Samsung Galaxy Z Flip's durability tested, display scratches like plastic

Posted: 17 Feb 2020 02:14 AM PST

The Galaxy Z Flip is a landmark product in Samsung's portfolio. One of its most anticipated features is the Ultra Thin Glass (UTG) which was expected to improve the scratch resistance of foldable displays. The latest developments show that it might not be up to the task though. Zack Nelson from JerryRigEverything performed his signature durability test on Samsung's latest foldable and the top layer of its UTG screen didn't hold up that well, scratching at a level 2 on Mohs' scale for mineral hardness. The level 3 pick managed noticeably deeper grooves while the level 4 pick went right...

Posted: 16 Feb 2020 07:04 PM PST

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip is Samsung's hottest new flip phone and while the latter part of this might remind you of 2005, the phone is every bit 2020. Samsung (and Motorola with the Razr) has used cutting edge technology to bring back a classic form factor.

Exactly how does a smartphone with a clamshell form-factor work differently than the regular candy bar design we've settled on in the last decade - here's what a day with the Z Flip was like...
