Samsung’s new Galaxy Z Flip7 surprised everyone with its larger outer screen, but one big question remains for many buyers: how durable is the screen? Samsung Display recently revealed how durable the Galaxy Z Fold7’s inner screen is, and now everyone’s wondering if the Flip7 can match up.
According to Samsung Display (via Android Authority), the Z Flip7 uses the same advanced materials found in the Galaxy Z Fold7, which recently underwent durability testing by Bureau Veritas. “We internally assess that the foldable panel used in the Galaxy Z Flip7 also offers durability on par with that of the Fold7, as it incorporates various durability-enhancing technologies,” a Samsung Display spokesperson told Android Authority in response to concerns.
The book-style foldable can withstand:
- 500,000 folds at room temperature (25°C)
- 300,000 folds in high heat (60°C)
- 60,000 folds in freezing conditions (-20°C)
That’s a major improvement over last year’s Galaxy Z Fold6, which was rated for just 200,000 folds under normal conditions. If we compare the Z Flip7 to the 2023 Z Flip5, the difference is clear:
- Z Flip 5 was rated for 200,000 folds at room temperature
- Just 30,000 folds in the cold (-20°C)
- And 150,000 folds in heat (60°C)
The Z Flip7’s numbers — based on shared components with the Fold7 — suggest that Samsung has made major strides. For example, assuming you open and close the phone 100 times a day, the Flip7’s screen could last over 13 years under normal conditions, or around four years in freezing cold, even with regular use. While durability in harsh temperatures has improved, Samsung still recommends using the device in environments between 0°C and 35°C for best performance.
