After around 223,000 folds, the phone developed a fault in its hinge, and the phone could then be seen opening of its own accord. All was going well until the 400,000 mark, when it was submerged in water and covered in flour and eggs.

“This live stream is not sponsored or influenced by Samsung and Motorola,” the video description reads. And it is that, in the same transmission, the youtuber tested the Motorola Razr Plus model with a folding screen, but it only lasted 126,266 cycles.

According to the report, with all the movements, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 may be able to survive 400,000 folds, which would mean that the phone should last more than 10 years of use if you unfold and fold it around 100 times a day. The case of Motorola would be a few years less.
