Vivo X Fold: Design and processing of a folding hinge

In this case, the brand also emphasizes the hinge of its first folding smartphone. He comes with a design of wing equipment from the aviation industry. Test from TUV Rheinland tried to fold this hinge overall up 300 times, to verify its resilience. This means that if the future user folds the device 80 times a day, the folding mechanism will remain functional for 10 years.
