Samsung’s Newest 7.6″ Foldable Panel Achieves MIL-STD 810G Certification
In a groundbreaking achievement, Samsung has officially announced that its 7.6-inch foldable panel, reminiscent of the one featured in the Galaxy Z Fold5, has successfully passed the rigorous US Department of Defense Test Method Standard, commonly known as MIL-STD 810G. This esteemed military-grade certification validates the panel’s ability to function flawlessly in challenging conditions, including extreme temperature variations and external shocks.

Samsung Display proudly asserts its position as the world’s first company to attain this notable certification for foldable OLED panels. Each product undergoing this stringent test must demonstrate resilience in demanding scenarios, such as functioning after enduring a 6 mm ice sheet for four hours following water exposure at -10 degrees Celsius.
Further stress tests involve the panel’s ability to continue operating within ambient temperature fluctuations ranging from -32 to +63 degrees Celsius for two hours each – all tests are repeated three times. The panel has proven its durability by withstanding 26 drops from a height of 4 feet (1.22 meters, representing real-world usage height) and enduring 10.5G pressure through high-speed rotations.
A representative from Samsung Display emphasized that foldable devices are not lacking in durability, dispelling a common misconception. The MIL-STD 810G certification is anticipated to pave the way for broader applications of foldable panels in various industries in the near future. Stay tuned for the exciting developments that this certification may unlock for Samsung’s foldable technology.
Pokdepinion: This is a huge step in ensuring consistency between standard and foldables moving forward. Of course, this is under the assumption all the panels will be the same but if you’re paying a premium, one would naturally expect that to be the case.
