Endurance and resilience are two words not always associated with foldable phones, but in a recently released Samsung video, the new Galaxy Z Flip5 and Z Fold5’s durability is assessed
through a series of rigorous tests inflicted by a gang of robots. The mini-Samsung movie is similar to last year’s video and begins with an open and close test, submitting the phones through
200,000 cycles, confirmed by Bureau Veritas. [embedded content] For the second trial, there is a tumble test assessing the performance of the phone’s new Flex Hinge design, which has a dual
rail structure designed to dull the force of an impact. The next test is a water resistance experiment which stars the IPX8 model shown submerged in 1.5m or 5ft of water for 30 minutes. The
IPX4 was submitted to a different experience of being blasted with nozzles with direct and forceful sprays of water. Additionally, a temperature and moisture test is then performed,
followed by an environmental chamber test and one more drop test. Nearing the end, a display test for the Galaxy Z Fold5 with the S Pen is carried out and for the last test, both phone
displays were smacked with a steel ball repetitively. We don’t suggest you treat your phones in this manner, instead, watch this space for a Channel News review with our take on the newest
Samsung flip and folds.
