If you are worried about how durable Samsung’s new foldable phones are, you shouldn’t be. The Galaxy Z Fold3 already proved to us that it is significantly better than its predecessors in all ways when it survived JerryRigEverything’s durability test. Now the Galaxy Z Flip3 has been put through the same test and the result shows Samsung didn’t skimp on quality on the smaller foldable phone.
The Galaxy Z Flip3 also has two displays, though they are much smaller than the ones on the Galaxy Z Fold3. The outer display, which is bigger than that of the original Galaxy Z Flip, is the stronger of the two screens. It scratches at a level 6 with deeper grooves at level 7, thanks to the sheet of Gorilla Glass Victus protecting it. It also holds up on the flame test, lasting up to 25 seconds before turning white.
The foldable display is not as strong which isn’t surprising. Simply running your fingernail on the screen with a bit of pressure will cause grooves to appear. However, the display does hold up pretty well and is still functional and undamaged even after being bent twice!!
The Galaxy Z Flip3 has its frame made of metal, so it will survive drops. There is also a rubber lip around the display that absorbs the shock when you snap the phone shut. The phone isn’t dustproof but it is force-fed dust and it comes out working fine.
Samsung has done an impressive job with the Galaxy Z Flip3, proof that it isn’t experimenting with this new product category but making phones the average person can use.
