Considering everyone I know with a folding phone has had a fault with the folding part of it - I don't think its the best idea from a durability standpoint to add yet another folding part.
If one screen or fold point breaks, you're now left with two unusable (but perfectly functioning) screens. Seems like an expensive gimmick to me.
From the moment I saw it, I knew what the problem would be, and surprise! That's the problem.
BTW, I'm a musician, not an engineer. If I saw that obvious issue, what is their fucking problem?
The engineer's problem is that the marketing and sales department started running all of the companies two decades ago. So, they're constantly overruled.
Valid, also the accountanting departments, which is the kiss of death for any company. Never let the accountants run anything, just keep them in their hole, counting the money.
