Galaxy Z Fold7 sets new record with 500,000 folds without failing

Samsung has once again pushed the boundaries of foldable smartphone engineering with its latest Galaxy Z Fold7. According to an official announcement made on July 21, the device successfully completed a rigorous folding test, proving its resilience through 500,000 folds — more than double the previous benchmark of 200,000 folds. The independent durability test was carried out by globally recognized certification company Bureau Veritas. After half a million folds, the foldable panel retained full function…

Revolutionary folding architecture inspired by bulletproof glass

The most significant leap in durability for the Galaxy Z Fold7 stems from its panel redesign, which mimics the principles of bulletproof glass. This approach involves layering materials to absorb and disperse impact more effectively. Samsung Display introduced a strengthened Ultra Thin Glass (UTG) that is now 50% thicker than previous generations.

In addition to hardware improvements, a new high-elasticity adhesive has been applied between layers. This new material offers more than four times the recovery performance compared to previous adhesives, allowing the foldable screen to better withstand mechanical stress and shock.

Lightweight titanium adds extra support

Another factor contributing to the Galaxy Z Fold7’s robust performance is the inclusion of a lightweight titanium support plate, designed to provide structural stability while keeping the device light. The overall design helps distribute impact forces across the fold line more evenly, minimizing wear over time.

These structural innovations allow users to enjoy the benefits of a foldable device without compromising on longevity. With these enhancements, Galaxy Z Fold7 stands as the most durable foldable phone Samsung has ever produced.
