Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold Put To The Test In New ...
The Galaxy Z TriFold showed hinge damage, pixel tears, and dirt sensitivity, failing bend tests that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 passed, despite Samsung's claim of 200,000 fold durability.
- JerryRigEverything tested the Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold with scratch, fire, dirt and bend trials, where the phone failed as the bottom right hinge snapped under stress.
- As Samsung's first tri-fold, the Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold claims up to 200,000 folds, but tests showed it can withstand upwards of 150,000 folds with increased fragility.
- Audio from the test revealed hinge crunching as the bottom right hinge snapped, pocket sand crept into moving parts, and the pull-tab battery system caused thin batteries to bend.
- The tests suggest immediate consequences for buyers because after the bend test the Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold would be out of commission and repair costs exceed many buyers' limits before early 2026 availability.
- The gap between Samsung's fold-count claim and test results raises questions about Samsung's durability messaging and first-generation tri-fold design issues, as the Galaxy Z Fold 7 handled a similar bend test better.
