    Why would it need to lock? It’s no different than a normal foldable in that regard, the hinges are firm and hold in the position you put it.

      With something that large and the hinges folding in opposite directions one will want to fold when you are pressing on the screen.

        Huh? Each hinge will be doing exactly the same thing as every other foldable for the last 5 years.

          Except it’s bigger and heavier and zero foldables have had two opposing hinges. But OK.
