- Samsung’s Flip 7 went through an extreme durability test
- Its outer screen is resistant, but the internal screen is scratch and burns easily
- However, you cannot break in half
Our telephone test is very rigorous, but we focus on what a regular person would get the device and if it is better or worse than competition at the same price; Routinely we do not set fire to the phone screens, we bathe devices on the ground or try to scratch each surface with a knife, but that is what a tester has done to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7.
In an extreme durability test, which you will find several on your YouTube channel, Jerryrigeverything seriously put the new Samsung folding to the test, a follow -up of a similar video that involves the Galaxy Z fold 7 approximately approximately one week before.
Attend
In the video of just under 9 minutes, Samsung’s phone is tortured, but we learn some useful details.
The exterior screen is quite resistant, standing to materials significantly more than the internal screen, than a particularly overwhelming nail scratch can create grooves, and also resist the direct heat of the flame of a lighter. The internal screen is with a pair of permanent green damage marks after about 15 seconds of fire exposure.
Then it is soaked from the ground, including that a healthy padding falls directly into its hinge. The opening and closing of the telephone with covered land allowed some land to enter the mechanism, you can listen to it creak when opening and closing after the fact, but at least during the video, no other permanent damage is noted.
Finally, Jerryrigeverything does everything possible to break the phone in half with his hands, but survives his attempts.
You should see absolutely see the full video, especially if, like me, you are too cautious with your technology to let intrusive thoughts win, because it highlights the extreme lengths to which you should really destroy these folding.
Harder than you think
I have used a folding daily driver for about a year. I started with the Galaxy Z fold 6 and recently updated to the Samsung Galaxy Z fold 7.
Because I get those phones through my work, it is true that I am a little more laissez-faire with the way I deal (which means that I will buy a cheap screen protector, but not a case), but both phones have remained very, very well.
The Z Fold 6 has some bruises on the edges, but nothing serious, and my z fold 7 is close to Immaculate. Neither of them has problems with their hinges, and although you can see your folds, it is not super remarkable in any of the phones when you are using one.
This leads me to a point that I made in our Samsung Special podcast. While IP48 dust and an impermeable rating means that folding can let fine dirt (anything smaller than 1 mm), and its inner screen is not as durable as a normal phone screen, most normal people will probably have no serious problems.
I have been on a sand beach twice in the last year and visited a desert, without my folding being affected. I was careful, of course, but no more that I am with a non -plain.
If you work regularly on the beach or, for example, a dusty wooden store, or in a superharsh environment, a folding might not be ideal. But for most people, these extreme and one -year tests show that they are surprisingly lasting if you are kind to them. If the durability were the reason why you have postponed to buy one, it might not be a problem as big as imagine.
