A few days after conducting his now-famous "durability test" on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4, YouTuber Zack from the JerryRigEverything channel is back with the expected follow-up: the deconstruction. You can watch the entire thing in the attached video below.
This kind of video is perfect for you if you prefer to see the insides of phones to how they appear on the outside. The Fold4 is more exciting than a typical slab-style phone because it can be folded, and Samsung claims to have improved the hinge. Ist das so? View the video for yourself to see.
The flexible inner screen of the Galaxy Z Fold4 is made up of several layers, all of which are exposed during the deconstruction at the risk of the display never functioning again. Although the screen may be good with folding in one direction, it surely doesn't enjoy being folded in any other direction. A new metal plate and cutout for the under-display camera are also present underneath the display assembly.
The metal frame that houses the outer screen's glass is inlaid, making removal very difficult without damaging it. However, after removing dozens of screws, all of the internal components are accessible once the screens have been removed. There are no pull tabs and heavy amounts of adhesive holding the batteries in place, making battery removal difficult.and replacement more of a chore than it needs to be.
