- Samsung Flip 7 has passed an extreme sustainable test
- Its outdoor screen is robust, but the interior screen is easily scratched and burned
- He could not be broken in half by hand, however
Our telephone tests are very rigorous, but we focus on what an ordinary person would withdraw from the gadget and if it is better or worse than competition at the same price; We do not fix the fire on the telephone screens, do not bathe the dirt gadgets or try to scratch each surface with a knife – but that’s what a tester did at the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7.
In an extreme sustainability test, which you will find several on its YouTube channel, JerryrigeVery everything has seriously put the new foldable of Samsung through its rhythms – a follow -up of a similar video involving the Galaxy Z Fold 7 about a week earlier.
To watch
In the video just under 9 minutes, Samsung’s phone is tortured, but we learn some useful details.
The outdoor screen is quite robust, resulting from materials much more difficult than the interior screen – in which a particularly energetic nail scratch is capable of creating grooves – and also direct heat from the flame of a lighter. The interior screen is found with a few permanent green damage brands after about 15 seconds of fire exposure.
He is then soaked in dirt, including dropping a healthy boost in his hinge. The opening and closing of the phone with covered dirt allowed a little soil to penetrate the mechanism – you can hear it Crunch when opening and closing after the fact – but at least during the video, no other permanent damage is visible.
Finally, JerryrigeVery is her best to take the phone in two with his hands, but that survives his attempts.
You should absolutely go watch the full video – especially if, like me, you are too cautious with your technology to let intrusive thoughts win – because it highlights the extreme lengths that you need to go to tear these folds.
More difficult than you think
I have been using a foldable as a daily driver for about a year. I started with the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and I recently upgraded to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7.
Because I receive these phones in my work, I am certainly a little more leave with the way I treat them (which means that I will buy a cheap screen protector, but not a case), but the two phones very well resistant.
The Z Fold 6 has a few bruises on the edges, but nothing serious, and my Z Fold 7 is close to the Immaculature. Neither has problems with their hinges, and although you can see their folds, it is not super noticeable on one or the other phone when you use one.
It brings me to a point that I did on our Samsung special podcast. Although this edition of IP48 and sealing dust means that foldables can let the dirt fine in fine (everything that is smaller than 1 mm), and their interior screen is not as durable as an ordinary telephone display, most normal people will probably have no serious problems.
I went to a sandy beach twice in the past year, and I visited a desert, without my foldable being affected. I was careful, of course, but no more than I am with a non-reportable.
If you work regularly at the beach or inside, for example, a dusty carpentry store, or in a super harsh environment, a foldable may not be ideal. But for most people, these extreme and lies tests prove that they are surprisingly lasting if you are nice to them. If sustainability was the reason why you were postponed by buying one, it may not be such an important problem as you imagine.
