That's anecdotal, the manufacturers themselves admit that the hardware is statistically less durable than brick phones and there's plenty of 3rd party data to support it.

    If there's plenty of 3rd party data to support it - link some then. Because I can't find it.

    (Bullshit Youtube videos don't count.)

    The only data I could find more reputable than "Reddit sed" was Which, but since they contradict you I doubt that's in your "plenty of 3rd party data".

    I mean, here's one from a manufacturer themselves admitting brick phones are more durable.

    Honor is one of the largest foldable phone manufacturers worldwide, and they have something like 5-10% of the global smartphone market. You not knowing they exist is just you being ignorant of the global market 🙄

    It's me not buying cheap shit, is what it is. But as ever, I can't find a single source to back your assertion up - every source I found puts them in "others", below Samsung, Apple, Xiaomi, Huawei, Vivo and Oppo.

    You'll forgive me if I don't take "China's 5th biggest mobile manufacturer" as the One Source of Truth.

    Anyway, what is this deeply weird thing of yours? Do you want to show us all on the doll where the foldable phone touched you or something?

    Sure buddy. I provided sources and info. You decided 'anything on YouTube is crap', 'major manufacturer doesn't count', and are now resorting to ad hominems. There's no winning when the goalposts keep moving, and you're obviously not interested in civil discussions. Ciao.
