I feel like I wouldn’t worry too much about that exposed screen, is it any different to the exposed screen on the front really? I’d see it as a great opportunity for some additional functionality to be honest.

To be fair you are right in that it hadn't occurred to me that the front is also the flexible screen instead of traditional like current foldables but that would just make me even more worried. I would never trust that kind of screen exposed in my pocket.

I’ve never used one enough to know how they are - would you say the flexible screens are a lot more incident prone than regular ones? I’ve always been pretty good with keeping my phones in good condition so it’s not really something I think to be concerned about.

They're fine to use, I've had 3 with no issues but they can be damaged by things like thumbnails. You'd never be able to have anything else in your pocket with it.

Not a huge issue nowadays, most of the time I only carry a phone and keys with me.

I see your kids haven't reached the "dad can I have your phone" age yet.

That’s what Mummy’s phone is for.
