Unleashing the Resilience: Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Fold 5 Torture Tests Reveal Unprecedented Durability [Video]

Many people have said that Samsung and other companies’ folding smartphones don’t last long enough. Stories of screens breaking on their own have been going around the internet for a while now. But more tests of the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 5 under extreme conditions show that Samsung’s phones are stronger than people think.

As part of a live-streamed test over the past few days, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 was put through hundreds of thousands of folds, which finally killed the folding flip phone. Samsung tests the device by folding it with a machine. Mr. Key’s test, on the other hand, was done each fold by hand, which meant that each try had a different amount of pressure and speed.

The Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Fold 5 are rated by Samsung at 200,000 folds. However, in this test, the Flip 5 survived twice as long, with over 400,000 successful folds before it died.

That amount wasn’t reached for free. The hinge began to act up after about 220,000 folds, partly opening itself with springs. The gadget was still fully usable at that point, though. After 400,000, it was still going, but it finally stopped working after being soaked in water, flour, and eggs. The screen also stopped working soon after. In the end, there were 401,146 folds. The live stream can’t be seen anymore because the recording isn’t available.

Still, Samsung did well because the Motorola Razr+ gave up after only 126,266 folds in the same test.

That alone shows how well Samsung has done here. The Galaxy Z Flip 5 and the Fold 5 are still very sturdy after five generations. They are built on the same design.

This is supported by the famous Jerry Rig Everything torture test of the Galaxy Z Fold 5. The hinge, screen, and frame of the folding phone can handle cuts, flames, and a hard bend test. Google’s Pixel Fold recently broke in the same test, which made Samsung’s lead even stronger.

Some bad things will always happen with folding phones, but these tests keep showing that they are much more durable than you think, especially when it comes to Samsung’s products.

Putting Samsung’s Z Flip 5 to the Test: Unleashing Its Durability in Extreme Conditions

In a very difficult durability test, Samsung’s new Galaxy Z Flip 5 folding phone was put through its paces.

Zack Nelson of JerryRigEverything, a popular tech YouTuber, put the new Galaxy Z Flip 5 through all of his normal tough tests, such as cutting, scraping, burning, and bending it.

It’s always a little strange to see someone abuse a brand-new, expensive phone, but Nelson does it for you.

The Galaxy Z Flip 5 will never be put through anything like what the YouTuber does, but it does show how tough the device is.

When it comes to Samsung’s Flip 5, the new phone works well all around. For example, the outside screen is made of Gorilla Glass Victus 2, which is very tough, so it did great on the scratch test. The inner screen, on the other hand, is made of plastic so that it can be folded, which makes it more likely to get bumps and lines than scratches.

To see how the phone likes it, Nelson pulls out the box cutter and drags it down the body of the phone. Spoiler alert: the phone doesn’t like it. Continue watching to cringe through the “fun little dirt test” and see how Flip 5 handles a naked flame right next to it.

Nelson then does his own, very random but very useful, bend test with his own hands and raw force to see if the gadget holds up. This is something he always does to see how long something lasts. You might think that breaking a folding phone in half would be as easy as breaking a cookie, but the Galaxy Z Flip 5’s newly designed hinge makes it hold up surprisingly well and, most importantly, stay together.

The $1,000 Samsung foldable does pretty well in Nelson’s test of sturdiness, even though it looks like it’s been used a lot.

The YouTuber is happy with the Flip 5, and after the test, he or she likes it even more. Nelson says he might use it instead of his trusty Galaxy Note 10, but first, he wants to see how the scheduled device breakdown goes.

In a live-streamed durability test of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5, the device managed to survive twice that, with over 400,000 successful folds before it fully died. However, after about 220,000 folds, the hinge started to act up, springing itself partially open, but the device was still fully functional at that point. After 400,000 folds, it was still running but finally died after being submitted to a bath in water, flour, and eggs, shortly after which the display died.

Samsung’s devices are far more durable than people tend to think, especially for their releases, such as the Galaxy Z Flip 5.
