If it holds true that Samsung’s new foldable has a glass screen, that would distinguish it from the Razr and Samsung’s first foldable, the Galaxy Fold, both of which have plastic screens. And maybe this rumored glass screen is more resilient than the unreliable plastic one that nearly delivered on the Galaxy Fold prior to it was delayed and Samsung was forced to revamp the design.
