Get a behind-the-scenes look at CNET Labs, where our team of engineers built a machine that folds and unfolds phones exactly like a human would, and measures exactly how many folds a folding phone can be folded. How many folds will the iPhone Duo handle?

why do not test like z fold 1??😂😂😂
Anyone here remember the torture machine the Z fold 1 went through? Pretty sure that machine died before the phone did lmfao This feels more like gentle caresses than an actual test.
Test like z fold 1 man
Looks like Jerry Rig has competition
This didn't age well. How many 100s of duos have broken within hours?
how to check how many times i have pressed the power button on my pixel?
Please also stop it at set intervals and test the depth profile of the hinge indentation and what it looks like under a few different controlled lighting situations. Thanks!
the inner display contact point needs to be more dispersed. Seems like itll add a lot of pressure.
Doesn't need to be chambered and cooled to account for the heat generated by constant motion?
How many folds does it take to get to the center of smartphone hinge. 🦉📱
폴드1하고 똑같은 조건으로 진행하세요 사기네
2:10 watching him not use a ratchet spanner correctly is fun...
왜 왜 z폴드1처럼 안해?
You’re testing it so gently lol special?
7년전 과 다르게 아주 느리게 해주는군요
Joanna Stern beat you to it 😂
What if your machine breaks before that 😅???
Why aren't they testing it the way they did with the Fold 1?
I think a factor that these tests are leaving out is friction. Open/close/open/close that many times, and that quick in succession, is generating heat and potentially wearing components out significantly faster than the same amount of folds at a normal usage pace would. Whatever number they come up with, it's not like every Duo has that same exact finite number of folds before it breaks, you know?
