It's more engineering than Physics
Thanks for the shout out!
Using a $1.8k device completely within its design limits & having it break in < a year is NOT reassuring. Having more than second thoughts on UTG in general.
As we all know, everything in time and space is one big probability distribution, whether it be dropping your phone and cracking the screen, opening a foldable or getting crushed by a falling piano.
The 1 in 10,000 mentioned is considerably less than the live streamed durability tests (e.g. 126,000 for a Moto and no failure after 350,000 for a Samsung), but even so for a user like myself who opens my OP Open maybe 3 times a day, even the highest probability of failure will easily outlast my usage of the phone.
Gone all Dirty Harry 😂
Surface Duo doesn't have this problem
Not sure I'm feeling that lucky! 😁
They look nice but are overly expensive for the risk of that fold. In the last few years we've seen many attempted form factors including some retro ones from a British company but have all failed and the portrait smartphones are the only practical devices.
Oof
King “dirty” Harold…
