Foldable phones, praised for their flexibility, also bring a set of durability concerns that users should navigate carefully.

Engadget notes that the design of foldable devices incorporates moving hinges and internal displays that are more susceptible to wear than traditional smartphones. The repeated flexing of the hinge can lead to mechanical fatigue, while the internal screen is more vulnerable to scratches, cracks, and pressure points. These factors mean that a foldable phone’s lifespan can be significantly shorter if the device is handled improperly. Manufacturers have responded by adding protective coatings and reinforced hinges, but the fundamental structural differences still require careful use.

According to Engadget, there are several common mistakes that can accelerate the degradation of a foldable phone. Users often forget that the hinge and internal display are not as robust as the outer casing, leading to
