In the night from Wednesday to Thursday, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip has its 100,000. Folding process put behind. And that did not leave our folding robot made of Lego technology completely without a trace: With around 79,000 folds, the axis of rotation on the 24-tooth gear on the left gave up its ghost. After the repair, it did not take long for both lift arms on the right side to be broken after approximately 82,000 folding operations (the axis is twisted).
We were also able to remedy this defect very quickly and the machine was intact again. The Galaxy Z Flip happily flipped all night long, until today the left electric motor has smoked around 103,000 times. We were able to report a similar defect during the test of the Samsung Galaxy Fold, and now it has also affected the folding of the Z Flips. Around an hour of work and a new electric motor later, the machine can continue to work. The counter is currently at around 107,000 folds.
In contrast to our robot, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip still does not work out. After a more precise intermediate inspection of the foldable, the folding process seems to have become a little bit looser, but so far there are no restrictions in terms of functions and operation. Let’s go to the second half of the test!
