Motorola yesterday launched its new "Razr" phone for sale, allowing those looking to try the modern fully foldable version of this popular classic phone. However, a new test of durability raised serious doubts about the longevity of the $ 1,500 phone.
CNet, a tech-savvy website, used an automatic folding device to find out how many times Motorola Razr endures the folding before it shows signs of impact. Unfortunately, he did not seem to tolerate much, as it has become almost impossible to fold after registering 27,000 folds, which is not a large number.
The CNet site also had the same test on the Samsung Galaxy Fold foldable phone last year, and the phone recorded 120,000 folds before it showed signs of damage.
As Engadget website, concerned with technology, points out, a study published in the New York Post says that the American citizen examines his phone at a rate of eighty times a day, and assuming that Razr is opened at this rate, the device will remain valid for 337.5 days only before signs of damage begin to appear on it. .
Of course, Razr also has an external screen that can be checked for specific information without opening the phone hinge, which means that the usability of it without damage may exceed the barrier of the year.
It is noteworthy that the characteristics of this test, which was conducted by the website CNET, make the phones break down faster than they should be. The "FoldBot" device used in the test repeats opening and closing the phone, which generates high heat, causing more damage, compared to the same number of opening and folding the phone, but in a longer period of time, although the "FullBot" device was not completely modified for use with the Razr phone, but C Net is still confident that its test is useful.
On the other hand, the Motorola Razr phone may have other problems, as some have found that the joint makes strange noises, and another test has found that the phone has a relatively short battery life, according to the Toms Guide website on technical affairs.
