Foldable Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X phones: 3 models compared

What is it?

What is Foldable Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X and what does it do?

Foldable Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X is Samsung's name for the folding inner display of its Galaxy Z line: an OLED panel that bends without breaking, topped with ultra-thin glass and a protective film instead of a glass sheet. 'Dynamic' stands for HDR10+ support, '2X' for refresh up to 120 Hz, and LTPO for the rate dropping on static content.

The name describes the inner display; the cover display is a separate panel in its own row. A folding panel shows and feels a slight crease along the hinge, and the top layer is softer than glass and not as resistant to fingernail marks as hard glass.
