Samsung's new Z Flip 5 is dominating this folding phone challenge
Mrkeybrd has been live streaming its durability comparison test for both folding phones. The two hosts are silently folding the respective phones which have trackers attached to count how many times they’ve been folded. We tuned into theat the 350,000 fold mark for the Samsung Z Flip 5 and the stats on the chalkboard behind the lonely folder show a stark difference between the two phones’ results.
In more practical terms this means the Motorola Razr Plus Ultra hinge would be fine for roughly two years of using the phone an average of 60 times a day, with the screen surviving for five years and nine months. The Samsung Z Flip 5 would instead give you around 10 years of use before the hinge failed.
That said, it’s also worth noting a flaw with Mrkeybrd’s own testing – chiefly that we’re only seeing results from a very, very small sample size. The Motorola Razr Plus Ultra used in the test could be from an exceptionally bad batch and the Samsung Z Flip 5’s could be from an exceptionally good one. Motorola and Samsung’s own tests will benefit from the data likely being collected from a much greater number of devices being tested to their breaking point.
