- JerryRigEverything dismantled the Galaxy Z Flip 7 in a teardown, revealing its complex hinge and layered screen design.
- The inner display didn’t survive removal, but the cover screen kept working mid-teardown.
- Samsung’s foldable still lets dust in, though the removable batteries and Phillips head screws are welcome on the repairability front.
We’ve already seen the Galaxy Z Flip 7 hold up surprisingly well in JerryRigEverything’s bend test. Now the YouTuber is back, and this time he’s taking things a step further by pulling Samsung’s latest clamshell foldable apart to see what’s inside.
Early in the Z Flip 7 teardown, he highlights the chunky bumpers surrounding the 6.9-inch folding display. They have some aesthetic merit, but their main job is to keep debris from sneaking into the layered screen and to stop the two halves from pressing against each other when shut. Removing the inner screen proved as fragile as ever, and it gave out in the process, but the smaller cover display kept running even as screws and cables were being pulled out around it.
