Several leaks said that Samsung would use a special Ultra-Thin Glass (UTG) on top of the Galaxy Z Flip’s OLED screen instead of plastic, and Samsung confirmed it all on stage last week during its first Unpacked event of the year. The Z Flip is Samsung’s first foldable that features a foldable glass display, which is a significant milestone for foldable devices. But now that the Z Flip has reached consumers, the first screen durability tests are out, and they don’t paint a pretty picture. The Galaxy Z Flip seems to be just as prone to scratching and piercing as its predecessor, according to a recent video. Moreover, videos emerged of Z Flip units that cracked at the crease right out of the box, which is definitely not what you’d want from your foldable phone. However, it’s not all bad news as Samsung’s UTG isn’t just marketing. The Galaxy Fold’s successor has a much better build quality, and there’s a reason why that screen is still susceptible to damage.
