The internal panel, however, did not have the same result, largely because of the plastic material of the display. So, here it is very clear why Samsung warns regarding pressing the screen too hard. The aluminum frame are all easily scratched by the presenter throughout the video.
The screens also had their resistance once morest fire tested and although they might withstand a few seconds, they ended up with permanent damage. Likewise, the biometry sensor stopped working following some scratches were made on the device’s on/off button.
Dust certification has been tested as well and obtained a positive result. Before ending the test, Jerry still tries to fold the Z Flip 5 backwards, but the hinge prevented the device from being completely destroyed. Finally, the small foldable ended up surviving, even if with sequels.
