Several days later and over 400,000 folds later, the Great Folding Test Vol. II is finally over. Youtube channel Mrkeybrd showed a multi-day live stream during which the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 collided with the Motorola Razr 40 Ultra (aka Razr+).

The Galaxy Z Flip5 was the last phone standing, after a whopping 401,156 folds. There were a few issues along the way, about halfway through (223,000 folds) the zipper lost its ability to hold corners half closed. However, the phone continued to huff up to the 400K mark.

The final count: Galaxy Z Flip5 dead after 401,156 folds, Razr 40 Ultra after only 126,367 folds

Samsung is officially advertising only 200,000 folds, verified using machines. The company puts things into perspective like this: 200,000 folds is 100 folds a day for 5 years. On purpose, Mrkeybrd he explains that performing the test by hand is more difficult over the phone since humans are not as accurate as robots, the robots neatly folding the phone with perfect alignment and even force.

For comparison, the Moto Razr 40 Ultra failed much earlier: it died at just 126,266 cycles.
