How long can the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 withstand a torture test? Opening and closing at least 143 hours and 418,502 times! At least…
Anyone who still has doubts about a foldable smartphone can safely let it go. This is again apparent from a torture test of no less than 143 hours in which YouTuber Mrkeybrd the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 opened and closed no less than 418,502 times. And even after an inhuman amount of folding, the clamshell smartphone still seems to work very well. Only the hinge got a little tired during that time.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 torture test
No doubt everyone remembers it; the Galaxy Fold was the first mainstream foldable smartphone and it literally broke within the first day. After several generations and two form factors, Samsung seems to have learned its lesson.
The Galaxy Z Flip 3 simply cannot be broken during normal use. The device continuously survived the folding movement performed by humans over a period of almost 6 days! That is an important nuance, since we all believe that a robot can open and close the clamshell perfectly every time. But people are inaccurate and therefore somewhat difficult for tech to tolerate.
Not the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3, according to the unsponsored torture test. Although the smartphone no longer stays closed and can no longer be opened completely straight, the screen still works just fine.
That is striking, since Samsung itself indicates that the device can be folded up to 200,000 times. That is roughly equivalent to 5 years of use, with 100 opening and closing movements per day. In reality, the screen is not broken at twice that time.
