Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold Fails Durability Tests
Samsung's new Galaxy Z TriFold phone, which can fold in three ways, was tested to see how strong it is.
The test showed that the phone's screens get scratched easily and can be damaged by fire.
The phone's hinges also had trouble with dirt and dust.
When the phone was bent, the screen broke and went black.
This means the phone might not be as tough as Samsung says it is.

Fire test damaged both displays, with inner screen failing after 10 seconds.
