How many folds does it take to break the Galaxy Z TriFold? These YouTubers

[phillynews215]

TL;DR

• A Korean YouTube channel has put the Galaxy Z TriFold through an ultimate test by folding and unfolding it over 150,000 times.
• After eight days of frequent livestreaming, the Galaxy Z TriFold’s hinge appears to have lost its rigidity.
• The inner display, however, continues to work even after 160,000 folds.

It’s been over a week since a group of Korean YouTubers set out on a mission to put the recently launched Galaxy Z TriFold through a relentless stress test. Over the past seven days, the group has been livestreaming while folding the two hinges on the TriFold to test their durability.

Yesterday was Day 8, and the group put out another three-plus hours of livestream, continuing the tiring endeavor of folding and unfolding the phone repeatedly. And while my nonextant grasp of the Korean language prevents me from understanding the banter, watching them go on is definitely satisfying. As in previous videos, they have also noted key moments, such as the onset of creaking noises from the hinge.
