I am really surprised with all that force applied to the hinge, that it didn't obliterate into a two piece mess.

Hinge 1 Zach 0

Hinge really is impressive. Inner screen scratches at 2 still isn't nice to see though. If the film can resist a human nail one day I can see these becoming the norm, as there is no inconvenience getting it periodically replaced.

He seems to be getting some competition now that goes so extreme in testing. Tough little phones, so painful to watch.

Baffling how people can do this to a phone and it works after when I've struggled with just coastal spray in the air while in my pocket being an issue. I'm sure it's actually just something trapped in the port as it sometimes works and didn't get wet. I don't see them try and charge though after so maybe that's the thing.

Seen a couple of videos of the middle screen failing flickering on one side just using it but on the whole nothing but widespread praise for the thinness (With caveat of S Pen). Imagine it's just a sporadic manufacturing defect you might get with a very limited number of any device, just unlucky it was an influencer. Could only find this one again. https://youtu.be/zFv_Tk8D1vo?si=8VHPrEOlfj9gnG7N
