Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 passed the violence test after going through the fire.
Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Wu Yanzu in South China for the delivery of clues! CTOnews.com8, March 30 (Xinhua)-- on August 10 this year, Samsung released Galaxy Z Fold4 / Flip4 folding screen phones, both of which are equipped with Snapdragon 8 + Gen 1 chip and support IPX8 grade waterproof. Yesterday, YouTube's JerryRigEverything channel conducted a violent test of the machine.
In the video, the blogger tested the scratch resistance of the inner and outer screens of the Galaxy Z Fold4 folding screen phone, and the hardness of the inner screen was significantly lower than that of the outer screen. When the blogger scraped the off-screen front camera of Galaxy Z Fold4 with an art knife, it did not affect it, leaving a permanent mark when scraping the middle frame of the phone with a knife. In addition, the blogger pried open the phone's volume key with an art knife.
At the same time, the blogger sprinkled dirt on the Galaxy Z Fold4 folding screen, baked the phone screen with a lighter and broke the phone in all directions. After going through the fire, Galaxy Z Fold4 left a lot of scratches and permanent marks on the screen, but still didn't turn it off. Therefore, like the previous two generations of Galaxy Z Fold models, the machine successfully passed the JerryRigEverything violence test.
Although Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 successfully passed the JerryRigEverything violence test, individual users still encountered low-probability problems, resulting in damage to the phone screen. Fortunately, Samsung has reduced the cost of changing the Galaxy Z Fold4 / Flip4 screen to $29, provided users buy the Samsung Care + service for $8-11 a month.
Outside the warranty period, Galaxy Z Fold4 offers up to US $499 (about RMB 3448.09) / US $357 (about RMB 2466.87) for screen replacement / maintenance at its own expense. Galaxy Z Flip4's offer is slightly lower, including $349 (2411.59 yuan) for inner screen replacement and $219 (1513.29 yuan) for maintenance.
As previously reported by CTOnews.com, Samsung shared a video on August 26 of two Galaxy Z Fold4 / Flip4 folding screen phones being assembled and tested in a factory, in which Samsung soaked the two phones in semi-folded water to verify their water resistance.
