Samsung Z Fold 5 Durability Test! - They said it was strong... 

The whole first 30 seconds of this video had me really thinking about how i don’t know english as well as i thought

We might now need a dictionary to watch jerryrig😁 EDIT: Thanks for the likes ❤️❤️❤️

The Z fold 5 has survived the Jerry's durability test, quite impressive honestly. And that hinge test was insane. I think Samsung has found a way to really improve their craft. Still, a bit disappointed that Samsung decided to follow Apple footstep and move away from expandable memory, that solid grey block could easily be a SD card slot

As a fold 3 owner until last week, the fold 5 is noticeably different. The screen is brighter, the phone is slimmer in the hand and it feels smoother to operate.

"If you want a fold 5, just go buy a fold 3" ah yes true wise and pocketable words from Zack

Bruh its like Samsung is insulting us with that solid grey chunk where an SD card could've easily been placed. 🙄

Absolutely amazing and awe-inspiring content! Always bringing authentic analyses, awesome advice, and astounding articulation. Admiring your dedication to educating and entertaining.

I really wish Zack would add a drop test to the durability test as there’s no impact testing at all and that’s one of the major things I worry about. Also a mega thumb test in the soft plastic screen just to see if it permanently warps after really digging your fingers in. Otherwise I do love the videos, thanks Zack

The tension i felt during the bend test is enough to bend time and space.

Between Zack's durability test, and another channel's live stream of real people opening and closing a Flip 5 more than 400,000 times before the screen failed, I think it is fair to say that Samsung has got this folding thing figured out.

The pain I get watching these durability test videos is unimaginable😢

Oh my gosh, the alliteration in the intro is music to the ears. Loved every second of it 👏👏👏

I don't follow new phone releases as much anymore, but damn was this interesting to see how much they've improved over the years!

A foldable survived Jerry's durability test , I can say that Samsung z fold 5 seems a good option if you have that kind of money to flex on

It's amazing to me how far samsung has come with regards to durability from the Z Fold 1 to the Z Fold 5. As someone who had the Z Fold 4 (traded it back in because I realized folding phones really weren't for me), I appreciated that the phone always felt just as sturdy open as it did closed. This 5th generation seems to be an incremental upgrade. It's basically a Z Fold 4S. Something to upgrade if you have a Fold 3 or earlier, but an upgrade that you can skip if you have the Fold 4.

I got the fold 5. So far I am loving it and after watching this realize I should calm down a little. I was so afraid at first I would break it. I still might but at least I feel a little better seeing this durability test. This is my first foldable.

As an owner of both the 3 and now the 5, the biggest difference is the battery life. The 5 lasts so much longer than my 3 ever did even when it was brand new.

I am happy that I waited till the 5 because I assumed at some point, Samsung would be able to design the hinge in a way where it closes flat and they finally have

Thanks for this! I have a fold 5 and was weirdly nervous sbout the hinge and inner screen and dust, despite having had a flip 4 with no issues. Now I truly understand that as long as I am sensible and avoid immolation, I should be fine.

I am seriously impressed. Especially the dust test...wow!

Literally watching this on my fold 5 (my first folding phone ever) and it made me sooo anxious lol. I'm incredibly impressed with the dust and bending resistance though!!

I love your videos so much about topic, devices and technology.

My first ever JerryRigEverything video and this hurt so much to watch. Well done.

It's always fun watching these for the Z Folds! I've had Folds 1, 2, and 3 until my Z Fold5 came in on Monday. Between 4 and 5 there's not a whole lot different besides the 5 folding flat, but between 3 and 5 the cover screen being shorter and wider has been amazing and I've been using the cover screen a lot more on average the past two days than I did with my 3. Not to mention I don't have to worry about wallpapers that don't look good narrow as much anymore. So while aesthetically it's a small change, for a user of four years now it's a very welcome one! 😊

Rocking a fold 3 for about a year now. Still works great and no issues. Got mine with a decent trade in and a steep discount for a reasonable price. Given what's been coming out since, I can't see any reason to upgrade at all.

As always great testing!!

I'm hopping to see the flip 5 soon!. Thanks for the video.

Phone manufacturers be making phones with Jerry in mind now. "If Jerry breaks this I'm fired..." 😂

My wife has a Fold 4. Very happy with it since is allows her to work more efficiently when out of the office. She has a case like the one you showed, it feels very protected with it, but I think the hinge protector should be in the other half, since when yo try to use de selfie mode with the main cameras, that protector covers part of the front screen.

Great video. Never saw your stuff before. Abusive without getting gory. Perfect. Subscribed.

I loved the commentary in this one!

"If you want a Fold5, get the Fold3" I died

Finally cometh the video we were waiting for

Im always been amazed by he's voice over. A Lullaby. ❤

Subscribed because of your intro. Fan for Life 🎉

7:43 That really tells you all you need to know about the latest version. A nicer way to look at it is Samsung is really trying to perfect the hinge before they start messing with the internals.

I bought a Flip 4 a week before they unveiled the Flip 5, while the improvements are small, I do love the look of a gap-less fold

Coming back to this video, gotta say that the food 5 might be the most beautiful looking phone. That hinge is sublime. I remember the very first fold like it was yesterday and the hinge didn’t lay flat.

I love how your voice always makes me feel like im listening to the narrator in my favorite movie, Stand by me lol.

I think with folding phones you should add a bend test after rotating 90 degrees too, Zack - that would target different pressure points and be similar to the bend test on non-folding phones :)

not folding backwards even when considerable strength is applied seems sorcery-ish lmao. I have a fold4 and it feels so "easy" to fold backwards. Never tried though, thanks for trying that for us

That intro script was a work of art. Amazing articulation.

Ayeeee 🔥 let's go fold 5 babyyy already got mine and the watch 6 classic 👌🏾 u should test the watch!!!

"Absolutely Amazing Analysis, Zack! Always Appreciate Your Attention to detail As you Assess the durability of the latest devices. Another Awesome Addition to your Array of Astonishing content. Applauding your efforts As Always!

I'm not yet into folding phones but Galaxy Fold 5 seems like a very durable device. I hope the Flip 5 is as durable as it's bigger sibling. Nice durability test as always! o7

Been waiting for this

Love the alliteration in the intro.

Zack, I would love to see you removing this protection layer from the inner screen after burning it with the lighter. Even though Samsung says it's not removable, it is and the device works just fine without it (I removed it from mine Fold 3 and 4 and using for a year without it with no issue)

"If you want a Fold 5, just go buy Fold 3" Cheers Zack. I have one and you may have just saved me a small fortune. As brilliant as the Fold series are, it's a shame that there are no significant changes each year. Especially where the folding screen is concerened.

So this video convinced me to get the z fold 5, after waiting years for the perfect folding phone to start with since durability is a major factor in the line of work I am in. Now, after some time with the fold 5, I have noticed many things. 1. The many complaints 2. Everyone discrediting the durability 3. Bashing camera quality, etc. However, if you like, I was wondering if it's worth it, I can definitely put that thought to ease. The answer is absolutely. The z fold is super durable, I am an air field electrician, so my pockest get filled with dirt and grime often, which has affected the phone's henge none. Moister that my phone has been subjected to has had no effect on the inner screen, ports, or speakers. It has been scratched on the metal frame and henge from a poor designed case allowing debris to get caught between the case and phone, which will be replaced with a dbrand case, but other than tiny scratches, no issues so far and my lifestyle is brutal on phones. The complaints about the thin front screen and camera quality aren't an issue either. I bought the phone, not for photo shoots and looking at aliens on the moon. Rather, I bought it for the purpose of multitasking, watching shows, gaming, and videos pretty much wanting the option of having a small tablet and phone together at the same time without the separation of using two seperate devices. The front screen is perfect for quick access or scrolling on social media, while the inner display is for everything else. The camera still takes beautiful pictures with amazing colors, quality, and contrast. The same goes for the video quality. If you want an army swiss knife for a phone, that is durable enough for everyday life, even for the more rugged lifestyle. Get this phone, you won't regret it. My only complaint is the misinformation people have let on about the quantity of this phone in other videos and reviews I have watched. If it wasn't for the Jerryrigeverything channel and the quality of videos you make. I wouldn't have the confidence in the product I end up buying, which has led me to enjoying my decisions rather than regretting them.

I got lost even before the intro screen showed up... I have to rewatch. Why did you do this Jerry?

i really wanted to want the z fold 5. but having already the z fold 4 i really cant just justify this purchase. it really looks exactly like the same phone. hope next year comes with some new improved features, like bigger outter screen and maybe a slot for the pen inside the device.

The "Permanent" screen protector CAN be removed, but you need to be careful. Basically once it starts getting peely after a year or so, you can very carefully pull it off and either go without or get a new one. There are aftermarket ones that seem to be decent, but it should be noted that Samsung has made it free or fairly cheap to get a new one, like $20 I think, but walk-in locations are limited and sending your phone in for one is very inconvenient. When in doubt, don't mess with it and have it fixed by someone who knows what they're doing.

Best video for internet good luck brother 😊😊😊😊😊😄

The empirical evaluation of the product's robustness to diverse modalities of mechanical strain was supremely satisfying. The author of this multimedia artifact is a paragon of excellence who exhibits outstanding competencies and proficiency in this field.

OMG! Love the scripting so far! 0:40

This video is painful to watch....but it does actually show how much better they are getting. Durability was always my fear.

Excellent video! My daughter dropped my Z Fold 3 which destroyed the internal screen. I was just 2-months shy of having the 3 for two years and the insurance did not have any 3's/4's available to replace it with. Thus I ended up with a Fold 5.

I remember being interested in the novelty of the fold 1 and dang its really improved

"If you want a Fold 5, just go buy a Fold 3 - it's the same phone."😂

I recently realized that you didn't do a durability test on the note 20 (not ultra), and it would've been interesting to see how that one would have held up compared to other phones since it has a plastic back, and people dont seem quite sure on whether the frame was steel or alumimium. Either way, always fun to see you consistently test new phones, and whether they can survive extreme contitions!

Hello my friend! I always enjoy your durability videos, keep it up! I've recently bought a Samsung phone which claims to be a rugged phone - it's an X Cover 6 pro. It's a very repairable phone, the back unclips to remove the battery, and for that reason alone I don't believe its IP67 rating for being waterproof. However, it's a fantastic phone, extremely repairable, just needs an expert such as yourself to test it! All the best.

i dont think ill ever stop watching these videos...i never plan to put my devices through these kinda situations but brooo is it hella satisfying😂😂😂😂

From what I've seen of this phone. It really is mostly the same as last year and the year before. There's some minor improvements beyond just the better hinge. Brighter clearer inner display in sunlight and improved battery life seem to be the most notable improvements. If you don't have a foldable (or you have a Z Fold 1 or 2) and have the money to spare go for this one. If you have a Z Fold 3 or 4 and you're happy with it stick with that for now.

Hey Jerry, can you do the level 9 scratches on the plastic screen? It would be so cool to see the damage. Maybe the Flip 5? (After it’s been destroyed by all the other tests first though, don’t want to break the phone before you’ve done the durability test)

amazing word play bro..... i enjoyed it all

I bought one of these this week to replace my aging S8+ (still works, just battery life isn't there anymore). Anyway, glad to see that aside from the inner screen needing some babying, which I figured was the case, that it can take some punishment.

There are actually quite a bit of visual differences between the Fold 3 and Fold 5, but they're not very easy to spot if you're just glancing at them. The Fold 4 and 5 are very similar though (I have the 4), and apart from the the "zero gap" on the Fold 5, there's no reason to get the 5 instead of the 4.

After the Fold 2 (which was tough enough to last 2.5 years without issues) the 5 feels much stronger. Even if the specs are slowly changing, the overall design improves a lot. Also, don1t get a Fold 3, get a 4 instead if you don't want a 5. It still has 3 A3droind versions and 4 years security updates left plus it has more efficient HW (the Sanpdragon 888 was a terrible SoC).

I'm excited to see this these phones in a couple more years. It's actually starting to turn into a solid ish phone

Watching you grow all these years!! and man you're killing it! Thanks

"Good job, Samsung. If you want a Fold5 go buy a Fold 3. It's the same phone." 😂😢

I'm legitimately shocked! The ZFold 5 is surprisingly durable!! If the Pixel Fold I ordered doesn't function too well, I might take a much closer look at the ZFold 5. The only thing stopping me is that damned slim cover screen... I want a ZFold 6 that has the shape of the Pixel Fold, TBFH...

Astounding alliteration Amigo!

It's almost 2K in my country and he plays with it like nothing happen. I have to say he is the MAN.

I'd say go get a fold 4. The upgrades from 3 to 4 were pretty descent with the increased cover screen, decreased hinge, and better processors and underscreen cam.

I wish they had that for my Fold 3... On another note I think you should add a "freeze test" for folding phones...that's when mine bit the bullet...it was cold out folded my phone and CRACK right down the middle

Structural engineeering of foldables has came a long way. At this point we would suggest buying foldables if you have that money to burn. Great video always 😄

....which you can't see.......yet. I love your destruc.... testiing methods.

Absolutely astonishing analysis, Zack! The way you ardently addressed every aspect, from aesthetics to advancements, was absolutely admirable. Your articulate anecdotes added an appealing allure to the entire analysis. It's apparent that your affinity for accurate information and your ability to amalgamate it into an absorbing narrative is awe-inspiring. Applause for your arduous efforts and the authentic aura you bring to your analyses. Keep ascending, Zack, as your analytical acumen is an asset to the tech community.

2:47 R.I.P to Amychophobia people. Including me 😢

I always watch these videos when getting a new phone. Just bought mine although i did it through Verizon. They didn’t carry it with the previous iterations so I didn’t want to dish out $1,800 in one go. I’m excited to try it out this Thursday. Also, this is coming from someone who has had an iPhone is the 4S came out. I’m ready to leave Apple behind.😂

I'm using it to watch this video. Thanks Jerry

"Just go buy a fold 3" exactly what I've been saying lol. Half the price, same phone I already have :) if it breaks, I'll just buy another 3, it's held up very well these lady 2 years though!

Got this as my first Fold last week from an S22 Ultra. Happy to see this passes. Samsung has definitely come far with these. Looking forward to the teardown to see the new shock dispersion and hinge. I feel like they're very refined with hardware and software against the competition.

I recently got the OnePlus Open foldable and was wondering if you're planning on doing a durability test / tear down video of that one, curious to see how it holds up compared to the latest Z Fold

Zack, dude, really? Do you have to have the mic on during the aluminum scratch tests? I know it's coming but gets me every time. lol.

For the next gen, you can just reupload the fold 3 durability test and do a new voiceover to call it fold 6

This is the first of his durability tests I've watched and I've never been so intrigued and horrified at the same time

I have the fold 5 and I absolutely love it, recommend it

It's worth mentioning that anyone who works outside and gets dirty absolutely cares about dirt/temperature durability tests. I'd love to know how cold or hot a temperature I can still use my phone at. How a phone handles dirt and sand is also super valuable info.

If you want a Fold 5, go buy a Phantom Fold. Every fold is classic.

Your use of diction and expanse of your verbal vocabulary in the opening, was quite enjoyable and refreshing to thy auditory resepticals. 😊😁👍

oh god watching your video is so painful!! I salute your courage and sacrifice!

Its so hurting to see the fold gets scratched and bended this way, it just hurts 😢 But thanks a lot for the cool video and advices you always tell us...

I think these softer foldable screens require a newer method of scratch test. A finer scale if you will.

Thank you. Nice review.

Thanks for making cool videos.❤️

Congratulations on your new addition Zack 👏🏽

As an owner of Fold 3 I approve this video 😂😂
