Motorola’s new folding device debuts in the market and several have been interested in testing its capabilities.

After several months of waiting since it was announced, the expected Motorola Razr went on sale on February 4 in the United States. Due to its innovative design, the resistance of the screen of this new folding Smartphone, as well as other components, have attracted the attention of many users, but also raised some doubts.
There have been several websites specialized in technology, as well as ‘youtubers’, who have tested the resistance of this cell phone and thus clear the questions.
Among them, the US website Cnet tested its durability by subjecting it to a test in which, with the help of a mechanical device, they folded and continuously deployed the mobile phone until the hinge failed to reach 27,000 folds. The results of these tests were not satisfactory for the reviewers, since they expected to reach 100 thousand repetitions.
However, Motorola argued the invalidity of these tests, since they were not designed to adequately prove the durability of the hinges, since they are subjected to undue stress that does not reflect the natural wear and tear caused by everyday use. In addition, he showed in a video the tests made during the development of the Moto Razr, which simulates years of use.
For its part, youtuber Jerryrigeverything tested the resistance of the interior and exterior screen by scratching them with sharp objects, as well as exposing them to the fire of a lighter. Similarly, he tested the phone with pebbles to verify the durability of the equipment. He even folded the screen in the opposite direction to show the limits that the cell phone can support.
