Idk if Guinness should give Samsung an award for making a foldable that could survive a teardown or give Jerry the award for successfully putting it back together
Both
No! Fuck samsung
Both, as the guy above me said
I bought this phone because of what i saw in your teardown and durability test. You made it an easy choice, thank you JRE!
it's a bad ass phone. battery life is incredible. can't really complain... yet. my Z Flip 3 lasted a year and some change before the screen gave up on me.
*We witness Zach make history by not killing a foldable phone after the teardown!*
Yeah
Cheated though, as the batteries weren't removed.
Well thats samsung for ya...
Lol
It’s Samsung no one wants to remove them
Those stickers you removed are not for waterproofing like you said, the holes there were made to mount the parts easier on to the phones chassis. Kind of like hanging a price of metal and painting the whole thing without actually touching it and leaving a trace of where it's been touched. The holes make assembly easier for Samsung and the stickers are just there to make it look a little bit nicer but still removable if need be
@@rajasaif9999 that's what I did I corrected as he said he'd like to know so I told him. I was not aggressive or demeaning so I don't know what you're talking about
Ok
Warranty stickers 🙂
@@rajasaif9999 people like you spread hate and disrespect everywhere
@@rajasaif9999 Bro, I know English isn't your first language, but chill out. It is not that serious. 🗿
8:59 you can see top metal slit in the system is snapped. It's most likely what made the pop and blocks the hinge from closing fully, there might be more damage along the hinge but i couldn't tell for sure.
Straight what I thought, too :)
I think your right had to watch it a few times
Great teardown. It seems more relaxing to watch knowing the goal isn't to repair but to see the guts of the device.
SAVAGE...:-)
I mean that's what a tear down is.
You sound like one who love autopsies... Like I bet Zack sure does 😁
Rip iFixit
Incredibly impressed that you can just tear the screen off like that, reattach it later and everything's just fine. It's actually more durable than it looks.
6:00 those black circular spots at the sides. And at the part where the phone bends. So when the phone bends multiple times, it can create air inside, so to remove air getting into the screen or in some unnecessary parts. That sticker might help.
This is my theory.
Anyone love watching these kinda videos whilst eating a bowl of food?
Now im hungry
While taking a shit...

Teardown videos are way more satisfying than durability tests, you can add waterproofness test into your videos
Almost all IP68 phones would survive within the standard claims
Most phones have an official IP rating so testing them yourself is redundant
@@MasterKey2004 *IP
@@ShippoHsu no but after durability test it would be interesting to see if it survives or not
There is no terrible scratching noise, so obviously it is more satisfying xD
"What, too soon?" Is my new favorite catchphrase
It's good to see their folding phones maturing this way, maybe they will be flawless in a couple of generations. Greetings from Mexico.
I really hope to see them become disposable , foldable screens are great replacements for paper.
I have one, and it's kinda cool to have a phone that survived the Jerry rig sand test 🤣
@@sodanakin wouldn't you want a permanent folding screen rather than making it disposable??? That would just create more waste and it'd be expensive to just keep buying screens 🤣
@@Aurumfae I think, as long as they’re easily recyclable, they could become something akin to a paper replacement. First, though, they need to make it more durable.
@@nameless-user you're completely removing the best points of a display. using them as an equivalent for a single use disposable item like paper absolutely decimates the merits of it.
I love smartphone teardowns! It's pretty interesting seeing all those advanced technology inside the devices we use everyday. I was even more excited for the Z flip 4 video! You rock Zack 💪🏽
its crazy but very interesting to see how such phone is build.
thanks for the full tear down and tests on the flip 4 i got one myself a week ago and loving it
When Jerry said “It’s Riggin time!” it truly was everything.
What's good if a foldable can't be folded both ways. 0/10 😂
Lol
I love these videos, makes me really happy and it's super awesome seeing all this cool technology. Thanks
Jerry Risk Everything 😂
bruh those "too soon" jokes were actually so weirdly funny hahah, this guy has the greatest and weirdest delivery ever with his unique voice
5:58 they are to ensure to not let you do service of your phone outside samsung service centre(while in warranty)
laptops have similar stickers for it but on screws to ensure that it has not been tampered by anyone while in warranty
I bet the first thing Zack did when he finished the video was run to Cambry and go like "Look honey, I did it! The fold survived the teardown!"
It always makes me smile when he forgets the simcard tray. It makes me feel better about forgetting a step in something I do all the time.
super impressive teardown-skills you have. solid 9/10
Nice to see that this phone is at least possibly repairable without much need for expensive proprietary tooling. Gives me confidence in this phone as I just got it a couple of weeks ago. That pop is still a little concerning though...
I doubt there's a third party repair shop that would dare touch this thing with a ten foot pole. God knows I wouldn't.
Lmfao I wouldn’t wanna get anywhere near that screen.
prob. is one of the metal channels that bent and is bumping with the other parts, causing not a correct way to close enough
@@-Jester Refurbished Samsung original screens come with the plastic bumper installed, it's very easy to repair.
A friend of mine owns his own repair shop and I was there when he repair the Z flip 5G (first one with SD865+
'easily repairable', one of the first things to die is the battery. Jerry didn't even bother (which is a first).
Awsome dude i really love your durability test, keep it up👍👍👍
Next time you test a foldable, you should do a "squish" test to see if, for example, I have the phone in my pocket and lay on the floor if it'll damage the hinge or screen from weight being applied to both side.
YES PLEASE🙏
One of the supercool and engaging videos. Thanks Jerry For this video.
So smooth 🔥🔥🔥 in words and teardown this time around for the flip 4 🙏
Id like to see a scratch test of the layer under the protective plastic, im curious if thats where Samsung is hiding their ultra thin and flexible glass
It's not glass per say as I remember Jerry testing it some time back. It still scratches at level 2, its more of a thin layer of glass in between plastic or you can call it glastic
@@nishantrajani7372 yeah but he only did that once with the fold 3, he should test all flips/folds without the screen protectors just in case even tho its probably gonna be the same results.
@@LeonRivia if samsung actually managed to achieve a glass folding screen, I’m pretty sure they would advertise it like crazy doe
the phone returned with 2% more battery after teardown 🤣🤣 thats your reward Mr. jerry risk everything!
It's amazing watching you tear down something I will be guarding with my life for the next 2 years until I pay it of and then at least another year after, lol. Thanks for making these. Love the videos!
you are one of the primary reasons why phone companies are gradually making their units a bit more military-grade in durability.. they are so angry of you for rigging everything that they improve every new release of versions.. Thanks, Jerry!
I love your teardown skin on my Flip 4. the phone is very nice in my opinion. I'm careful with it for shure 🙂 I use the coverscreen OS software for more functionality on the little screen, this is awesome nice. thanks for the crazy reviews .. ähh teardowns
Never gets old when he says “Like a little lego”
I always love it when, after full assembly is done, there are still some spare parts left over.
Really though, Zack, nice job on not destroying the main soft display screen.
Rather awesome to see a weal fold phone service everything. Thumbs up 👍!! Great video 📹
I have a Z Flip 3. The screen protector started lifting about 6 months ago, and by 3 months ago, it was completely lifted in the folded section of the screen, so I just removed it. Been a few months now, no issues whatsoever. I think the reason they tell you not to remove it is because the adhesive is probably strong enough to lift the screen and crack it if one is not careful enough when removing it.
I did the same thing too 😅
I put a different screen protector
Same thing has happened to me however the screen is now cracking across this fold and my phone screen turns off randomly. I will never get a folding phone again
🤣. It’s there because look at the fkin screen mate it needs every damn layer of protection it can take. It’s glasstic
It's also there to keep the glass together if it ever where to crack or shatter.
You could tell his excitement from his hands that he successfully tore down and reassembled his first folding phone😀 👍🏼
Finally its here! Was eagerly waiting for this.
watching this from a flip 4 rn, very happy with it
Whoa! You did it without breaking the screen 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I bet the hinge just popped out of place a little bit in the bend test. And it has just enough force to keep the magnets from holding it closed. But crazy it survived. Though I think it more has to do with Jerry's experience with folding phones now as to before than the actual phone itself. Though Samsung does ALWAYS do an amazing job with durability... But everyone makes mistakes now and again...
Fascinating mechanics.making it all fun Jerry👌🏾
super video, great work Samsung
I work at a Samsung authorized repair center and we have seen many issues with the hinge not fully opening. The change this year from gearless has some unforseen consequences for sure
Is there any solution for crease ?
The solution is to not have a flip phone in 2022
@@supes2687 The crease really isnt a big deal personally
@@supes2687 yea don’t buy the crap 🤣
Does the same go for the Fold 4 hinges?
To what extent did the screen protector protect against your nail indentations during the durability test? That's what I'd love to know
i wish he check if its glass under the plastic layer
@@SuperMan19867 what
@@IanLesiuk -- He wished he checked if it's glass under the plastic layer

Best teardown channel and a spectacular Jerry
Congrats! I love your videos and I'm so happy to see that this one survived!
Nice work! Had a Z Flip 3 for 1 year without any problems at all and upgraded recently to the Flip 4. Good to see it's sturdy enough 👍
No issues at all yet you upgraded a new phone ? 😂.
@@zethloveless7238 Had to since I sold it to get a Fold 4. But I didn't like that at all. (Note to self: Grow bigger hands in next life. 😄) So went back to the flip form factor.
@@samyka68 it pays to be more informed. You just ended up costing yourself more money. Seems like you got into a fold totally unaware of the size. You make a good consumer
@@zethloveless7238 True. But it was not only the sheer size of the Fold but rather the whole feel of it. I didn't like to interact with it. And I sold it for the same price I paid. So, all's good 😊
Samsung has come a long way! Once a Sony and Apple fan, but now have lots of respect for the engineers and designers at Samsung.👏👏👏
"If we see the guts of last year's Flip 3..."
Too soon Zack, too soon
Jerry...always the best. Absolutely fascinating, as always.
It's interesting to see exactly how the hinge on my flip 4 failed. From this teardown I can see exactly what happened. The little channel "gears" on the right side of the phone (when the screen is facing you) got knocked out of alignment, and the bottom one, whish is where the failure snapped it off, began to slide forward, going through the graphite tape just enough to puncture the back of the flexible screen directly on top of where it is supposed to be laying down, destroying the pixels there and creating an open circuit for the entire line of pixels in a cross guard section leading away from the initial damage.
Before I did some minor surgery to wiggle the gear back away from the screen, I could both feel and see something jutting out of the screen and causing it to bulge, though I wasn't sure exactly what it was, besides probably part of the hinge. Now I know the exact shape by connecting the dots between what it felt like and what it looks like.
Same thing happened on my Flip4, the hinge failed causing it to snag when opening and closing, you could always hear a clicking sound, consequently after that the screen around the hinge area turned black and then completely off. Phone works still as it shows on the small front screen but not main screen.
Guarantee on these phones is really hit and miss with Samsung as they look for any small scratch or mark on phone to attribute it to the cause. Buyer beware! I'm still in contract for another 9 months paying for a dead phone.
I miss those days when we could just replace the phone battery like we can in every other battery powered device.
What'd you mean? You can replace it yourself or if you want to ensure water resistance is in-tact (unlike any other battery powered device) then take it to an authorized repair center as they have the proprietary tools to ensure the entegrity is restored with testing after the repair is completed. Last I checked most ASCs charge $100 or less USD including labor for this, or buy the battery yourself and simply reuse the old adhesives --won't be water tight but neither are most every other battery power device that can be changed out simple
I miss the days people didn't bitch as much
@@j.ballsdeep420 I meant just taking the backplate off and switching the battery. A thing that everyone can do.
@@j.ballsdeep420 mate all that faff is exactly why non replaceable batteries are so bad. u used to be able to buy a battery online for 30 quid, pop the back off and click it in, took 30 seconds and brand new battery. its the main reason people upgrade, the batteries are always the first thing to go bad in a phone
Totally enjoyed this tare down!
9:56 you can tell he's genuinely surprised and excited that the phone turned back on
Interesting that it still seems to have the same issue closing after reassembly. I can only guess that it's something to do with the new hinge, which certainly makes the longevity of the latest devices rather dubious.
The closing issue is from the bend test, 9 min mark of the durability video. He also mentioned it in this video.
I LOVED my Flip 3.. RIght up to the point about 9 months in where the screen at the fold area started to peel off. I hope they eventually get things worked out because the small size, but standard screen is what I'm still looking for.
Was that the screen or the screen protector that was peeling?
That was the screen protector, not the screen itself...lol
@@DazedSean Yes. But if they tell you not to remove it and it starts to come off less than a year later.. It's not ready.
@@twjonckheere I peeled my screen protector off after a small piece of dirt got trapped under it and dented the screen below. It is removable and doesn't destroy the screen, but it is leaving the screen exposed to damage.
But I kind of agree with you, the tech is not fully there yet. But it is cool as hell and I'll probably stick to folding phones.
@@twjonckheere Samsung do offer to replace the film at their stores.
you make teardowns so fun :)
Bravo, good job on the survival!
Next level unlocked! No more destroying foldables during teardown!
Jerry is killing it with the death puns today lol
Too soon ? 🤣
that Mr. Dahmer one killed me. (like Dahmer did)
Well done Zack, I honestly had no hope for this poor phone yet you brought it back to life. Thumbs up for that 👍🏻
Watching this on my flip 4 ...so much fun!
Maybe you should try the scratch test after taking of this pre applied screen protector
Awesome video zack , i am curious, after removing the plastic screen protector, is the layer of the screen under directly the utg or is it still another layer of soft plastic , hope you can do a scratch test on that layer , thanks
Can't wait for an update on the library. I've sent a bunch of books + shared this around. I'd love to hear more details about the process, see a photo or video of all the books you got, etc.
Love Your video Keep up the Great Work !
Nice tear down, only thing that was missing is the test of the actual resistance of the screen itself, since you only test the plastic cover on the later video 😔
Would've been nice to see a new scratch test on the screen!
Very impressive Zack, the Z flip 4 lives, and as for the 2 round stickers in the phone, they keep the mice out, freaking brilliant video Zack 👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘Cheers from Melbourne Australia
Idk if it's intentional, but I love how your videos always sound ASMR-ish
I love how he’s extra careful with it while being completely ruthless with iPhones 😂
That's what they get for not being repairable
From what I can tell Samsung isn't thinking about repairability while Apple seems to be going out of their way to make it harder. Hence why in theory he's ruthless with the iPhones.
Apple sucks!
@@mittromney6052 The iPhone 14 is the most repairable iPhone in years. Zack said it himself.
@@jimestooper1480 yes, its like congratulating an otherwise failing student when they get a bare minimum pass.
According to the title, I can predict the Flip survived the teardown!
Zach: "Risk is my middle name"
Me: Jerry Risk Everything😂😂
And proven them wrong you have. Teardown videos are your style of ASMR, and one I can get behind with.
5:42 The circular stickers are for warranty purposes, if they are not in place the warranty does not cover it
*5:43
But how hard is the actual screen? I'm disappointed you didn't scratch it after removing the screen protector

The flip 4 hinge redesign has been causing a lot of issues recently and this videos only strengthens that theory

The most satisfying teardown yet!
Glueaholics, 😂 Jerry’s humor is up there
So refreshing man
Maybe that the pop sound was possibly due to the dust particles. They could be cracking and crunching between the actual hinge or the fold part itself. Because that is where that pop sound came from. Not fully sure, but possibly my guess.
Thank for video👍
the black stickers are a way for samsung to catch you redhanded disassembling your phone and voiding your warranty
Great vlog!
Jerry RISK Everything.🔥
Do the Forme Life gym equipment video please, just curious to know how those motors makes up resistance
Nice video, Wish you could do a little more disassembly showing in detail the hinge assembly.
I just had the hinge on my 2 month old Samsung Galaxy Z flip 4 break causing the phone to only open about 45 degrees. apparently this new hinge, is super fragile and from mining the web Ive come across quite a few others experiencing the same issue.
And since you have flip 3 and a flip 4 maybe compare the two. I see recall or class action in Samsungs future, kinda like the battery fiasco on the "Note" Thanks
Fantastic teardown Jerry- i mean Zack!
William Wallace, In case you wondered,
"Unwilling to compromise, Wallace refused to submit to English rule, and Edward’s men pursued him until August 5, 1305, when they captured and arrested him near Glasgow. He was taken to London and condemned as a traitor to the king and was hanged, disemboweled, beheaded and quartered. He was seen by the Scots as a martyr and as a symbol of the struggle for independence, and his efforts continued after his death."
