Screen Durability on the RAZR?

[Tractorlegs]

The one thing that concerns me about my new RAZR 2023 is the durability of the screen. Does anyone have long-term experience with the RAZR series? I still have some time to buy the Motorola 24-month protection plan, and with the build quality of the device the only thing that bugs me is the durability of the fold. What sayest thou? TIA!

I’m reading in internet searches that there was some real problems circa 2020 with the slightly older RAZR folds, however the 2023 model(s) can go from 200,000 to 400,000 open-and-shuts and the screens are quite durable. The tests , performed on machines, are documented on YT. Looking at mine, it looks like the screen never folds flat with a crease when the clamshell is closed. It looks more like a “teardrop”, never creased, when closed. I don’t see why there would be a problem with durability with proper care.

If mine lasts for 200,000 folds, that would reflect 5+ years of use if I open the flip 100 times a day.. I’m good with that.

If anyone has experience with wrecked screens, I’d be interested in hearing your narrative. I have 30 days to buy the extended Motorola care lol - - - - -

With proper care your screen should be ok however, I would always get their moto care as you never know what may happen. Better safe than sorry is a good way to go.

Thanks for your response. Moto care is definitely an attractive option - like you say, better safe than sorry.
