It's much stronger than I expected. Dirt-closing test gave me a little anxiety but I was surprised the softer foldable screen survived it in really good condition. Second time was bend test. It's promising that foldable screen survived pressing by fingers and streching by forced bending. It says a lot about it's potential behaviour in much less extreme conditions like normal, calm, everyday use.
Can't wait for bendable glass on the 4th iteration. Probably corning has to think outside the box and structure the glass to be bonded like a chainmail
I have this phone rn and love it. I love how it can fold in a laptop fashion for pictures or viewing from afar, durable and that wide screen is chefs kiss. Love my tone/phablet 😁
Tbh the fingernail leaving marks on the screen is a way bigger test failure than anything else. Wouldn't get a phone that got permanent marks in the screen like that even if it's more durable in other ways.

If youre one of the people that get a phone just to call people, and like basic stuff, then dont buy this. As well as if youre very picky and need everything perfect.

The reels are cut off because instagram doesnt have the right dimensions, but every other app works perfectly, and the rest of insta works great, just the reels are weird but you can just open it for that, especially when using for entertainment. Thats it though. I got it refurbished for $1400, and am absolutely LOVING it! Get a warrenty though! It makes you feel a lot better about the crease.

I've had my fold 2 for 15 months and it's still as awesome as the day I got it. Could never go back now. Admittedly I have a note 9 for trips to the beach, camping, wet weather adventures but I don't use it often
I’ve never really understood the point of the burn test, even if I do sort of look forward to it, but I would like to see a submersion test, seeing as most phones are opting for waterproofing.
That must be a different country thing. I see so many comments about how phones are so expensive. I agree, if you buy them out right. I don't know of anyone who does that. Even when I worked at Best Buy, customers upgrade phones with their plans and just make payments. Very affordable that way.
@@TheDarkguide That sucks. It kind of mimics that here. I think some carriers allow you to go the leasing route where you're just upgrading every other year. But with the trade in option from most carriers, we're all kind of doing that anyways.
@@TheDarkguide found out 8 hours later that you were 8 hours late making a comment on a vid, that i made a comment on, 8 hours after posting. not bad LOL
I decided to bite the bullet and buy one of these, I got it today, and just ran across your video while playing with it. It's VERY nice to see how well it stands up to your testing. You normally destroy phones in this test, and this is a folding phone. I'm impressed!
I'm not sure I see myself ever getting a Z Fold. That said, a Z Flip actually seems really nice, and I would consider getting one in the future when I can afford it. Hopefully they'll have improved the technology by then, too, but it seems they're getting it down pretty well with this third generation.
I've had the Z Flip for a week and a half now,and i love it! Pros: its really fun and a weird flex but okey. camera good also,mediocre.Feels heavy and premium . cons: battery life ( i knew that beforehand), some weird screen ratio for some apps. It's not the best phone for many,but if you are looking for something new,and stand out a bit,its really fun.
@@larrschrlo I'm getting mine next month and I cant wait, i wanted to know what the durability is like? I've dropped my note 9 once in the 3 years I've had it, and it must've been from about a 3ft height. Would the flip 3 survive that lol, I would obviously get a case on it aswell

fold still kinda "test version" or "experimental" even if its the third generation, a safer choice if you really want a foldable smartphone is the Z flip 3
@@ridakesserwan8712 it is 6 and 7 on the front screen which is gorilla glass, did you even watch the video? 2 and 3 was the inside screen which is made of plastic.
I think Samsung might have played their cards rightly by having that inner camera under display. It won't interrupt the massive screen inside and people who want a better quality can either use the outer selfie camera or even the full fledged main setup, having the outer display as the viewfinder.
It actually makes so much sense to me, like on zoom etc who cares if it's not outstanding quality, it'll look the same after compression anyways. Actually a really smart choice as you'd use the other cameras snapping selfies anyways, but having that camera during calls will be sufficient imp
you and 88 people here doesnt know what is armor aluminum, samsung speaking about armor aluminum because means strong material stronger than regular aluminum on the phones simply similar to stainless steel on iphones but lighter, not scratch resistance tctc people these days even doesnt know a lot of things but still talkin sceptical words everywhere
Rather than dropping a pile of dirt onto the phone, I'd prefer that the phone be dropped into dirt, to see if the impact forces any particles into the hinge
He is trying to see if the phone is enough resistant to water and dust, because since it has 2 screens its not fully resistant to them like a regular s21ultra lets say for example
A phone that has a hinge and a folding screen: *Survives the bend test* Thick, slab shaped gaming phones, and also iPads that are both solid pieces of hardware: *Snap when the littlest of force is applied*
My ipad pro has bent ever so slightly so the frame has a very small crease. I kept it in a case and a screen protector, but when your grandma sits on it, it doesn't last.
7:20 I wonder what would have happened if you dropped the dirt from the other side of the phone on the hinge and unfold it. Imagining dropping it into the sand while taking it out from the pocket while it was closed. Also, if it started making cracking noises at the hinge can we rinse it off with some water.

Fantastic video. One question though: why do you not test dumping dust into the other side of the hinge? That's the part that I would be worried about, getting dust into the outer hinge and into the internals.
When he did this same thing with the first Fold it failed horribly. This is a good sign. Worst case, just submerge it in water and open and close it a few times
If anyone wanna test oleophobic coating, just buy a cheap smartphone tempered glass vs expensive one, You will see the difference. No fingerprints and water repellant,
@@hdwblade I saw in a Korean youtuber reviewing the Fold and he stated that folding the phone inside the water can't really ensure that it won't go in cuz IP ratings shouldn't be used for underwater usage of the phone itself. IP ratings are given after a test in a lab on standby mode.

I bought my galaxy z fold 3 which I currently use, for 1,186$, not bad considering they are currently 1599 to 1899. I will say a reason it was so cheap was because there was light scratches on the front screen, and watching this video and seeing the front has a pre built screen protector that CAN come off, which I was told it couldn't, I got it off with just my fingers in 3 seconds and those scratches are all gone. So, thanks. Good video either way, I do believe this phone is built pretty well and durable, and this video does a good showcase of that. Especially considering draginf a knife and using a lighter is not something I plan on doing, but either way I have the s pen case for it. Although I'm pleased to know that when I draw with it, I'm not going to actually damage the screen, because I also thought the spring was pretty tough since it's supposed to help from pressing to hard.
Hey, one year later! Phone still works like new. However, I will the plastic screen protector on the inside folding screen, is removable if you do it gently. Which I did, after mine started comming off in the middle, and was gathering dust like crazy. I now have a new one there, since I use the s pen alot, but it is nice knowing, for about 20 bucks, you can replace any accidental scratches you make on the inside screen with fingernails or what not. Other than that, 3 years later, still 0 complaints of the phone. Fold 3 holds strong
I genuinely think phone manufacturers uses jerry's sop to develop test cases, to specifically ensure a new phone release passes jerry's specific abuse scenarios
I thought these phones were a fad, but seeing one hold up to one of these durability tests changes my view completely. They are getting as strong as regular phones!
Yes Samsung has put a lot of effort into its build for sure , however , apparently the actual main glass display layer is the same as the earlier model , but with a different type of plastic on top of it , and iirc mr mobiles fold lasted 7 months before the display split down the crease , so it remains to be seen how the displays will hold up over time. It’s still hard to beat a conventional glass screen IMO.
agreed this was a brutal durability test... feel confident when i get it will not have trouble with a case on keeping it safe..no beach phone for sure but few are
as someone that lives in a state that gets real cold in the winter. i would like to see what happens if you drop the temp of the phone down to 32 degrees Fahrenheit (or lower)! the performance of the folding screen during the winter is what is holding me back from purchasing folding phones.
Samsung watching this be like: This guy again. First he destroyed our first folding phone, now our second, and now our this. Galaxy Fold 4 coming soon.
Me: Gets a new phone Jerry: also gets a new phone Me: now I will take care of it for atleast 3 years Jerry: oh just got it so let's see how strong it is even though it's so expensive
Watching the part where Jerry was trying to snap the Fold 3 in the opposite direction while open made me stop breathing. When it passed his test I was able to breathe again. (Stares at my Z Fold 3) Nah I ain't doing that. 🤣
@@user-ty5xy6cs9d I actually traded my Fold 2 for Fold 3 so I have been using a Fold since Fold 2 was released. Generally I am very pleased with Fold 2 and so far Fold 3 feels better than Fold 2. I had replace the inner screen protector of Fold 2 after first week and after ten months of daily use there is no significant scratch or deformity on the screen. Although I keep my fingernail short I do play games on my Fold quite regularly. So Folds are not as fragile as many thinks. But ultimately it depends on how you use your phone. Normally I'd only use the inner screen when I am doing something that's more convenient with larger screen like watching video, reading news or books, using map or some office apps, emails etc. For my lifestyle having a pocketable tablet is more useful than a durable phone.
I've got a Z Fold 3 myself and it's great to see this video and know that maybe I don't need to be as gentle as I have been. On mine, I don't know how it happened but I did manage to get a small scratch on one of the rear camera glass lenses and metal bezel around it
Little Sand pieces in your pocket can cause that. I have never been too careful with my z fold 2 and same with my fold 3 now. Only thing I was worried about with the fold 2 was water which luckily got fixed
@@steadfastgamer Don't use your fingernails? Maybe your case usage with phones is to dig into your screen as much as possible, but most people I know don't try to drill their fingernails into their phones. On the flip side, I would definitely not recommend the phone to people who intentionally keep longer than usual fingernails.
watched on my Z Fold 3....... was worried if it was going to survive... i was one of the lucky people that for some reason Samsung shipped before the release date....
I pre-ordered the fold 3. Screen real-estate alone with my corporate IT job was enough to overcome durability concerns. I have spent 24 hours with it and am mostly sold. I was so anxious and terrified fir this video to come out. Glad it mostly survived! Thanks Zach for all the great content, and thanks Cambry fir supporting the super need we admire. Can't wait for the next ev hummer video.
Revisiting after samsung revealed the Fold and Flip 4. And I can't wait for Jerry to get his hands on those bad boys! Tho I would like if you do a drop test. Because we all drop our phones on the daily sometimes. And since I live in Canada 🇨🇦 where it's cold most of the year, I do wonder if the flexible screen can handle spending a day outside
I could just picture Samsung engineers huddled around a monitor watching your Durability Test and sighing with relief when their phone survives. Pretty sure one would shout out "In your face Jerry!" :D

Came here to comment that and found out I'm 8 hours late 😥
That must be a different country thing. I see so many comments about how phones are so expensive. I agree, if you buy them out right. I don't know of anyone who does that. Even when I worked at Best Buy, customers upgrade phones with their plans and just make payments. Very affordable that way.
@@Titansfan81 Yeah obviously we don't have that kind of options. We can just buy them outright or lease them from the shop through bank with interest.
@@TheDarkguide That sucks. It kind of mimics that here. I think some carriers allow you to go the leasing route where you're just upgrading every other year. But with the trade in option from most carriers, we're all kind of doing that anyways.
@@TheDarkguide found out 8 hours later that you were 8 hours late making a comment on a vid, that i made a comment on, 8 hours after posting. not bad LOL
All the companies are working hard to make their products more durable. And you are one of the reasons. Thanks for the review 🙏.
I decided to bite the bullet and buy one of these, I got it today, and just ran across your video while playing with it. It's VERY nice to see how well it stands up to your testing. You normally destroy phones in this test, and this is a folding phone. I'm impressed!
how much did you pay for it?

I'm not sure I see myself ever getting a Z Fold. That said, a Z Flip actually seems really nice, and I would consider getting one in the future when I can afford it. Hopefully they'll have improved the technology by then, too, but it seems they're getting it down pretty well with this third generation.
I've had the Z Flip for a week and a half now,and i love it! Pros: its really fun and a weird flex but okey. camera good also,mediocre.Feels heavy and premium . cons: battery life ( i knew that beforehand), some weird screen ratio for some apps. It's not the best phone for many,but if you are looking for something new,and stand out a bit,its really fun.
@@larrschrlo I'm getting mine next month and I cant wait, i wanted to know what the durability is like? I've dropped my note 9 once in the 3 years I've had it, and it must've been from about a 3ft height. Would the flip 3 survive that lol, I would obviously get a case on it aswell
Took Z Fold3 and sold my S21 Ultra, feel really satisfied with 7,6" inner display, deeper stereo sound and awesome selfies on main camera. Also S Pen support and IPX8 that I waited in Z Fold's since the first generation.
The Z Flip is cool, but has no actual useful benefits over a normal phone. The Z Fold actually gives something a regular phone can’t do.
fold still kinda "test version" or "experimental" even if its the third generation, a safer choice if you really want a foldable smartphone is the Z flip 3

I got mine without watching this first. Now that I have watched this, I am happy.
I think Samsung might have played their cards rightly by having that inner camera under display. It won't interrupt the massive screen inside and people who want a better quality can either use the outer selfie camera or even the full fledged main setup, having the outer display as the viewfinder.
It actually makes so much sense to me, like on zoom etc who cares if it's not outstanding quality, it'll look the same after compression anyways. Actually a really smart choice as you'd use the other cameras snapping selfies anyways, but having that camera during calls will be sufficient imp
The inner camera is the right one for video conference

Rather than dropping a pile of dirt onto the phone, I'd prefer that the phone be dropped into dirt, to see if the impact forces any particles into the hinge
Logical
He is trying to see if the phone is enough resistant to water and dust, because since it has 2 screens its not fully resistant to them like a regular s21ultra lets say for example
Exactly, you usually drop the phone on dirt, not the other way around.
A phone that has a hinge and a folding screen:
*Survives the bend test*
Thick, slab shaped gaming phones, and also iPads that are both solid pieces of hardware:
*Snap when the littlest of force is applied*
Dont forget apple Iphone 6 😂

@@sonnygower8242 it is good to start somewhere, right? I do not expect that Samsung stops producing tech products any time soon solely to save the planet. However, they can improve how they produce and sell these products. That is also a win.
Fantastic video. One question though: why do you not test dumping dust into the other side of the hinge? That's the part that I would be worried about, getting dust into the outer hinge and into the internals.
When he did this same thing with the first Fold it failed horribly. This is a good sign. Worst case, just submerge it in water and open and close it a few times
If anyone wanna test oleophobic coating, just buy a cheap smartphone tempered glass vs expensive one, You will see the difference. No fingerprints and water repellant,
Yeah mostly phone will fall down from the back side (the hinge). . Right?

FUT fkv
Good to know that the Fold 3 is now JerryRigEverything certified durable.
I was waiting all day. Expecting the Flip 3 one, I am in love with the Flip line-up
I bought my galaxy z fold 3 which I currently use, for 1,186$, not bad considering they are currently 1599 to 1899. I will say a reason it was so cheap was because there was light scratches on the front screen, and watching this video and seeing the front has a pre built screen protector that CAN come off, which I was told it couldn't, I got it off with just my fingers in 3 seconds and those scratches are all gone. So, thanks. Good video either way, I do believe this phone is built pretty well and durable, and this video does a good showcase of that. Especially considering draginf a knife and using a lighter is not something I plan on doing, but either way I have the s pen case for it. Although I'm pleased to know that when I draw with it, I'm not going to actually damage the screen, because I also thought the spring was pretty tough since it's supposed to help from pressing to hard.
Hey, one year later! Phone still works like new. However, I will the plastic screen protector on the inside folding screen, is removable if you do it gently. Which I did, after mine started comming off in the middle, and was gathering dust like crazy. I now have a new one there, since I use the s pen alot, but it is nice knowing, for about 20 bucks, you can replace any accidental scratches you make on the inside screen with fingernails or what not. Other than that, 3 years later, still 0 complaints of the phone. Fold 3 holds strong
I genuinely think phone manufacturers uses jerry's sop to develop test cases, to specifically ensure a new phone release passes jerry's specific abuse scenarios
The fact that he picked out the phone with a blade....🥲
I thought these phones were a fad, but seeing one hold up to one of these durability tests changes my view completely. They are getting as strong as regular phones!
Still though, I guess after just a couple of weeks I guess the screen would be, at the very least, filled with grooves.
Yes Samsung has put a lot of effort into its build for sure , however , apparently the actual main glass display layer is the same as the earlier model , but with a different type of plastic on top of it , and iirc mr mobiles fold lasted 7 months before the display split down the crease , so it remains to be seen how the displays will hold up over time.
It’s still hard to beat a conventional glass screen IMO.

@@user-ty5xy6cs9d I actually traded my Fold 2 for Fold 3 so I have been using a Fold since Fold 2 was released. Generally I am very pleased with Fold 2 and so far Fold 3 feels better than Fold 2. I had replace the inner screen protector of Fold 2 after first week and after ten months of daily use there is no significant scratch or deformity on the screen. Although I keep my fingernail short I do play games on my Fold quite regularly. So Folds are not as fragile as many thinks. But ultimately it depends on how you use your phone. Normally I'd only use the inner screen when I am doing something that's more convenient with larger screen like watching video, reading news or books, using map or some office apps, emails etc. For my lifestyle having a pocketable tablet is more useful than a durable phone.
