Samsung Displays Passes MIL-STD 810G Tests, Proving Durability of Foldable Screens

Apple may have expressed doubts about the durability of Samsung’s foldable displays, but Samsung is determined to prove them wrong. After Apple reportedly tested and was unimpressed by the pliable panels, Samsung has stepped up its game to showcase the durability of its foldable screens.

Here are some key points to consider:

– Samsung’s 7-inch foldable screen has become the first to pass the U.S. Department of Defense recognized military standard MIL-STD 810G tests.
– The testing involved extreme temperature conditions and rough usage, simulating daily wear and tear, and the foldable panel operated normally even after being subjected to freezing temperatures and repeated temperature changes.
– Devices equipped with Samsung’s foldable panel were dropped 26 times from waist height at various angles with no issues.
– The first MIL-STD 810G-certified foldable display with a plastic substrate was demonstrated in Samsung’s Flex In-N-Out prototype device.

Samsung is now facing stiff competition in the foldable phone realm from major Chinese makers. However, it has come a long way since the initial Fold screen debacle. As for Apple, the need for a foldable iPhone seems far off, giving them time to wait and see where the market goes in terms of price and durability of foldable displays.

The certification by MIL-STD 810G tests shows that Samsung’s foldable screens are durable and can withstand extreme conditions. This could be a game-changer in the world of smartphones and solidify Samsung’s position as a leader in innovative display technology.
