I know a person who has some Samsung foldable phone that is as of right now (2025.12.03) about a year old. According to them, everything was fine since February when the phone was bought. But last week we got below 0C weather, so the fold line on the screen got layers separated.
Z Fold 7 is 2000 euro. They might have Z Fold 6, I am not sure. Regardless, that is way too expensive of a phone to breaks under a mildly cold weather.
I only dumped my flip 4 because the winters can get - 20f and plastic and bendy glass hates that. If I lived in a nicer climate, I'd totally have one still. Never gave me issues even in the cold though
its like curved screen gimmick, prone to defect, failures because of the awkward construction making it prone to failures, plus screen protectors have a hard time being placed on them..
