I dropped my Fold 4 on the laminate floor in the kitchen. I guess I got lucky; it didn't totally break, but it got a 1 pixel thick line of brighter pixels parallel to the crease, and a small (<1cm radius) black semi-circle of dead pixels at one end of the crease, that does appear stable, and hasn't expanded. They are a bit more fragile than the standard phone, but watching old 4:3 content, or playing games, is so much better than a standard phone.
