Watch: How Samsung Tests the Galaxy Z Fold8
10-11-2026
Go behind the scenes at Samsung’s Gumi factory to discover how the Galaxy Z Fold8 undergoes rigorous assembly, inspection and real-world durability testing.
Durability is not an afterthought in the making of Samsung’s Galaxy Z series. It is a consideration that shapes every stage of its development, from engineering and design to manufacturing and quality assurance. Samsung Electronics is bringing this commitment into focus with two behind-the-scenes videos offering a closer look at how the Galaxy Z Fold8 is assembled and tested at its manufacturing facility in Gumi, South Korea.
The first video takes viewers onto the main manufacturing line, where Galaxy Z Fold8 devices move through final assembly, inspection and packaging. Every stage involves careful attention to detail, with checks in place to ensure each device meets Samsung’s manufacturing and quality standards before it makes its way to consumers.
The second video ventures into Samsung’s Automation Lab, where automated systems put the devices through a series of functional and quality checks. Designed around real-world usage scenarios, these tests examine how the foldables perform under repeated use, helping identify potential issues and verify that different components and functions work as intended.
These processes form part of Samsung’s broader approach to foldable durability, which extends well beyond the manufacturing floor. The latest Galaxy Z Series has undergone more than 100 reliability validation tests covering real-world conditions, including drops, repeated folding, pressure, moisture and debris. Sunghoon Moon, Executive Vice President and Senior Executive of Mobile R&D Office – Hardware, Mobile eXperience (MX) Business at Samsung Electronics said in an interview in July 2026 of the durability tests: “Our goal was to understand how the complete device performs in everyday use, identify potential issues before they reach customers and build foldables people can trust.”
With eight generations of foldable innovation behind it, Samsung’s approach remains anchored in building devices that can keep up with the demands of everyday life.
