The Galaxy Z TriFold is Samsung’s latest and most important foldable device, and represents a major engineering step forward for the company. After its official announcement, Samsung shared a video clip revealing the assembly stages and stringent tests that the device goes through to ensure reliable performance in daily use.
Samsung confirms that it relies on ten years of experience in the world of foldable devices, and the process begins with the titanium hinge equipped with the dual Armor FlexHinge system. Samsung uses a fully automated assembly system, in addition to 3D laser scanning technology, to adjust the quality of the main screen.
The company also subjects the device to a folding test of up to 200,000 times, to ensure that the screen can withstand a number equivalent to 100 folds per day for five years. The device also undergoes rapid CT testing, which checks key internal components such as printed circuits to ensure they meet standards.
Then, the Z TriFold goes through a camera resolution test to verify the readiness of the imaging systems. Next, Samsung conducts what it calls real-world scenario testing, which simulates using the phone under different conditions including network, battery, screen, and environmental factors.
Finally, Samsung ensures that the device is water resistant according to the IPX8 standard by subjecting it to water spray tests under pressure to ensure its ability to withstand actual use.
