I was waiting for him to post this. I didn't think this phone would withstand all that pressure just from my daily use of it but it did surprisingly decent... just dont bend it the other way lol

Just an utter, abject failure of a device. How did they learn so little from four generations of Samsung foldables?

I mean to be fair, it's not like this is a normal way to handle a device lol. Even if it was more durable, thats not the only way to judge a device

Other foldables (and phones) handled the bend test fine.

I just don’t personally see a real world scenario where whatever happened would have the strength or even be able to bend it past 180 degrees due to the fact that well…. Any flat surface or a couch wouldn’t go past 180 or a couch maybe a bit more but that wouldn’t break it.

I think the only scenario would be to lay it open into a backpack between other stuff. But im sure, other phones could bend then too. I also think a human bend test is not reliable, because its very hard to measure the force you need to bend it. Maybe not everyone has this power in his hand as Jerry 😂

I know but it's such a novel test. Like in the almost 15 years I've have Smart phones, let alone the 20+ I've had dumb phones, I never bent my phone in anyway.

If I had to choose between a product with better software and camera capabilities, then one that just doesn't bend as much, I would probably choose the software and camera one 99 times out of 100
