From the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 torture test, we can conclude that the latest foldable device from Samsung is practically indestructible.
The first Samsung Galaxy Fold was a fragile mess. It was therefore essential that Samsung would release a sturdy smartphone this year with the Galaxy Z Fold2. JerryRigEverything’s insight has more than succeeded. The YouTuber applied his not-so-scientific, painful-to-watch torture test to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2, which costs a month’s salary.

As always, the YouTuber with the scratch test. This shows that the screen on the outside is a ‘normal’ screen, or quite scratch resistant. Unfortunately, that does not apply to the foldable screen. There you can already make permanent damage with a fingernail by scratching the soft plastic top layer.
Fun fact: Samsung has added a lot of extra warnings in the box of the Galaxy Z Fold2, thanks in part to Jerry’s torture test. It now explicitly states that you should not scratch the screen with your fingernails.
Unbreakable
Then the answer comes to the key question: how strong is the device actually? The test starts with “a scientifically composed assortment of sand and pebbles” and everything seems okay even after being forced shut. That was different last year, when a grain of sand here and there appeared to get stuck in the hinge.
Speaking of the hinges, they look very strong. The real torture test of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 therefore focuses on the weak spot. The muscular Jerry tries with all his might to break the plane in two. “Logically, the smartphone should break in half exactly in the middle.” Surprisingly, the device remains completely intact!
This smartphone scratches more easily than chocolate on a sunny day and costs more than Trump’s taxes. But the device is without a doubt very well put together. Still, I think – if you want to save some money – you might as well buy last year’s Galaxy Fold.
