A durability test was performed on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip, a new folding smartphone. The test found that the phone's display is not made of real glass, as claimed by Samsung, but rather a plastic material that scratches easily. The display scratched at a level 3 with a Mohs hardness test, similar to other plastic screens. The phone's frame is made of metal, and the rear panels are made of real glass. The test also found that the phone's hinge is resilient and can withstand bending and flexing, but the display is still fragile and can be damaged by pressure or punctures. The test concludes that Samsung should correct its marketing language and not claim that the phone has a glass screen, as this may give users a false sense of security.
