It's interesting to see OnePlus' first foldable. There's a video review of an early sample in the linked article: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWclrhYkRn0
Client presents a cracked iPhone XR. Total cost: $120. Time: 30 minutes Full warranty, come see us if the screen seems off.
Client presents cracked Samsung S10 Total cost: $120. Time: 45 minutes Full warranty, come see us if the screen seems off.
Client presents a broken Galaxy Fold. Says no other shops will repair it. Say I wonโt either. Asks why no one will.
Parts: $700 Labor: $300
Never worked on this phone, youโre paying me to learn with high probability of fucking up, not getting your money back, not providing a warranty. Letting you know this up front.

Don't foldables use OLED?
the Z Fold and Flip both have an LCD in the front of it in addition to its fold-able screen. As for the fold-able screens, yes they use OLED technology.
Whenever I ordered the part it was listed as LCD so idk. Maybe Samsung gave us an LCD for replacement but out of the factory they're AMOLED
- I will never watch this guy's videos
- It does look really nice
- I am still not interested in foldables
Yes indeed, it seems like a silent promotion to build hype, but it's more awkward than anything else.
I was walking around a Best Buy a week or so ago and took a look at the foldable phones. The things cost nearly as much as the new dual screen laptop from Lenovo! That and the fact the screens are still liable to break and I just can't understand the appeal.

As someone who worked in an electronics repair shop let me just say this: beware of folding phones. I will be the first to admit that the screen really does look great and I love the large landscape... when it's working. There are so many issues that come up with folding technology. I've had to repair so many Z Folds and Z Flips. The OEM screen protector constantly lifts and bubbles at the hinge. A lot of times there's pixel bleeding along the hinge. The repairability is a nightmare. Think about taking out components of a normal phone. Now double it and imagine having to carefully remove an outside LCD that is incredibly sensitive and breaks at the slightest touch. Replacing a drained battery or any small component like a sub-pba, mic, camera, orr anything else is a nightmare.
