The popular smartphone tester Zack Nelson has shared a long-awaited video on his JerryRigEverything YouTube channel in which the strength of the latest flagship Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 smartphone was tested.

The first Galaxy Fold could be damaged quite easily, not only due to its flexible screen, but also because of the hinge mechanism, which can easily get into dust and small debris. Samsung has done a lot of fixings, with Zach Nelson confirming that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 has a much better design.

Samsung Z Fold2 Durability Test

The external 6.2-inch display is protected by glass, which corresponds to 6 points on the Mohs scale. The flexible 7.6-inch screen is covered with a protective film, on which you can even leave scratches with a fingernail, but when folded, the screen is protected by a body.

Zach Nelson poured small stones with sand on the main screen and closed and opened his smartphone several times. An improved hinge prevents debris from getting inside the case, so the smartphone can easily survive a fall in the sand.

The side-mounted fingerprint scanner has become unusable after a few scratches; and the device also performed well in the famous bending test. The YouTuber praised Samsung for its excellent durability.
