As it turns out, the Z Fold 4 is nowhere near as fragile as one may have anticipated back when the deeply flawed original Galaxy Fold saw daylight in 2019, which however shouldn’t come as a surprise for folks familiar with last year’s rigorous Z Fold 3 durability inspection.
After all, there’s a reason why the world’s largest smartphone manufacturer is boldly advertising this bad boy as “unbreakable”, although we can definitely think of a few ways to break the Z Fold 4 with relative ease following Nelson’s latest… eccentric tests.
For instance, the 7.6-inch foldable screen remains highly vulnerable to everyday scratching, while exposing either said main display or the 6.2-inch cover screen to open flames is still… unbelievably dumb.
Of course, that means long-term damage might prove to be a problem… for residents of the fictional desert planet Arrakis from the Dune novels, so that’s probably one aspect you need to handle with (relative) care.
