Worried that Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 might not stand up to continuous folding? A YouTuber from Korea is undertaking an experiment that could either alleviate those worries or amplify them, based on the results.

The tech-it YouTube channel is currently live-streaming an effort to fold the Galaxy Z Fold 7 200,000 times to evaluate its durability.

One might think this endeavor would necessitate specialized tools, yet the streamer is manually folding and unfolding the device, which is quite remarkable.

A caption on the video stream indicates that the manual approach is designed to mimic “real-world usage conditions.” Just watching it makes our wrists hurt.

The fold count is approaching 150,000, so the testing is anticipated to carry on for another day or two. The streamers have stated their goal is 40,000-50,000 folds daily.

The device showcased in the video appears to be operating flawlessly with no noticeable damage. It’s crucial to highlight that Samsung Display estimates the Galaxy Z Fold 7’s screen can endure 500,000 folds, meaning this experiment isn’t pushing it to its extremes. Could there be a chance to push the initial target even further?
