Really impressed by the half open drops. That hinge mechanism seems so strong.
there's bendtest as well, it was fine in that too
I never understand Z fold/flip. Whats the purpose of that phone? Its just more work to open and close, its also thick to carry. Why not just buy a tablet for big screen?
Didn’t you got the chance yet to hold a fold and flip? The hinge is super super strong, and i can say from experience, the hinge doesn’t even come lose after many flips… or folds.
@@fynkozari9271 I've had one for a week now and I genuinely dont think I could ever go back to a regular phone again. It makes WAY more sense. It's extra thickness is made up for its smaller size.
It's so much more smaller and comfortable to carry. I don't feel a massive rectangle in my pocket.
It was nearly impossible to ride my motorcycle for example.
But with this form factor it's so small.
It doesn't take extra time at all to flip it open. It's not annoying if that's what you think.
This form factor just makes so much sense.
The screen is protected when it's folded which is 90% of the time where as other phones they're just exposed.
The way it folds away into a small square and all the cool uses you can get with that Like a built in stand, taking selfies with main camera, checking notifications etc. Without even opening phone.
It also makes a perfect Gameboy Afvance SP for playing Pokemon lol
I literally find a new use for the form factor every day that makes me go "WOAH THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE!"
Seiko made that hinge
As a Fold 4 owner and first time folding phone I own. I felt chest pain each time I saw and heard the fold drop. 😖
Same with my flip 4
Same bro....same!
How is flip 4 worthy to buy sir/ madam
@@Vakratunda1993 for me I love the portability when it's folded as well as I love the functions on the cover screen.
I said ouch from the first drop 😢
It's funny how the Fold and Flip 4 is more durable than the OnePlus 10 pro and 10T that's is mind-blowing 😱
Exactly, it's funny 💯🔥
@@tricker7060 what about bend test
Like I can’t stop thinking about that 🤣
That's because OnePlus doesn't care anymore. Or better yet one plus was all hype and marketing from the beginning!
@@adharshreghu3270 passed with flying colors on Jerry Rig Everything channel
I said the same thing on your z fold 3 drop test video and I'll say it again, being such a heavy decide and being dropped half open on the hinge and still managing to not open fully and stay at the angle shows the effort Samsung has put into these phones. Yes they might not be taking the biggest leaps in terms of hardware but they've definitely perfected the recipe.
it is best hadware wise
Samsung's hardware blows every other foldable competition out of the water, I have no idea what you mean. Actually, I think I do know what you mean.
When you say hardware here, I think you're talking about the thickness of phone and the crease in the middle, which the Chinese OEMs are doing better with.
Don't ever judge an electronic gadget by how it looks on the outside. For Chinese OEMs, they skipped a lot of important features to achieve that "perfect ratio." Their phones won't even function properly in many dire situations. Also, their hinge engineering is so pathetic.
@@trstnhn I agree. I don't disagree when people say Samsung pulled an apple here with their design, sure it's practically just the fold3 but better, but that's an entirely different situation here. These are folding phones, not shitty rectangular slabs. Finding what works best for the current tech without sacrificing everything to "change it up we need to be on the cutting edge of tech!" Is stupid. So them trying to do the fold3 but better in every way is acceptable here.
Now if they did it again for the fold5 and fold6, then yes there will be some issues, but fucking hell give Samsung a year to breathe.
Also this is coming from someone who thinks Samsung's main phones have gotten stale.
And by this time most of the fold phones have a damaged display!!
@@trstnhn kojjhhhg😮😢❤🎉
That fold is a straight up beast. Everytime it hit the surface it just plopped... it didn't bounce up or around. Just a solid smack
weight
Like when it was dropped face down while it was half-way folded and then it just retained that same posture rofl
These phones are VERY strong. Most complaints on reddit about the inner screen cracking actually turned out to be the plastic screen protector developing thin air bubbles that look like cracked glass.
literally ig they didnt know it came with a screen protector
Is there any way to avoid the bubbles? Or just replace the protector when it's time...
@@htsunmiku They are using a new steonger adhesive this time, let's see how that turns out. Otherwise just replace the screen protector when it's time
@@htsunmiku I believe samsung gives 1 free screen repair on their foldables, right?
@@trstnhn under warranty, yea
Watching in my z flip 4 i felt relaxed after watching this. It shows how well built these phones are
Hows the z flip 4 holding till now. Considering buying one
Blown away by how well the Fold did. I have drop mine many times without any drama but I had always put it down to luck
Now if only Samsung could "drop" those prices! 🤑😑☹️
Z Flip4 is $250 cheaper then an iPhone 13 pro in Australia.
You should know when to buy it I got the Fold4 with a discount close to 1000$ + plus extra invoice credits
These are as low as anyone could ever want these devices to be, such high and modern tech is not plastic cheap!!!!
You're paying for basically 3 screens on the fold, no other phones flip or fold so ofc it's gonna cost more than regular phones
@@haruyanto8085 lol Motorola, Huawei and xiaomi all make flip / foldable phones.
Kudos to Samaung. They're already way ahead in the foldables category. I hope this is the start where Samsung domination over Apple begins.
Foldable phones will not become that popular i think. Would not stand a day at my work. The screen would be broken in a week. But they did a good job on theese. Its samsung software and android i dont like, after trying iphones the last couple of years
@@vikinnorway6725 I think foldables will get popular. A work environment that is so harsh that a foldable phone cannot survive it is very niche so that probably won't affect the sales by more than a very small decimal point, if at all.
@@vikinnorway6725 That was said when Samsung released the NOTE. Apple even promised to never make a phone with a screen larger than 3.5 inches! 🤣 Samsung are the real innovative trend setters.
Not with their crappy software!
@@vikinnorway6725 foldables are the next generation. U get more screen on a very small housing.
It's amazing how they are taking Samsung's most pricey phones and damaging it😅😅 while we can't even afford one 😭😭
They will make more money from this video than how much the phones cost and they will do tax write off on those phones anyways.
gotta spend money to make money
I never pay full price for the new phones but also never trade a phone for it, there's always options to get a new phone every year 😉😎
Didn't realize how tough the Fold 4 is. Makes me happy I bought one. Almost bought the Flip but the Fold looks so much better.
Samsung were NOT playing around when they decided to call them Unbreakable
This pains me, but it's good to know the durability of these unique flagship phones. 👍
In the last Bonus Drop, the Flip 3 made a 360° Halfway Backflip and landed on his feet 😅
The drop test is great, at the end customer cares about repairability of an device more than the drop that is my opinion.
You can also start repairability series in which you take your tested phone to smartphone manufacturers and ask them to repair your broken and then you can rate them how good or bad their service was and the availability or how repairable this smartphone would be.
Love you videos man❤️
That's dumb, there's many variables that just doesn't make it practical, do you know how many smartphone repair shops are there? Let alone the official manufacturers repair services, he'd need close to a hundred units of one phone to get a good sample size to give a conclusive review.
Watching this on my Fold 4 feels so assuring. Thanks for the test guys.
I wanted to buy it but it costs 3000$☠️ in my country. Flip is 2000$. I changed my mind😅
@@diablotech385 im thankful i got it the same price as my s21 ultra there was a preorder deal and i had to cop it.
@@diablotech385 where
Would have preferred an open high corner drop for the bonus round but thanks for being one of the rare places to perform proper drop tests 👏
The fact that both the phones fell down the same way as it was unfolded shows that Samsung is not joking about their "hinge engineering"
i was having doubts about this phone but this is pretty impressive. and i have to say im real glad to see this kind of drop test. i have a hard time finding good drop tests for phones in a case much less one without a case lol. great work
As an owner of a flip 4, they do very well and you don't drop them as much as you do w an usual phone.
The only 2 times I dropped mine was on the front screen and nothing happend. I've had it for like good 6 months and no issues.
It's light, thin, doesn't break that easy, good software and overall not even lagging when I play games.
@@nasrin1125 ended up breaking mine within 2 months 🤣
@@danny-vb8bg what are you doing on top of skyscrapers then?😂
6:24 That's amazing! The free stop hinge is so strong!
Thanks for the video! This is amazing!😯🤩🤩🤩
Could you keep using these two phones until anything fails significantly? Such report is very useful because the drop may not break the phone right away but still affect its long-term durability.
Good point
As with any other phone
Good point.
I was just going to type this. The screen failures are reported after the phone has been damaged, after a fall
i agree. and not just to samsung phones. some phones starts lagging with one MINOR drop.
I'm a little more at ease with this thing now. No longer feel like I have to baby it. No longer am I fully hating this Samsung OEM pen case for the fold 4. I thought they cheaped out and just threw something together. But for a nearly $2K phone, this is what the results are supposed to be. Great vid. New subscriber for sure.
is it still alive?
I'd be curious to see a corner drop. Out of many years of having Samsung phones, the 2 that seem to crack were because they were dropped on a corner. Just a thought.
I had a flip and dropped it one time and of course it lands on the corner of the hinge and just completely jacks it all up. 😵💫
One of the most awaited test
The most awaited is the speedtest, wait a minute, how are we going to see the speedtest after the drop test 😭 or are you gonna buy another one 😀
He probably already did the speedtest before the drop test but he released the drop test video first.
@@someonetooknuggets smart
@@someonetooknuggets oh cool
I am waiting for the battery and speed test of these two phones🔥
I'm quite impressed with the battery life
Wow this is pretty impressive! Never thought foldable phones could outstand normal flat phone in terms of durability.
Thanks for watching ✅
You won🎁...
These vidoes make my palms sweaty!!
Watching this on my brand new Fold 4 and I can tell you this is the best phone I ever own in my entire life
Same have had every Generation of the Fold now, 4 is amazing the whole day I never go past 80% battery 😆
is there any problems with it until now?
i want to buy one but fold 5
i was waiting for this video
Great testing and in you’re analysis you seem to try and avoid baseless assumptions. If you slow the slow mo down more or even pause at the point of impact (since you’re not using a phantom or the like) and perhaps add a graphic to identify where each one hit, they would add a lot for viewers. I might check if you have a video explaining your testing methods (seems like you would) and how well your rig maintains uniformity with the drops - which is especially hard with these phones.
Samsung is in a league of it's own, nobody beats a folding Samsung
Thank you for doing that. It brought me more peace of mind lol
please compare both with their all previous gens
make one video on fold
and one on flip
😍
The thing to note here is, whatever damage to the glass the phones took upon their first and second drops, are what caused the next few cracks to appear regardless of what "angle" and height because the glass areas had already been compromised by the second drops.
So anything after the 2nd drop is just them trying to break the phones because the results are not conclusive due to the compromised structure of the glass.
That's like smacking a car windshield with a baseball bat twice and then expecting it to survive after the 2nd smash.
Underrated af comment
Well when Samsung teased the Foldables by saying it was unbreakable
Did you guys think they were playing 🙃
They did break tho..
@@vikinnorway6725 they're working?
@@angryviper1 they work but still broke. And its at very low hight. Just watch the iphone 12 and s21 or something, they get way Harder treatment in phonebuffs test
@@vikinnorway6725 Hi, no one actually expects these phones to be literally unbreakable, since there is no such a thing. Samsung just means that they are very durable. That is all, have a good day.
@@vikinnorway6725 i don't think you understand what "break" is, the worst thing that happened was a cracked back glass, the phones still worked completely fine, even then compare the glass shatter of the flip to iPhones, the iPhones glass flies off and comes off
oh my its been A WHILE!
Thank u. I now have more confidence for my phone
PhoneBuff is so underrated
Hey phonebuff, where have you been eh 😄
I'm actually quite impressed by these phones.
I just got a fold 4 and I've been scared of dropping it so this definitely puts me at ease.
I’ve owned a few zflip 3s and dropped it so many times, like a crazy amount of times with no case. Never cracked the cover screen, I’ve cracked the back glass but somehow never the cover screen. And dropping the phone never killed it. But getting stuff in the hinge killed them unfortunately because working on cars a lot of grease/dirt/grime would make it’s way in.
When you do speed tests for Samsungs do you put on enhanced processing
😭😭😭😭😭 wow! Great video!
The main reasons to buy a flip phone is better "pocketability" and screen protection. Why on earth samsung decided put glass on it's back?
Wow this 2 devices are rock solid and I'm talking because they're Premium made and not those War type smartphones
I's be very interested to see a speed test of the 8+ Gen 1
Very underrated channel
Hi David, can you please do a drop test for the galaxy z flip and fold 5 please like you did for the fourth generation? This would be very helpfull! By the way I'm still your fan since 2017.
Please with the iPhone 14PM do a battery test with AOD on and off to see how much battery it takes. I love this channel bro.
Finally!!! Thanks
Yeah!!! So cool how durable they are
Good to see...I got the flip4 and didn't want to add any bulk at all to it so I got a dbrand skin and Samsung care+
Awaiting for iphone 14 series Drop test in phonebuff style 😉
Good to know, I got my Fold 4 yesterday and have body armored the phone.
Great video! Pretty expensive one to! Lol.. They are pretty strong hey.. wow!
Now that is a scary test I'm watching it in my Z fold 4 and and it gives me chills chills good thing I have a hardcore Case on mine
Please how do I get the one of the phones you used for the test?? I would be glad if i get one to use.
Finally someone did this, do a screen test please no ones doing it
OK..noted...gotta get a good case for my flip 4.....i am confused between spigen armour and the original samsung silicone one.....
A better screen drop test in a real world scenario would be if you have tiny pebbles like you can commonly on the sidewalk or in the park. Or brick roads that will not provide a perfectly flat surface to drop onto with those tiny pebbles or road imperfections that can focus most of the impact in a small area of the screen.
As a Z Fold owner, I was shitting myself when you did the drop onto the folding screens.
Am I the only one having a heart attack every time it will be dropped? 😁
Every drop = hold breath and heart stop
Will you test other folsing phones like the Mate X2 in the future?
Watched a video where some people complained about the hinge not opening all the way. How hard can they dropped their Flip 4 tho? This tests clearly shows the hinge is strong.
Do you have any drop test that shows if a plastic/glass screen protector can protect the screen or not?
You might also show the under display camera on Z Fold 4 if it still works or not, but still, good job.
it probably works
when is the battery test coming out?
I have the black one and it doesn't feel like glass at all, is it only glass for other colors?
Just imagine them with protectors and covers, that'd amazing.
They have them
Bro im SO chocked these phones are so strong but they are looking really luxurious!! Can't believe how they didnt break
I hate but love these drop tests
had my flip 4 for 5 month now, and I love it!
is there any problems until now?
i want to buy one but the 5 ?
@@rasooljamal9140 yeah, I broke it a month ago unfortunately. Fell from my desk and the hinge wouldn't allow it to open fully anymore.
We need a giveaway of Phonebuff.
Now we want to see PhoneBuff Style Speed test against iPhone 13 Pro Max.
¿Para qué? cuando Apple lance sus plegables, podrán hacer comparaciones reales. Por ahora Samsung está a la vanguardia
iPhone 14* series cause It is going to release soon.
@@JhoMo20 you think apple will release a foldable? The marked for foldable is not there as wee can see.
These are really pretty well designed
Hi, I have the galaxy z flip 4 and I accidently dropped it and now it wont fully open, ( I had a case on it). I tried to open it and heard a little cracking sound so I didnt force it to open fully even though the screen did not crack. What can I do ? It doesnt open fully just halfway and Its not even a month old. Is there a way it can be fixed?
What does the 15 point inspection include?
The z flip 4 really said weeee on the second drop 😂
My zflip 4 landed on a ceramic floor falling off a coffee table..Direct hit on the corner of the hinge and broke the screen ..Phone wouldn't open after that..The hinge was the only part of the phone that didn't have protection by my Ringke case.
Watching this with my Flip and I no longer worry lol
So I definitely need to get a case for my flip 4
Nice one
flip 3 vs flip 4 speed and battery test soon plz. i pre orded the flip 4 i want to see the improvement gen to gen
Yeah they also need to improve the amount of times you can flip the phone…because from what I’ve seen the phone stops working after you reach a certain amount of times that you’ve opened and closed the phone. And I think a phone that can’t stand the test of time and repeat usage is kind of problematic. But perhaps I’m wrong?
Im so curious as to if heavier or lighter phones get more damaged during falls, an obvious answer would be heavier because bigger you are harder you fall right?
OnDrop 5 the Fold 4 survived. I'm impressed. I have the Fold 4. my first foldable. this gives me hope. 😆
Nice Panda Flip 4!
Consider if it had a case on as well 🤗
Although I nearly died. You dripped them, so I don't have too. Thank you.
Such a relief, so if I use the fold with a case that has a hinge protector, it'll remain crack and scratch free by the time I'm gonna trade it in 😝
When are you going to trade it in? I just got my Fold 4 too and I don't regret it but I'm going to trade it in for Fold 5 if the change is drastic enough lol.
@@trstnhn As soon as the fold 5 pre order goes live. I just hope samsung will keep the pre order trade in and gift offers 😆
i would love to see a video where they drop the fold 4s inner screen directly onto an object such as a weight or the corner of a table or something
It will survive, it's plastic
@@haruyanto8085 its ultra thin glass, wont survive , dead pixels on impact i bet
While I am still going to use a case on my Flip 4, its at least reassuring to see how durable these phones are in drop tests. Feel like I could maybe get away with a thinner case than a huge bulky case.
I would love to see a drop test of the Chinese folding phones if possible, please.
Same
what about dropping it on the corner? my s10 cracked because i dropped it on the corner on cement. since the corner is so small (pressure = force / area), i imagine it would be absorbing the most kinetic energy
I find a lot of these tests really interesting but can you really say the results are accurate if you don’t use a new phone every time? As damage that may not have been noticed in previous drops could create failures later on
I bought my flip z 4 and dropped it from pocket hight (I'm 5'2) 4 days after getting it, unfortunately it completely busted the hinge and I was unable to open my phone any more than half way ended up a bit of an expensive fix 🙃
Damm even after dropping from 1.5m with half opened hinges they still didn't closed shows you how good these are
