Foldable phone hinges need care to prevent costly damage

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Maintaining the hinge on foldable phones requires simple habits to prevent costly damage. While modern hinges are engineered for durability, keeping grit and debris away from the mechanism is crucial, as dust can shorten hinge life and damage internal displays. Manufacturers like Samsung and Motorola advise clearing foreign objects before closing the phone and avoiding excessive pressure on the inner display. Although fold-count ratings are reassuring, they represent laboratory conditions for the display panel, not necessarily every component of the hinge, and real-world use involves more wear and tear.
