Samsung GALAXY Fold was launched by the Samsung company with the promise that it is durable enough to be opened and closed 200.000 times, meaning it should withstand that many folds. An American company specializing in the sale of insurance for mobile phones wanted to test this, and according to them, the Samsung GALAXY Fold has a broken screen after only 18.500 folds, that is, less than 10% of what Samsung promised.
The Samsung GALAXY Fold was tested with a special device, the American company estimating that a person would fold the phone about 40.000 times a year, so their result suggests that the phone would break down in almost 6 months. Considering that the Samsung GALAXY Fold is a phone that costs 2000 dollars, the test reveals the fact that Samsung seriously exaggerated when it promised that the phone would withstand 200.000 folds, more than 10 times more.
Samsung GALAXY Fold and the Folding Test that DESTROYS Samsung's Promises
The Samsung GALAXY Fold had its screen broken even after one day by an American journalist who used it as a regular user, so from one day to 6 months anyone can expect the screen to break. In both cases it was about groups of dead pixels, appearing either in the folding area or in a relatively central area of a part of the Samsung GALAXY Fold screen, its replacement being mandatory in both situations.
The Samsung GALAXY Fold also went through a drop test that ended exactly as you imagined, the phone breaking very easily, even from the first drops, including the external screen. This is to be expected without question from a foldable phone, especially when it comes to the main screen, the Samsung GALAXY Fold being a fragile phone due to the way it is built, but everything is quite normal.
The Samsung GALAXY Fold is a surprisingly fragile phone for the high price for which it is sold, but Samsung warns its customers to protect their phones very well after purchase.
