Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra finally dies in bend test, unlike past models [Video]
Despite their increasingly-thin designs, Samsung’s foldables have held up well to torture tests that include more bending than you’d ever see in real life. But it seems the Galaxy Z Fold 8 UItra might finally be too thin, as it’s the first mainstream Samsung foldable that’s died in a bend test.

Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra appears to be the first mainstream foldable to fail a bend test, according to a video by YouTube channel JerryRigEverything. Previously, foldables like the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Fold 8 have shown durability under similar torture tests. The Ultra, while thinner than its predecessors, may have reached a breaking point.
In the bend test, the Ultra's hinge and frame remained intact, but the inner display failed. This is notable as the wider and previously more durable Fold 8 also passed the same bend test. Samsung's latest foldables are currently available for purchase.
