Teardown of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8: what engineering secrets are hidden inside the foldable smartphone?

Samsung's brand-new foldable smartphone goes under the knife of the famous YouTube channel JerryRigEverything. A chance to discover the innards, the new materials, and the precision mechanics that make up the Galaxy Z Fold 8.

Thanks to these YouTubers who have a lot of time and money, you can admire the dismantling of expensive electronic gadgets, to learn the secrets hidden inside their premium chassis.

 

Disassembly of the Galaxy Z Fold 8: titanium and peeled screen 

After torturing the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Zack from the YouTube channel JerryRigEverything finishes the job by methodically taking apart Samsung's brand-new foldable-screen smartphone. Well, methodically, so to speak, because the process will still shock the most sensitive souls. It all starts with the foldable screen, which is difficult to remove because of its resistance to water and dust. The latter is then peeled layer by layer, including a titanium plate passed over the blowtorch to prove its authenticity (yes, it is indeed titanium).

 

Silicone-carbon battery and modular hinge 

It can also be seen that one of the two batteries uses a new material, the silicone-carbon alloy. We also discover, if you did not already know, tiny beads inside the speakers, allowing the sound to bounce and thus amplify itself despite the very small size of this component, due to the thinness of the device.

The video ends with this incredible modular hinge between the two halves of the smartphone, further proof of Samsung's engineering quality.
