Foldable cell phones draw attention, without a doubt they draw our attention due to the ability to fold a single screen and make the smartphone more compact. However, as you could see in a recent video from Oficina da Net, the “foldables” (foldable) may not be the best choice for several reasons and one of them is the simple folding, which requires great resistance to resist the tension of opening and closing. Although companies like Motorola and Samsung claim how many openings and closings their smartphones can withstand without problems, the content producer of a channel called Mrkeybrd on YouTubeexplains that the testing machines used by manufacturers are very gentle close to the way a human uses the devices and to prove this, he carried out a test of continuously opening the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 to find out if the phone’s parts are really resistant as its creator says.

Recently, the channel “Mrkeybrd” on YouTube held a live broadcast (live streaming), where Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 5 went through 401,146 closings and openings before having problems on its screen. For comparison, in another test carried out by the same youtuber, Motorola’s Razr Plus started to have problems with 126,266 opening and closing movements. In both cases, the description of the video said:

It is important to mention that the Galaxy Z Flip 5’s hinge did not stop working permanently. After 223,000 openings and closings, the smartphone began to fail at the hinge, where the phone opened by itself at that point in the test. However, as the phone was still usable, they continued the experiment up to 400,000 closures and openings, at which point the device was dipped in water and covered with flour and eggs.
Samsung’s foldable cell phone test was only ended when the Galaxy Z Flip 5 showed a pink line on the right side of the screen. Below you can watch a video summarizing the main moments along with explanations about the process.
