The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 is the latest folding smartphone from South Korea and an example to follow in this market niche. However, we are well aware that the durability of these products still leaves many consumers in doubt.
A great way to address these concerns is with the famous JerryRigEverything channel durability test. And of course, the latest video puts the Samsung Galazxy Z Fold 4 to the test.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 survives JerryRigEverything channel tests
The YouTube channel JerryRigEverything has already established itself as the reference when it comes to testing the resistance of smartphones. So knowing that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 has survived its tests is excellent news.
In the video above you will see how the Samsung foldable gets away with it in all the tests to which it is subjected by the person in charge of this channel. Either because of its screen, structure and even because of its hinge.
On the outside, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 is quite robust thanks to the glass and metal chosen as the main construction materials. Still, the Gorilla Glass Victus glass on the outer screen has been shown to have the same level of resistance as the 2021 model.
When we look inside, things are slightly different. The screen is made of thin plastic and this makes it less resistant to scratches. It’s possible to scratch the screen with just your fingernail, hence all the warnings from Samsung to avoid too much pressure on this panel.
Despite the absence of an IP certification against dust, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 handles this material well. The mechanisms implemented by the company do an excellent job of preventing it from getting into the grooves of the product and damaging its materials.
Finally, we have the popular fold test where the Galaxy Z Fold 4 doesn’t fail. Regardless of the angle at which this test is taken, the Samsung foldable manages to maintain its integrity, without roaring or moving components.
In summary, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 is a robust product, but some caution is needed with certain aspects. Especially the inner screen which, as shown in the video, is the most sensitive component of this device.
