Watch the Galaxy Z Flip 6 get put through the wringer in this durability test

JerryRigEverything, a YouTuber well-known for his durability tests and teardowns, has set his eyes on Samsung’s latest flip-style foldable. In this new video, the man proceeds to do what he does best and begins putting the Flip 6 through its paces.

Right after taking the Flip 6 out of its box, he opens the phone and compares it to the Flip 5. What’s notable here is that the crease in the folding display on the Flip 6 has been greatly decreased. He also points out a few differences between the phones such as the extra earpiece slit and the boxier design of the Flip 6.

In addition to scratching, the YouTuber puts the Flip 6’s inner screen up to a flame, tests the dust resistance with dirt, and tries to bend the device backward to see if it would break. It appears the folding panel lasts 14 seconds before noticeable damage is caused by the flame. Meanwhile, thanks to the seals and tight construction of the hinge, the handset passes the dirt test with only a subtle scraping noise. When bent backward, the phone was able to lock up, preventing it from breaking.

Later on in the video, he begins tearing the phone down so we can see the insides. A couple of notable discoveries here are that Samsung included battery pull tabs for better repairability and recyclability and that the hinge is missing the bristle-cleaning system from previous generations.

Overall, the durability of the Flip 6 appears to be about the same as the Flip 5.
