Galaxy Z Flip 7 survives JerryRigEverything’s bend test, but it’s not all good

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-16 09:15:35

TL;DR YouTube channel JerryRigEverything has put the Galaxy Z Flip 7 through its durability test. Samsung’s phone survived a bend test with the screen intact, and it also fared better than expected in sand and dust. Unfortunately, the Flip 7’s inner screen is easily scratched, which is in line with other foldable phones.

7 ways Google could make a Pixel Flip the best flip phone foldable out there

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority Google is preparing to launch the Pixel 10 Pro Fold this month, marking the company’s third foray into the foldable phone space. What if you want a pocket-friendly Pixel foldable, though? Unfortunately, Google hasn’t launched a Pixel Flip, and we don’t expect one any time soon. That means Samsung and Motorola are the only globally available options if you want a foldable flip phone. That’s a real shame, because I can think of several ways that Google could ma

An upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 7 rival could have the biggest battery in a Flip phone

HONOR’s rumored Flip phone will apparently launch later this month. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 offers a 4,300mAh battery, which is a small but welcome bump over last year’s model. However, rivals like the Motorola Razr Ultra 2025 go even larger. It now looks like HONOR could also up the ante. Leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that the

is a reviewer with over a decade of experience writing about consumer tech. She has a special interest in mobile photography and telecom. Previously, she worked at DPReview.
