Already A few weeks have passed since the introduction of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 and Flip5, a new generation of folding devices from a Korean technology company that we can confirm is the most dedicated to this type of device for years. So much so that probably, if not for their persistence in this regard, other manufacturers would not have been encouraged to jump into this market, thereby significantly expanding the options for users.

It is true that it does (and not only in the case of Samsung, it must be clearly stated). the first folding smartphone models that hit the market weren’t particularly durable. It is understandable, but of course it left an indelible mark on this type of device, a stain that they have not been able to get rid of, although it is undeniable that they have evolved much better in this regard, to point out that the resistance of current models is not much or nothing envy smartphones with a solid form factor.

In this regard, there are several tests that devices like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 have to undergo, and although traditionally the most demanding tests have been from the manufacturers themselves, for some time now there have been a number of content creators who specialize in exposing the most outstanding smartphones on the market, I think the term test durability is a bit short, because it almost deserves more description of torture.

One of the most notable communicators in this regard is JerryRigEverything, who also sometimes subjects the device to disassembly tests. You can see some of his most important tests at this link. And now we will recall a new test in which subjected the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 to a complete and very demanding durability test, from which the folding folding machine emerged as the winner.. What’s more, looking at Jerry’s test history in this regard with folding, we can confirm that we are facing the most durable model to date.

As you can see in the video, the Galaxy Z Fold5 has had to face fire, a cutter, brute force… and there are times when the phone may seem to give way. But no, in some tests where other devices were permanently damaged, in this case we find more than remarkable durability.

On the other hand, in a test that was broadcast live on YouTube but is currently not available online, another YouTuber wanted to verify the durability of the hinge Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5, which Samsung estimates at 200,000 times. The result was that although they started to have some problems after 220,000 s, it was able to function properly until it exceeded 400,000.
