Galaxy Z Fold7's display can fold 2.5 times more than the Fold6, test reveals
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 is the thinnest in its lineup, yet it's also more durable than its predecessor. The Fold7's folding display was certified to last more than half a million folds - 2.5 times (or 85%) more than what its predecessor achieved in a durability test last year (200,000)! Certification company Bureau Veritas completed the 500,000 folds after which the Galaxy Z Fold7 remained fully functional! The testing was done over 13 days at 25°C (77°F), simulating over 10 years of average daily use - 100 folds per day. That also translates to over 6 years of heavy use - 200 times a day! Samsung achieved the impressive jump in durability with a combination of clever hardware features. The outer Ultra Thin Glass layer atop the display is 50% thicker, and there's a newly formulated high-elastic adhesive that binds it to the OLED underneath, which provides 4x the recovery performance. Then there's a new flattening structure that spreads shock evenly across the display, and it all sits on a high-strength titanium plate. All of that's to say that despite being thinner and lighter, the Galaxy Z Fold7 is much more durable than the Fold6. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 Source
