The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 may be one of the latest foldable Android phones on the market, but whatever improvements it does offer haven’t made the device any more durable than its its predecessor.
That’s what YouTuber JerryRigEverything found at any rate in his Galaxy Z Fold 4 durability testing(opens in new tab). While the Galaxy Z Fold 4 stood up well to the various torture tests featured in the video — indeed, the YouTuber remarks how impressed he is with Samsung’s design — the end result was about the same as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 test last year. That is definitely disappointing to hear given that Samsung claims the main screen is 45% stronger on the Fold 4 than the Galaxy Z Fold 3.
After watching JerryRigEverything’s Galaxy Z Fold 4 testing, you emerge with two key takeaways. First, the phone’s ability to handle dust is impressive, as the Galaxy Z Fold 4 shows no issue with dust entering the hinges. The fingerprint reader also still worked despite being incredibly dusty.
