We rigged a 3D printer to draw on the new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 with a Fold Edition S Pen continuously, 1000 circles at a time. Our experiment lasted over 18 hours, and the results might surprise you.
The archive of the livestream was lost in the ether, but here’s a recap of what went down.

    This is by far the best comment section I have ever seen. It was so worth suffering through whatever that was

    Thanks for testing the durability of the pen. Anyway it’s so good to see Bridget after a long time.

    They didn’t show what happened, don’t waste your 10 minutes on this. 100% dull.

    10 minutes video and they didn’t mention what happened to the fold.

    What a waste 🗑

    I don’t understand how they get 3 millions subscribers….

    WOW 😫😫

    God such a bad test! Whats the point of performing interesting experiments when you dont know how to present the final result? Typical corporate company! Always filling time with empty talk and never anything to show. For next time, you explain the test quickly, you show us an example, you take the phone out and show it to the camera, explain what you see, any damage on the display? is there Oled burn in from keeping the same image for 16 hours? Stuff like this is what makes the video interesting! Not 2 granny’s talking in the worlds most monotone voices for 10 mins.

    All the complaints about being bored etc just proves the youth of today have the attention span of a house fly . Doesn’t surprise me much. Ever Listen to the crap and mush they call music . Illiterate morons that have no clue what structure is and how much do you want to bet they can’t read music , let alone English . How are they going to write it. It’s a sad state the world is in and what it’s in for in the future. The movie that Luke Wilson is in is a perfect description of our future coming true . It’s called Idiocracy .

    You can stop the video at 7:40.

    Go to the 7:00 min mark of the video for the actual RESULTS, thank me later. Video was unnecessarily long.

    Didn’t CNET say large screen phones wouldn’t catch on when the first Note came out?

    Love how everyone is talking about the same thing, it’s true, but let’s give the guy some credit because his rig and the experiment is interesting.

    7:00 that slow monotonous whirring in the background is the perfect soundtrack for this video.

  46. Ryan Carter

    September 4, 2021 at 7:59 pm

    This video is legitimately 11 minutes too long. The fact that the premise, “what happened” is never answered, is just salt in the wound.

    When I’m old and laying on my deathbed, one of my biggest regrets in life will be the fact I wasted 11 minutes and twelve seconds on this video.

  49. Ben The Collector

    Does he realize how his voice slowly goes down to inaudible and monotone? I’m sure his a nice guy but speaking in videos should not be in his job description.

    Not a very good test considering heat buildup will wear down the tip faster than normal use.

    With that said, I can’t believe I even tried to watch this after seeing it was 10+ minutes

  52. Art C

    HALF way through the video and the test still hasn’t begin.

  53. BW T

    6:46 he says nothing happened to the sceen, would check the screen every hour. Was as good as brand new out of the box. Spen however had a bent tip. Yer welcome 🙏

    Let me give you an advice CNET, please write a script before recording videos like this.

    If I edit this video, I could remove more than half of its time due the fact that there is nothing new being said and that the guy speaks so slowly and without direction to any new thought ou discussion that it kills me to watch this.

  78. Seng

    September 7, 2021 at 5:53 am

    Let me save you all 10 minutes of sheer boredom. The screen was fine, as good as new after all 16000 circles, however, the pen tip wore out once during the process and needed to be replaced.

  80. alex Motts

    September 7, 2021 at 6:33 am

    This is a result of dragging a video out over 10 min just to get more views and giving 0 Fs about your audience. 👎👎👎👎👎👎 (fart noise)

    Dude you’re at like a 2. Need to be more like an 8.

    September 7, 2021 at 10:07 pm

    Way to ask and (not really) answer a question absolutely no one was asking! 🙌🏻

    It’s a FOLD phone. People are only concerned about what folding the phone multiple times is going to do to the screen. And let me tell you, I saw a demo model on display the other day, and it was already creased beyond repair. I asked the rep why they were even leaving out that demo, and he said, “ That’s not the worst of it. That’s the third Time we’ve had to replace it in just a few days.” 🥴🥴🥴😂😂😂

    Don’t waste your money. The technology is NOT ready. You might as well buy a barrel of flat-pack Samsung lithium batteries, and hover your balls over them.
