For years, it has put smartphones with a calm voice to endurance tests and make videos as therapy. JerryRigEverythingFinally, Samsung’s new foldable flagship Galaxy Z Fold4he took it in his hand. Jerry attacked Fold4 with weapons like a knife, lighter and gunpowder, as he would with any phone.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 is in some ways a big improvement over last year’s model in JerryRigEverything’s test, in some ways it showed no improvement. The home screen of the phone has the same level of scratch protection as last year’s model.
Durability test of Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4:
Samsung’s flagship foldable phone Unfortunately, the biggest weakness this year was also the home screen. The main screen of the phone left a clear mark even with very light scratches. However, since the phone still has a plastic main screen, it was not very successful in heating. Testing just 10 seconds lighter caused the pixels where the heat hit to go black.
On the other side is the front screen of the Galaxy Z Fold4 same performance as standard smartphone screens gave. The phone has endured many scratches and passed the heat test with a result similar to any other phone on the market. What showed that the Galaxy Z Fold4 was an even more advanced model was the durability of the structure.
Galaxy Z Fold4 managed to hold up in the bend test without taking any risks. Plus, even in the bend test, the Galaxy Z Fold4 is open in the middle of the two screens left no room for flaws. The phone did not pick up any dirt that was spilled on it.
How was the first model of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold series?
The first Galaxy Fold model, which Samsung released worldwide, was not very good in terms of durability. The main screen of the device left scratches at the lowest levels in the scratch test and immediately absorbed the smallest dust. The device remained surprisingly intact in the bend test. Of course, there were large chunks to be seen in the phone’s structure.
Samsung, especially with the 4 folding models it has launched in the past 3 years, It has made great strides in its structural durability. While the main screen portion still carries the durability of the first Fold, the phone’s most critical point, the hinge, has been moved to a dust-free point. All of this, of course, was awarded the phone with the best hardware of each year.
