How Motorola tested the durability of the Razr’s foldable screen
The new Motorola Razr joins a wave of second-generation foldable phones. The new Razr has a better build, refined design and a host of software improvements to take advantage of its unique design. At the core of the phone is a 6.2-inch foldable screen that Motorola claims can be folded open and closed 200,000 times.…

I mean doing 54 folds a day you would hit 200,000 in ten years. I’d be questionable whether or not the battery could hold up for ten years or if 5G will be the current standard. Most people get a new phone at least every four years, you would have to open and close it 136 times a day.

And this is me, watching another review of a phone I will never buy.

A string is not our hands. Is that a valid test?

Well at least Motorolas way of testing is better then the BS Cnet did. The way Cnet did it was by pure force. Which will break the phone like someone smashing the phone in to the floor…. The trust in Cnet is at the lowest….. At least the company itself behind the phone know how to test there own phone.

While I agree the CNET’s test was a bit to harsh, the Galaxy Fold fared a lot better. Which basically goes to show that yes, the machine at CNET was harsh, but there are manufacturers like Samsung that went above and beyond for durability.

HJL1130 the testing machine was designed for that phone in mind. They just used it for the Motorola.

355 microns is not 3.5mm. It is 0.355mm….

Lol. Right. Imagine a 3.5 mm thickness for the screen 🤣😂

The testing is like opening the phone in both hand very gently. Whereas in reality, most people will do that with one hand and with one finger inserts in between and flips that open. The will create a lot more pressure to the hinge…

I really like the idea of bringing back flip phones while improving the smartphone software. No need for a bunch of phone cases if the phones close off the screen and is durable enough for daily use. I’m just waiting on an iOS flip of some sort.

Would like to know whether the test phones survived AFTER open and closing 200,000 times?
Did Motorola tried to fold and unfold beyond 200,000 times?
At which point did the phones fail/start showing issues?

I dont get it why the folding phone its better with normal phones

Motorola is a Chinese company now. So durability and quality would be poor. Will never trust a Chinese company with my data. Wish Motorola was never sold to the Chinese

Buy no brainer bullet proof cash rich companies:
I bought Amazon, Apple, Nvidia, Zoom, Facebook, Microsoft, Google, Wells Fargo, Netflix
TRUST THE PROCESS.
The stock market goes up in the long term
because it takes 2 steps forward for every 1 step backward.
There’s a lot of money on the sidelines, and new 401K money

This is just an ad for the Razr. I still don’t understand why cnet’s test was 25k+ and razr is 200k+…are they testing it properly?

The cnet test was for the past generation, the new one may last longer. Nevertheless, motorola did say the last one would last longer, I think 100k flips, so perhaps the cnet tests was harsher/more realistic. They need to do it again with the new generation to really know

I bought a Motorola Phone last year.
I have a love for Motorola since I grew up near Sunrise FL.
The Phone Sucked!! Took it back because of the issues, got another of the same and the same problem.
The phone will all of the sudden have a mind of its own.
It seem to happen when I came from my Air conditioned house to the hot outside weather.
Too bad..
