Recently, the JerryRigeeverything YouTube channel has tested the new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 folding smartphone. The device successfully passed the flexibility test, like the previous Galaxy Z Fold7 model.
The outer screen is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus 2 and received a hardness of 6 on the scale of Mosa – scratches appear only with a level of 7, which is characteristic of flagship models. However, the internal flexible screen is made of soft polymer material and scratches already at 2, that is, even the nail leaves traces on it. To protect users, Samsung offers to replace the protective film of the internal screen for free during the first year, and then for $ 20.
With a fire test, the outer screen withstood the flame for more than 20 seconds without significant damage. The internal screen withstood about 15 seconds, after which he automatically turned off and there were noticeable burns.
We also checked protection against dust and dirt. Despite the hit of a large amount of dirt into the hinge, the phone continued to work without breakdowns, although a small creak was heard.
In general, with severe flexion, the case deformed, but did not break. The new hinge showed improved reliability compared to previous models.
