With this foldable design, there is a lot of new things we can do with our phones like taking a selfie with the main camera, using one display to use a full sized keyboard, playing two games together (I have no idea why you might wanna do that) and more.<\/p>\n<p><strong>With great power, comes great responsibilities, and it might not be true in every case.<\/strong> During the unveiling of Samsung Galaxy Fold, Samsung cleverly hid the hinge and it quickly rose to a debate. Besides, there&#8217;s one more question in everyone&#8217;s mind and it&#8217;s about durability. Does Samsung Galaxy Fold can handle extensive folding for the long run, or not?<\/p>\n<p>Keeping that in mind Samsung subjected the Galaxy Fold to several rounds of folding and unfolding in their state-of-the-art reliability labs. This is to make a strong point that the Galaxy Fold is indeed, ready for everything! Here\u2019s the video of this test happening from Samsung.<\/p>\n<h2>Samsung Galaxy Fold Durability Test &#8211; Video<\/h2>\n<p><iframe title=\"The Galaxy Fold\u2019s Folding Test\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/McdgS3Popjk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>To check the durability aspect, the Samsung Galaxy Fold was examined to check if it can outlast 200,000 folds and unfolds, which is around 5 years of usage if used 100 times a day and the test took a full week to complete. While it might seem too extreme for most of the people, as we merely stick to one phone for 5 years, Samsung did it to ensure the durability of the hinged design and Infinity Flex display.<\/p>\n<p>One thing to keep in mind as it was a test under controlled circumstances, the real world scenario can be different, and it is true that whenever a phone has a movable part, the rigidity is surely compromised.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MWC 2019 gave the chance to witness some of the best innovative smartphone design concepts like hole punch&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":1672,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"video","meta":{"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_appearance_grid":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[366,3],"tags":[433,432,431,430,429],"class_list":{"0":"post-1667","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-video","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-samsung","8":"category-smartphones","9":"tag-durability-test","10":"tag-foldable-phone","11":"tag-hinged-design","12":"tag-infinity-flex-display","13":"tag-samsung-galaxy-fold","14":"post_format-post-format-video","15":"cs-entry","16":"cs-video-wrap"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.igadgetsworld.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1667","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.igadgetsworld.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.igadgetsworld.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.igadgetsworld.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.igadgetsworld.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1667"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.igadgetsworld.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1667\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.igadgetsworld.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1672"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.igadgetsworld.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1667"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.igadgetsworld.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1667"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.igadgetsworld.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1667"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
