# Titanium Hinge for a Million Bends, IP58, Nanocrystalline Glass Outside — and an Inner Display That Can't Withstand a Fingernail. JerryRigEverything Test on Oppo Find N6 Reveals a Design Compromise Common to the Entire Class of Foldable Flagships A durability test of the Oppo Find N6 by popular tech reviewer JerryRigEverything has exposed a fundamental design flaw shared across foldable flagship devices. While the phone boasts premium features such as a titanium hinge rated for one million folds and an IP58 water-resistance rating with nanocrystalline glass protection on the exterior, its internal display proves surprisingly fragile.

This compromise between external durability and internal display vulnerability appears to be endemic to the entire category of high-end foldable devices.
