Smartphones are durable, powerful devices we carry everywhere. They get slightly better every year, too. Whether that's through improved glass technology that's more shatter- and scratch-proof, or screen size adjustments to ensure the best experience in your hand. Take the just-announced Pixel 10 Pro Fold, for example. It's now IP68-rated for water and dust resistance, just like most flagship candybar phones. Just a few years ago, the hinge mechanism on folding phones was still having problems

After folding and unfolding the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 200,000 times by hand, Korean YouTube channel Tech-it found that the folding phone's redesigned hinge and thinner design couldn't withstand repeated handling. The stunt, which was livestreamed over the course of a few days, found that the phone would reboot every 6,000 to 10,000 folds. At 46,000 folds, the phone started to creak. At 75,000 folds, an unknown black liquid started to leak out of the hinge. At 175,000 folds, all speakers, incl

Someone folded the Galaxy Z Fold 7 200,000 times: Here’s what broke

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-06 11:12:16

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A Korean YouTuber manually folded the Galaxy Z Fold 7 200,000 times over five days to test its real-world durability. Samsung’s 500,000-fold durability claim for the inner screen seems plausible so far, but the test did produce some hardware issues. Notable issues included a reboot error (6,000–10,000 folds), hinge creaking (from 46,000 folds), liquid seepage (after 75,000 folds), and speaker failure (at 175,000 folds).
