Samsung Says The Galaxy Z Fold 7’s Display Is Good For At Least 500K Folds
Conducted by Bureau Veritas, a leading French qualification, inspection, and certification firm, the durability test subjected the Galaxy Z Fold 7's main display to half a million folds over a span of 13 days. When all was said and done, the display remained fully functional with Samsung Display attributing this breakthrough to a 50 percent increase in the thickness of its proprietary shock-resistant Ultra Thin Glass (UTG) and the integration of high-elastic adhesive layers. A Samsung press announcement declares that, "durability is no longer a limiting factor in the lifespan of foldable smartphones."
- The Z Fold 7 is slimmer and lighter, measuring 4.2 millimeters when unfolded and 8.9 mm folded, and weighing around 215 grams (lighter than the Galaxy S25 Ultra). It features an enhanced Armor Aluminum frame and Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2, plus IP48 water and dust resistance.
