- A YouTuber is currently folding and unfolding the Galaxy Z Fold 7 live on YouTube.
- The phone has already survived over 160,000 folds.
- The goal of the YouTuber is to manually fold the device 200,000 times and see if it survives.
Update: August 5, 2025 (12:57 AM ET): The YouTuber has now surpassed 160,000 folds and shared some noteworthy findings along the way. Between 6,000 and 10,000 folds, the YouTuber reports that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 experienced a reboot error. At around 46,000 folds, a creaking sound began coming from the hinge. After 75,000 folds, an unidentified liquid was seen seeping from the hinge area. Despite these issues, the device showed no dead pixels on the inner display even after 150,000 folds, and the touchscreen remained fully functional. The only persistent issue was the hinge creaking sound.
