Everyone I've talked to who owned one has complained that the screen either gets a line in it where the fold is or delaminates.
I think it's a fad that will probably die off soon
I had one for about a year and went back to a normal phone. The crease didn't bother me at all, had no problem with delamination... Really no problems with the phone at all. It was great for watching YT and multitasking, but in the end, it was just a really thick/bulky phone and it was annoying to deal with.
I think I'd really prefer a 5.5" screen, if I need something bigger, I'll use a different device.
Hopefully the materials will improve before then. I think foldable screens are a great idea.
Delamination is the factory installed screen protector, which can be replaced, not the screen itself.
