Foldable phone users warned against common screen-damaging mistakes

Users of foldable phones should exercise caution to avoid damaging the delicate inner screens. Common mistakes include closing the phone on foreign objects like keys or coins, which can scratch or puncture the display. It is also advised not to remove the factory-applied screen protector, as it is integral to the screen's durability, and to avoid using unapproved screen protectors or styluses. While manufacturers test hinges and screens for hundreds of thousands of folds, these figures should be treated as benchmarks rather than guarantees of lifespan. AI
