Story summary

OMG_electronics tested Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold to verify the 200,000-fold claim, finding the left hinge creaked after 61,000 folds and the right after 121,000.
By 144,000 folds, the hinges lost elasticity and became harder to operate, while screen remained functional.
An eight-day test suggests the TriFold may not meet Samsung's lab standards but could perform in daily use.
The device is expected to launch in the US in early 2026.
