Samsung's claim of the Galaxy Z Flip using a glass display is potentially misleading but is not false

[Redaktion]

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip has received much criticism owing to its highly fragile display. While durability tests do not show any indications of the display being made of glass, a closer examination does confirm the company's claims of using ultra-thin glass under a protective plastic layer. However, Samsung's marketing gives the impression that the Galaxy Z Flip's glass display is as reliable and scratch-proof as any other smartphone.

Not now maybe, but this looks to be the general trend the industry will embrace in the near future. At least, the Z Flip is in many ways better than the original Fold.

The screen is not "fragile", rather the word "soft" is better applicable. The plastic on top of the UTG behaved like TPU in the video, and while you could make marks on TPU easily with fingernails, most of them are not "scratches", they're "grooves" that become shallower as you rub over them, so while TPU is softer than older semi-hard plastics, it's considered far more durable as a screen protector, similar to this case.
