  • With all the interesting inner bits out of the way, we turn our attention to the star of the show: the foldable OLED display itself.

  • The interior bezel lip—still held only by light adhesive—comes up without much of a fight.

  • Normally we overwhelmingly prefer a light touch when it comes to adhesive. And yet, in this case, we can't help but worry these bezels may peel over time, exposing the screen to damage.

  • These bezels are super slim—when peeled up, they barely cover two millimeters of display.

  • With the bezels pulled up, you can see the new T-shaped plastic protection caps guarding either edge of the display's fold. A flexible gasket stretches over the gap, tucking under the tail of the T.

  • This is definitely an improvement over the gaping hole left here in the gen-1 Fold—but will it really keep all your pocket lint and Cheeto dust from working its way into that display? For that matter, what about ants? No really, what about ants?

  • Better hope you live in a bubble...
