Foldable smartphones are known to offer some innovative tech but also have its own share of drawbacks. These models are typically classed among the most expensive mobile devices and are not very durable either. But while the pricing issue will likely take some time, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 takes on the latter notion with its Herculean build.
Is the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 just built different?
In a recent JerryRigEverything video, the South Korean tech giant’s Galaxy Z Fold 5 garnered a positive review in the durability test. The video shows Zack putting the foldable phone through a number of different endurance tests. This ranges from a scratch test, a dust folding test, and a burn test. The Galaxy Z Fold 5 survived all of these tests and managed to work normally for the most part.
However, the most interesting part of the video was the bend test. To check if the ultra-premium device can survive bending in the opposite direction, Zack bent the device when it is closed and opened. This is the test that the Google Pixel Fold and the Motorola Razr+ didn’t survive. On the other hand, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 managed to get through this test without breaking a sweat.
The device didn’t break from anywhere or face any major crack or snap. So safe to say, this foldable phone will not let you down. In his own words, the device defies all expectations since its beyond what Samsung intended the phone to survive.
