Title: Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 5 Outperforms Motorola’s Razr Plus in Durability Test
Subtitle: YouTuber Mrkeybrd confirms Samsung’s foldable flip phone can last over 10 years with 100 folds per day
In a recent livestream event, popular YouTuber Mrkeybrd put Samsung’s latest foldable flip phone, the Galaxy Z Flip 5, to the ultimate durability test. By continuously folding and unfolding the phone, Mrkeybrd aimed to simulate real-world stresses and variations.
The livestream showcased the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5’s remarkable durability as it survived an impressive 401,146 cycles of folding and unfolding. In contrast, its competitor, the Motorola Razr Plus, succumbed after a relatively meager 126,266 cycles.
While Samsung’s foldable phone proved to be more durable than its counterpart, it did develop a hinge fault at approximately 223,000 folds. However, even with the fault, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 remained fully functional until it reached its limit at 400,000 folds. This impressive performance indicates that with 100 folds per day, the phone could potentially last over 10 years, catering to the needs of even the most demanding users.
As part of the durability test, both phones were subjected to additional challenges. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 was submerged in water and coated in flour and eggs. Although the phone was protected against water due to its IPX8 rating, it was not protected against dust. Despite this, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 persevered through the test, displaying its resilience.
The durability test conducted by Mrkeybrd provides valuable insights for consumers looking to invest in a reliable and long-lasting smartphone. Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 5 demonstrated superior durability, outperforming the Motorola Razr Plus by a significant margin.
With smartphone users increasingly seeking devices that can withstand daily wear and tear, the Galaxy Z Flip 5’s endurance sets it apart in the competitive market. Samsung’s commitment to ensuring the longevity of their foldable flip phone suggests a step forward in the development of more durable and reliable devices.
As we look to the future, Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 5 unfolding onto the scene heralds a new era of resilient, foldable smartphones. It is evident that Samsung’s device has proven to be more durable than its competition and will likely redefine consumer expectations when it comes to smartphone durability.
