JerryRigEverything, which has been putting smartphones to endurance tests for years with a calm voice and producing videos like therapy, has finally taken Samsung’s new foldable flagship Galaxy Z Fold4 into its hands. Jerry attacked Fold4 with weapons such as a utility knife, lighter and powder, as he did with every phone.
In JerryRigEverything’s test, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 showed a big improvement in some points and no improvement in others compared to last year’s model. The phone’s home screen has the same level of low-scratch protection as last year’s model.
Durability test of Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4:
The biggest weakness in Samsung’s flagship foldable phone this year, too, has unfortunately been its home screen. The main screen of the phone left a distinct mark even with very light scratches. However, since the phone still carries a plastic main screen, it was not very successful in heating. Just 10 seconds of lighter testing caused the pixels on the spot where the heat hit to turn black.
On the other hand, the front screen of the Galaxy Z Fold4 gave the same performance as standard smartphone screens. The phone has withstood high levels of scratching and passed the heat test with a similar result to any phone on the market. What showed the Galaxy Z Fold4 to be an even more advanced model was the durability of the structure.
Galaxy Z Fold4 managed to stand firm in the bending test without taking any chances. Moreover, the Galaxy Z Fold4 did not show any defects even in the bending test made from the middle of the two screens when open. The phone did not absorb any of the soil that had been spilled on it.
How was the first model of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold series?
The first Galaxy Fold model, which Samsung released globally, was not very good in terms of durability. The main screen of the device left scratches at the lowest levels in the scratch test, instantly absorbing the smallest dust. The device remained surprisingly intact in the bending test. Of course, large stretches could be seen in the structure of the phone.
Samsung has made great progress especially in the structural durability of the phone with its 4 foldable models that it has launched in the past 3 years. Although the main screen part still carries the durability of the first Fold, the most critical point of the phone, the hinge, has been moved to a dust-free point. Of course, all this was crowned with the phone having the best hardware of every year.
