A press release from Samsung Display<\/a> claims the Z Fold 7<\/a> is much more durable than the Z Fold 6<\/a>, with more than double the average lifespan.<\/p>\n

The press release claims that in a test conducted by Bureau Veritas, a global testing, inspection, and certification company, the Z Fold 7 survived 500,000 folds over 13 days at room temperature. For somebody who, on average, folds their phone 100 times a day, those 500,000 folds translate to at least 10 years of use on the Z Fold 7. More active owners who fold their devices closer to 200 times a day are likely to still get at least six years of use out of the Z Fold 7.<\/p>\n

In comparison, the Z Fold 6 was tested to survive a minimum of 200,000 folds, which means it has an average lifespan of 5 years, lower for more active owners.<\/p>\n

Early reviews of the device have echoed similar conclusions, like FlashingDroid <\/a>stating that the hinge on the Fold 7, although thinner and lighter, seems just as strong and sturdy as the hinge from the Fold 6 and CNET <\/a>sources Samsung as saying the hinge was made with an aluminum design, which made it 10 per cent stronger despite being lighter and thinner.<\/p>\n

Samsung claims its new titanium frame and shock-resistant structure are among the many reasons the Fold 7 is much more durable.<\/p>\n

These improvements made for the Z Fold 7 are Samsung\u2019s way of addressing the durability concerns surrounding folding screens and devices. They offer users much more confidence about the Fold 7\u2019s lifespan.<\/p>\n
