That’s not bad, given your profession. You got a case on it? Just curious since I always get a case with a new phone.

I do use a case, nothing special, just some random chinese plastic. I also keep it wrapped in plastic protectors, both on the back and front, and tend to switch them out when it begins to look scuffed.
So far it looks kinda brand new besides the edges that have some actual scuff marks, i tend to drop it frequently lol

I’ve got the Honor Magic V3, it’s the 2 panel version of the OP device. I’ve had it for 6 months now, no complaints so far. I’m a stone mason, loooooots of super fine dusts of varying degrees of caustic. I got a slightly more robust case than what came with it, and I’m a bit more careful about what pocket I keep it in. I’ve dropped it over a dozen times, and mangled the hinge on one case already. But like you, I’ve had regular phones start failing around now, and this one is still fine. I feel like the first and 2nd gen foldables were where most of the kinks were worked out, and now they’re only slightly more delicate in very specific ways compared to a regular slab phone.
