Test the durability of the first folding screen smartphone in the world: Easy to scratch, easy to crack, easy to break

Royole FlexPai is the first folding screen device in the world, launched at the end of 2018 for $ 1,300. YouTube account JerryRigEverything had the opportunity to try and test the durability of this device by putting fire on the screen, using a pen and knife to scratch the screen, edges, back face and camera.

According to the manufacturer's warnings, to ensure the durability of the Royole FlexPai this should be kept away from sharp objects, limited use at low temperatures and must not use 3rd party screen stickers.

When folded, the part of the device can fit into a pen.

To get the folding capability, the manufacturer used plastic materials to make screens for FlexPai instead of glasses. This makes the screen of the device not subject to "torture" screens and is easily scratched.

When JerryRigEverything uses a sharp object on the frame and fingerprint sensor of the device, the coating easily peels off. Although it was scratched, the fingerprint unlock function still works fine.

The FlexPai screen also failed in a fiery "torture" with the appearance of two small black spots and could not recover afterwards.

FlexPai has an inverted mechanism but JerryRigEverything has deliberately folded it inside. In this bending test, FlexPai broke the hinge, part of the screen panel was removed from the chassis, but the screen of the device could still function normally. After many times being folded in the wrong way, the screen of the machine also appeared black areas and touch stops working.
