[Video] Behind the Scenes of Samsung’s Rigorous Reliability Tests for Galaxy Z Flip5 & Galaxy Z Fold5
The Galaxy Z Flip5 and Galaxy Z Fold5 are the thinnest, most aesthetically balanced Galaxy Z series yet, but they have also been carefully designed to meet the durability needs of users.
Before moving from the production line to a user’s pocket, these flexible devices are put through a series of rigorous reliability tests to ensure they can stand the test of time for any lifestyle and meet the highest standards possible. Both the Galaxy Z Flip5 and Galaxy Z Fold5 are carefully designed to meet durability expectations.
The main screen is equipped with a shock dispersion layer and a redesigned back for a more solid display1. Along with IPX82 support, Armor Aluminium frames, and Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus® 23 applied to both the Flex Window and back cover4, Galaxy Z Flip5 and Galaxy Z Fold5 provide the protection consumers expect, enhanced further by Flex Hinge. This new integrated hinge module features a dual rail structure, diffusing external impacts.
The Galaxy Z Flip5 and Fold5 have advance these efforts – featuring a wider variety of recycled materials5 in more internal and external components than previous Galaxy Z series smartphones. Not only did Samsung add more types of recycled materials used in each device, but it also more than doubled the amount of device components that use a minimum of 10% post-consumer recycled plastic or pre-consumer recycled glass, or an average of 22% pre-consumer recycled glass. Both the Galaxy Z Flip5 and Fold56 use recycled materials in 15 device components, an increase from six (6) internal components in the Galaxy Z Flip4 and Fold4.
The Galaxy Z Flip5 and Fold5 feature7 a wider variety of recycled materials than their previous generations, including pre-consumer recycled glass and aluminium and post-consumer recycled plastics, sourced from discarded fishing nets, water barrels and PET bottles. Even the paper used for their packaging box8 is made using 100 percent recycled material9. These innovations have also been purposefully designed for optimised longevity. Each device comes with five years of security updates and four generations of OS upgrades, helping to extend the product lifecycle.
The minimal, sleek appearance housing specialised hinge functionality emphasises Samsung’s commitment and the inherent beauty of essential design. The new Flex Hinge makes the foldable experience possible, while offering an aesthetically balanced and solid design. Check out the video below to learn how every element of Samsung’s latest foldables have been purposefully engineered to provide the incredible versatility expected from Galaxy Z series along with the durability that offers peace of mind.

Disclaimers:
1 Terms & Conditions Apply. Compared to previous Galaxy Z Fold and Galaxy Z Flip models.
2 Based on lab test conditions for submersion in up to 1.5 meters of freshwater for up to 30 minutes. Not advised for beach or pool use. Rinse residue/dry if wet. Water and dust resistance of device is not permanent and may diminish over time because of normal wear and tear.
3 Pre-Consumer Recycled Content: Discarded glass waste generated as a by-product of glass manufacturing. This glass waste is crushed into cullet and then used as a component in the Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus® 2 manufacturing process.
4 Galaxy Z Flip5’s Cover Screen is the first in the Galaxy Z Flip series with a proximity sensor and first Galaxy Z Flip Cover Screen to support HBM. Galaxy Z Flip5’s Cover Screen HBM has a peak brightness of 1600nits for a brighter and clearer display.
5 Types of recycled materials include post-consumer recycled PA sourced from discarded fishing nets, post-consumer recycled PBT sourced from discarded PET bottles, post-consumer recycled PC sourced from water barrels and pre-consumer recycled aluminium sourced from discarded scrap material generated as a by-product during manufacturing. The scrap metal is re-melted, filtered for impurities and then recycled to make parts within Samsung’s manufacturing process. There is also pre-consumer recycled glass sourced from discarded glass waste generated as a by-product of glass manufacturing. This glass waste is crushed into cullet and then used as a component in the Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus® 2 manufacturing process.
6 Galaxy Z Flip5: 15 device components that feature a minimum of 10% post-consumer recycled material plastic or pre-consumer recycled aluminium, or an average of 22% pre-consumer recycled glass. These components include Volume Key Bracket, Speaker Module (Upper & Lower), Rear Top, Display Connector Cap, FPCB RF Cable Bracket, Rear Mid, Case Front (Main), Case Front (Sub), Volume Key, Finger Key Bracket, Receiver Deco, Connector to Connector Holder, SIM Tray, Sub Window, Back Glass. (Galaxy Z Flip4: 6 device components). The above measurements are based on weight.
Galaxy Z Fold5: 15 device components that feature a minimum of 10% post-consumer recycled material plastic or pre-consumer recycled aluminium, or an average of 22% pre-consumer recycled glass. These components include Volume Key FPCB Bracket, Top Speaker Module (Upper & Lower), Bottom Speaker Module (Upper & Lower), Cover Display Connector, Case Front (Main), Case Front (Sub), Antenna (Sub), Antenna (Main), Volume Key, Finger Key Bracket, SIM Tray, Connector to Connector Holder, Camera Deco (Top & Bottom), Sub Window, Back Glass. (Galaxy Z Fold4: 6 device components). The above measurements are based on weight.
7 Types of recycled materials include post-consumer recycled PA sourced from discarded fishing nets, post-consumer recycled PBT sourced from discarded PET bottles, post-consumer recycled PC sourced from water barrels and pre-consumer recycled aluminium sourced from discarded scrap material generated as a by-product during manufacturing. The scrap metal is re-melted, filtered for impurities and then recycled to make parts within Samsung’s manufacturing process. There is also pre-consumer recycled content sourced from discarded glass waste generated as a by-product of glass manufacturing. This glass waste is crushed into cullet and then used as a component in the Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus® 2 manufacturing process.
8 100% recycled paper is used in the following packaging components: the Product Packaging Unit Box, Cover Protector, Manual Box, Manual Pad, and DLC Band.
