Smartphone producers seem to think consumers will be impressed by their ratings of 400,000+ folds, performed in a more controlled setting and most likely by a machine designed to fold the smartphone only in the way it was intended. But machines aren’t human.
Humans have been known to break things just by “looking” at them. Of course, we all seem to think we look with our hands, and often forget our hands are strong enough to break what we “look at.” It’s almost instinctual for us to bend something until it breaks. Foldable smartphones are no exception, and our team of volunteers with Mrkeybrd (aka Kuba Klawiter) are ready to embrace that great human tradition for a second summer in a row. We will flip and fold the newest Galaxy Z Flip 5 until it begs for mercy!
As misery loves company, the new foldable Motorola RAZR will be tested alongside the Z Flip 5 to see who will break first. That’s right - two foldable smartphones, two rotating folders, and an unknown amount of time to livestream the whole event.
