If you had been questioning what structural magic enabled that, at present Zack is again with a teardown of the gadget in query. There is extremely skinny glass in between the pixels and the plastic protector on high of the foldable display screen.
The again of the show panel is carbon fiber, whereas the screws within the hinge are constituted of titanium. There are a ton of screws contained in the cellphone, in all probability round 80 the truth is. The batteries are very exhausting to take away, as there are not any pull tabs. There’s extra carbon fiber within the hinge as effectively.

That’s both genius advertising, attempting to trip on Apple’s coattails, or misleading advertising – or perhaps a little bit of each? Some carbon fiber right here and there, and titanium screws for one particular a part of the gadget positively do not do rather a lot for weight discount – however work wonders for such advertising.
