Truth Behind the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip Folding Display By MobileTechReview

This is Lisa from mobile tech review and, oh, my god was a difficult weekend. Our new little friend had the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip the latest folding phone on the market, so it came out on February, 14th Friday and over the weekend, of course, the YouTubers who specialized in basically destroying phones, went to town destroying the phones. So the challenge jury-rigged everything who attacks phone displays with Moss hardness, picks to see just how scratch, while they are and gave it a go and discovered it was just as scratch. Well as the Samsung Galaxy fold, even though this has a folding, glass or ultra-thin, glass display abbreviated to you, tg4 ultra-thin glass, and then he poked it even harder and the pixels underneath were damaged in the Öland substrates. So that made you think. Maybe this wasn't glass so sim.

Everybody posted the news on the tech journalists this weekend and Samsung. Respondents said yes and really is ultra-thin glass, but here's where they could have done better. Yes, it has a polymer layer over the top, just like the Samsung Galaxy fold, and that is pretty easy to scratch. If you're unwise, and you've got your fingernail into it, you will leave a mark underneath there is a layer of ultra-thin glass. They say this and in fact, if you don't believe me, it's there's proof on the internet, as there always is of these things.

One user Amir shared on Twitter, he's a god defect. The one looks like in the center crease area, just cracked, the first time he folded it so Samsung concierge service, apparently I, hear it gave him a new one in like 24 hours, and I'm sure they're trying to figure it out, cracked in a classic grass glass way and then there's a channel called PBA. That takes things apart too, and he actually separated the layers of the display, and you can see the top layer is indeed that polymer and then there is a glass layer, that's a shatter once you really start to abuse it and then a metal layer behind it. So that's the story, so ok Samsung thin line. That's great! So what's what's wrong with all this well, and this is hard for companies to do.

I wouldn't want to be Samsung, but they're, saying boohoo, it's the first glass display and promoting it and not telling you what that means. Why? What's the point of doing it, then if it's still pretty fragile stuff? Well, it has greater clarity, so you get richer blacks. You get richer colors as well, and it doesn't feel so elastically under the finger. That's the those are the benefits right there, but given how thin it is it's thinner than a human hair, this glass layer it can still damage pretty easily. So it's the same story as with awful.

Well phones do not poke at it. Do not abuse it again. If you watched mine, Samsung Galaxy fold for a month later review, you know that it would some care. It actually is fine, but you know who you are: do you work in the construction industry? Do you install sprinklers for a living? Probably not gonna, be the phone for you, because it's really hard to avoid grit and particles. They're going to get on the screen and your fingers are going to grind it into the screen.

Okay, so there's that here's, how Samsung could have done it better, they could have said it has foldable glass for better clarity and better colors and better feel, thereby not mentioning durability. If you just go and say it has a glass despite to most smartphone users, that confers a level of durability that actually isn't here again, it's not easy being them. But you know you don't want me to say here. Here's our latest super delicate product, either right, but I'll give you this. They do have an overlay protector on the screen that you are supposed to remove that, in fact, just like the galaxy phone says, do not poke at the screen.

Do not use pens on the screen, so they do provide a warning, but the marketing materials don't give you a clue as ever. If the screen is defective, as in the case of the one that cracked on the first vault then Samsung replaces it under their one-year warranty. But if you damage it through your own mishaps, in this doing then they'll charge you $119 in the first year. I, don't know how much it's going to cost after that. So a little insurance there's been worried that they might even provide an extra screen protector on top of what effectively is a screen protector layer.

If you're super-duper worried about it, I wouldn't, and you're not supposed to put your own adhesive screen protectors on their yeah and for those who are wondering about the technology. Underneath there are a couple of companies that Samsung has partnered with for ultra-thin glass. We don't know exactly which one is the provider I actually have a meeting with Samsung tomorrow that happened to be in our town, so that's convenient whenever I find out I'll either make a community poster on Twitter to follow me on Twitter or if it's fascinating, I'll make another video about that. This is the state of the industry plastic layer on top ultra-thin glass and then underneath that you have the actually OLED layer which can be applied either to glass or to bendable plastic. Both of those are perfectly permissible materials to apply the OF leads to that actually make the pretty colors and all that sort of thing and, of course, there's a touch being layered.

Two. It's actually remarkable if you watch my motor razor first look, you can see actually because they don't anchor the screen now how thin, even that screen, is, and to think that there's so much going on I'm Lisa from mobile tech review be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel for cool and useful tech videos and hit the notification.
