In a torture test, the Galaxy Z TriFold bent and broke, and its screen died a horrific death. You don&#8217;t need to worry too much about it as that is not how most people use their phones.\n<\/p>\n<p>The Galaxy Z TriFold went through popular YouTuber JerryRigEverything&#8217;s extreme torture test where it faced heat, fire, pressure, scratches, and bends. The pixels on the phone&#8217;s foldable OLED screen and the cover screen burnt after facing heat from a cigarette lighter. Its rear plastic panel got scratched easily. Its metal frame is strong but still can&#8217;t withstand pressure from sharp knives, similar to most other high-end phones.\n<\/p>\n<p>After lots of sand was poured on the hinges and the phone was folded and unfolded multiple times, the hinges started making crunching and grinding sounds. And a quick bend in the wrong direction resulted in the phone just giving up. The pixels teared up and the screen died quickly. The phone&#8217;s Armour Aluminum frame doesn&#8217;t seem as strong as the one on the Galaxy Z Fold 7, as it got bent alongside the phone&#8217;s antenna line due to being extremely thin.\n<\/p>\n<p>Samsung claims that the Galaxy Z TriFold is strong and it tested the device vigorously based on common everyday usage. The company says it can withstand 200,000 folds and unfolds, and in a recent third-party test, the Galaxy Z TriFold <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/galaxy-z-trifold-torture-test-fold-unfold\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">withstood up to 144,000 folds and unfolds<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<p>Since JerryRigEverything&#8217;s torture test is extreme, and people don&#8217;t usually use their phones that extremely, but it is seems that Samsung&#8217;s first tri-folding phone isn&#8217;t as strong as the Galaxy Z Fold 7, as that phone was able to withstand torture in a much better way, and its frame didn&#8217;t bend, and the phone didn&#8217;t bend backwards.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<a class=\"google-preferred-news-source-cta-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/add-sammobile-as-a-preferred-source-on-google-to-always-get-the-latest-news\/\" style=\"display: inline-block;\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" id=\"google-preferred-badge\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark.png\" alt=\"Google Preferred News Source\" style=\"max-width: 50%; height: auto;\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Samsung&#8217;s first tri-folding phone isn&#8217;t as durable as its seventh-generation bi-folding phone, the Galaxy Z Fold 7.
