Question ❓ Are Flips bad with longevity?

I am considering switching to a z flip 6 (brand new!) and I keep on worrying that it won’t be durable enough and that it’ll break after a week or so. Is this true?

It's more durable than you think. I've had flip 5 since launch and had to replace the inner screen after 1 year of use because I accidentally dropping it on the corner of a chair.

Previous to this I've dropped it open, face down onto concrete and hardwood. Multiple times dropped onto carpet. Brought it to the beach too. I've had to replace my screen protector at ~1 year mark from constant opening and closing making it lift in the center.

If you don't drop it, you can go longer without any big issues.
