It has even gone as far as to build a robot to test whether the Galaxy Fold can outlast 200,000 folds and unfolds (or around five years of use, if used 100 times a day). The South Korean smartphone maker has released a video of the test, which reportedly took a full week to complete. The video shows the robot repeatedly folding and unfolding six Galaxy Fold phones, with close-up shots of the flexible display showing no visible crease.

The Samsung Galaxy Fold is due to hit shelves on Friday May 3, 2019 , with pre-orders opening a week earlier on April 26.
