Galaxy Z Fold 3 Drop Test: How Bad Can This Go?

That hinge is seriously engineered to perfection, the phone didn't open fully even after dropped half open, the hinge stayed where it was. Impressive!

[raihanmdgician]

fact : the fold 3 is such a greatly engineered smartphone, hats off to the engineers out there who worked on this phone

[maxwellyanbor]

My heart's just beating so fast seeing a $1800 phone falling from that height.

[jonmordi]

This is a very painful drop test, but pretty impressive nonetheless

[godwater]

A few days ago, I've already dropped my fold 3 to wood floor, my heart was broken then picked up, no damage at all, not even a scratch.

[iamthestog]

Watching this as a Z fold 3 owner I was flinching on every drop! Great work, makes me feel much more comfortable with my Spigen slim armour case that this phone should be no less resilient than other phones.

[LaidBackDeveloper]

All those who worked on this masterpiece are legends. This device proves all the haters and skeptics WRONG!

[biggbro]

On it's third drop, I've made up my mind that this phone is really well built and worthy of it's asking price.

[Gary-vxgp]

So much more durable that I thought it would be.
That hinge really held up.

[leonfrancis]

Anyone still doubting the durability of these devices is pushing an agenda.

They're so well engineered. Haven't seen purposeful innovation in the smartphone scene like this for years.

Foldables just became mainstream.

[TechDove]

Watching this on my Fold 3, and it made me queasy lol

[griffiiin]

This is why I could comfortably buy the Fold 3. It feels like a tank when you use it, there's no doubt that this is a durable phone

[samtherat]

Makes sense, plastic scratches, doesn’t really shatter like glass does.

[patrick]

I dropped it on a concrete floor at waist height within 24hrs of my purchase! Only minor scratches on the hinge top and bottom. I had the case on, no scratches or damage to both screens. All functions tested ok.

[tatsamraipure]

The real shock to me came when you dropped it on the hinge but still the phone didn't opened. That's really tough!

[biggbro]

Great phone and well built. I was expecting it to split on the first drop. Samsung really outdone themselves with this marvel of a device.

[Wolfsv]

Good thing we have people like you that does the testing for us and we don’t have to find out the hard way

[lisaortiz]

I'm Loving my z fold 3 and to see how much it indured and still functions gives me some reassurance on the build quality ☺️

[macseven]

Incredible tech. Also great testing as always!
