Samsung made big strides with last year\u2019s foldables<\/a> in terms of durability \u2014 the Z Flip 3 and Z Fold 3 were the first devices in the series to offer serious water resistance and an IPX8 rating. This year\u2019s phones aren\u2019t a whole lot tougher, but the Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4 are still something of an engineering marvel. We got a glimpse at the foldable assembly line last year, and as the newest Flip and Fold go on sale today, Samsung is giving us another peek at how the sausage is made. And it\u2019s pretty flippin\u2019 cool.<\/p>\n

The video \u2014 spotted by XDA Developers<\/em><\/a> \u2014 mostly features the Fold 4, starting from the moment its back cover is pressed into place and ending with a look at the folding phone dunk tank. Along the way, various functions are tested, like its response to the S Pen and wireless connectivity. It gets a camera autofocus test by bringing a grid of white lights into focus, and another robot presses its side keys repeatedly \u2014 kind of rude, really.<\/p>\n
