News Article: JerryRigEverything Tests the Durability of the Galaxy Z Flip 7
In the latest durability test on the popular tech YouTube channel JerryRigEverything, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 has been put through its paces. The video offers insights into why the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is considered one of the best foldable phones on the market.
The test began with a bend test, where the phone was forcefully bent backwards multiple times. To the surprise of many, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 survived the test with the screen and hinge intact, demonstrating a strong hinge design that compresses tightly at the joint, contributing to the foldable's impressive durability under extreme bending stress.
Regarding scratches, the Flip 7's outer screen (Gorilla Victus Glass 2) resisted scratches up to level 6-7 on the Mohs scale, similar to other premium phones like the iPhone 16 Pro. However, the inner folding screen was found to be easily scratched starting at level 2, meaning it can be damaged by a fingernail, which is consistent with earlier foldable Samsung models like the Galaxy Z Fold 7.
The phone also handled sand and dust well, with the hinge making audible creaks under dirt exposure but no mechanical failures, aligning with its IP48 rating that protects against dust particles larger than 1mm.
The video also provided a detailed view of the interior and components of the Galaxy Z Flip 7. The phone could not be snapped in half by hand, and the outer screen also resisted burns and tougher wear better than the inner screen, which is softer and more vulnerable.
Samsung offers one free replacement of the inner screen protector within the first year, with further replacements costing around $20. Users are advised not to attempt repairs themselves to avoid voiding warranty.
In summary, JerryRigEverything's test highlighted the Galaxy Z Flip 7's robust hinge and structural durability under bending stress, its outer screen's strong scratch resistance, but also the continued vulnerability of the inner folding screen to scratches and burns. The device's ability to withstand dust and dirt was also notably good for a foldable phone.
JerryRigEverything's durability tests are renowned among tech enthusiasts, and this latest test on the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is no exception. The channel provides valuable insights into the durability and build quality of the latest smartphones, helping consumers make informed decisions when purchasing new devices.
What if I were to ask about the Galaxy Z Flip 7's resistance to common gadgets like smartphones during the durability test? Additionally, how does the Galaxy Z Flip 7 perform when compared to smartphones with similar technology?
