Tortured, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 admits nothing

Smartphones with foldable screens may seem fragile, but after several successive generations, Samsung no longer fears (almost) nothing.

Sensitive souls refrain. The video below shows a brand new Galaxy Z Flip 5 undergoing the worst torture, in the name of science.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5, the ultimate test from the JerryRigEverything YouTube channel

The YouTube channel JerryRigEverything specializes in testing the strength of electronic gadgets, to verify manufacturers' claims regarding the robustness of their devices. And after the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 last year, it's the turn of the Galaxy Z Flip 5 to go on the torture table.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5, impossible to fold it the wrong way!!! !

Samsung's flip smartphone thus takes blows from a cutter, unnatural bends and even flames on the screen. Bottom line: the device is not immortal but still holds up surprisingly well on certain points. For example, it is impossible to break it by trying to force the fold in the wrong direction, and it continues to work even after an attempt to introduce fine particles.

However, the screens do not resist strong cutter blows, although the external screen remains more durable. Normally, it is covered with Gorilla Glass Victus 2, while the internal model is only Ultra-Thin Glass, folding requires. Same for the lighter flame, which damages the screens after just a few seconds.
