Foldable smartphones are the latest device trend, and companies including Huawei and Samsung have released new foldable smartphones in the past few months.
Samsung’s first foldable smartphone, the Galaxy Fold, had a major durability problem that delayed its launch. So far, Samsung’s Latest foldable device, the Galaxy Z Flip, seems to work better, but so do some complaints about manufacturing quality and display problems.
Over the weekend YouTuber JerryRigEverything tested the durability of the Galaxy Z Flip display for the first time, which is made from flexible “ultra thin glass” instead of the plastic used in the Galaxy Fold.
Tests showed that the Galaxy Z Flip’s display scratched like plastic and was not resistant to scratching or other damage, and that the nails on the display could be permanently creased, which is a problem for device that costs $1380 US dollars.
In response to the video, Samsung said in a statement on CNBC that the display should be handled with care and that is has the same protective layer as the Galaxy Fold, which may explain some of the scratches.
Another user of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip on Twitter got his smartphone, opened the box, turned on the phone, and split in the middle, which he thought was probably due to the cold weather. Cracking in the scratches is a problem that’s troubling the Galaxy Fold, and Samsung does warn against pressing hard on the screen and making sure nothing is on it when you fold it, but cracking in the middle out of the box is accidental.
