The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 has defeated the Motorola Razr Plus by outlasting it in a human folding test. Here are the results.

In Youtuber’s hand-folding test (live stream), the Razr Plus broke after 126,364 folds (hinge gave up after ~44k folds) while the Z Flip survived 273,316 folds (but lost ability to stay fully open after 223,000 folds) and is still going right now in the live stream.

    That is pretty intersting. If I had a fold I wonder how many times I’d open it daily. I would definitely flip it open and closed repeatedly throughout the day just to pass the time even when not intending to look at the screen.

      Yep in a subsequent video he does address that, basically the 44k folds (ie the point at which the hinge broke) for the Razr Plus correspond to ~2 years if you assume that you open & close it 60 times a day, over a 1 year if it’s 90-100 times a day.
