Please look closely at the test before spreading fud!!

1. The test machine is mechanically faulty, not letting the bottom slide properly.

2. The HINGE  broke! For top three machine.

3. They flexed it in rapid sucession, so it's amazing it shrld up this well.

Please please don't become one of these crappy clickbait sites that doesn't investigate at all.

Hey there, Aaps.
Yeah, I agree that the methodology of the test was flawed. I may have jumped the gun on this.

That said, the Galaxy Fold did get to 120k folds, and that has to count for something.

Entirely possible that this hinge design is more fragile, it's more complex to make the device fold thinner so more failure points, also the longer and narrower shape would mean more torsion at the hinge, which always tends to break hinges, though the latter would also stand for the upcoming Z Flip.
