than most foldables can manage.

FULL STORY
======================================================================The 
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7's display has been tested to remain functional after 
500,000 folds That's up from just 200,000 with the Galaxy Z Fold 6 However, 
it's just half of what the OnePlus Open can manage 

Samsung has made a big leap with the durability of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 
7 , as the company has announced that the display panel used by this phone 
will remain fully functional after being folded 500,000 times. 

Thats up from just 200,000 times with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 , so this 
particular aspect of the Z Fold 7 should be more than twice as durable as the 
previous model. In practice, 500,000 folds translates to over 10 years of use 
for the average user (which Samsung describes as someone who folds the device 
around 100 times a day), and more than six years of use for heavy users, i.e. 
those who fold it more like 200 times a day. 

Even the latter of those figures is longer than most people hold onto their 
phones for, so this should make for a reassuring upgrade. 

Samsung explains that this improvement was made possible by a newly developed 
shock-resistant structure, inspired by the design principles of bulletproof 
glass, and that it was put to the test by Bureau Veritas (a global testing, 
inspection, and certification company). Better than most, but not all The 
OnePlus Open (Image credit: Future) 

So, that all sounds very promising, and should mean the Galaxy Z Fold 7 has 
most rival devices beat on this front too, as they tend to be rated for 
between 200,000 and 400,000 folds. 

However, one rival it doesnt have beat is the OnePlus Open , which remarkably 
has been certified by TV Rheinland to offer reliable folding for 1,000,000 
folds. 

With that in mind, its all the more disappointing that there wont be a 
OnePlus Open 2 this year . But if youre one of the many people who upgrade 
their phone at least every few years, then Samsungs device should still offer 
more durability than youll need on this front. You might also like The
