Samsung's Foldable OLED Panel Passes Durability Test
Samsung has created a new foldable screen for phones that can be folded and unfolded many times.
The screen was tested to see how long it would last, and it passed a test of 500,000 folds.
This screen is used in the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and is designed to be like bulletproof glass.
It uses special materials and a strong, thin titanium plate to protect it from damage.
This means the phone's screen should last a long time, even with a lot of use.
Samsung announced its latest foldable OLED panel can withstand 500,000 folds in a durability test.
The testing was conducted by Bureau Veritas, a certification company.
The panel is built into the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7.
The new OLED panel design is inspired by bulletproof glass, with shock-resistant architecture.
The device's potential lifespan is estimated at over six years for those who fold the device over 200 times per day.
