The first foldable phone was presented and launched by Royole Flexpai, a Chinese company that no one had heard anything about until the moment it presented its phones at CES 2019. Last weekend I presented you a video clip in which the phone was used for the first time by a youtuber in an extended video clip, and now we also see a first resistance test for the foldable phone that costs 1300 dollars.
Even from the first scratch tests, it can be seen that the plastic screen will scratch very easily, even 2 times easier than a smartphone with Gorilla Glass, so users must be very careful, because protective films must not be applied to it . Now users don't only have to think about the fact that the foldable phone screen remains with two creases due to bending, but also about the fact that scratching is extremely easy.
The first foldable phone and the RAS resistance test
Moving on to the case, it is made of plastic, and it scratches extremely easily, and replacing it is not exactly something that can be done that easily, so users will be left with scratched phones. Even the high temperature of an open flame should not be applied to the screen, because unlike phones with glass over the screens, in this case the plastic burns completely, and the respective area becomes completely useless.
As far as bending is concerned, the foldable phone has no big problems in bending to its normal shape, making some rather strange sounds, and having an unusually large hole between the pieces of the case. When bending the phone in the opposite direction, you can see that it is surprisingly resistant, the hinge being surprisingly flexible, and after breaking the screen still remains functional, which is surprising.
Despite the surprising resistance of the hinge, the plastic screen is the big problem, because it scratches ridiculously easily, remains with two annoying creases, and all this for no less than 1300 dollars.
