Automated testing shows that the Samsung Galaxy Fold fails earlier than expected

04 October 2019
Samsung claims that Galaxy Fold can survive 200,000 folds and estimates that's 5 years of use. A robot put that claim to the test twice.

                    These Samsung jokes out in full force

                      I watched the video, and I'm surprised the phone survived as long as it did... the robot wasn't gentle at all, and it's folding the phone pretty fast...

You don't even know anything about the original test and you say this one is completely faithful to that one, when this test is not even faithful to regular daily usage.

They didn't lie and you are just trying to be hateful or funny which is even worse.

                            Do people realize Samsung has no need to try to push the foldable form factor before anyone else? They could focus on the next Mega AMOLED and make millions since they are probably the biggest screen supplier, instead its trying to make a name for itself and motivate both consumers and other companies to take the next step in mobile technologies.

                                  Flawed test, it was going way too fast , it was generating way to much heat and friction beacause of the speed.

                                    Why is this test deemed flawed by people in the comments when this is basically the very same test Samsung used themselves.
                                    Using the same test under very similar conditions they got a number that's around 40% lower than what Samsung marketed.
                                    It's pure marketing lie and Samsung should be held responsible, end of story.

                                      No, people will not be opening their phone 182 times per day.
