One of the most important questions surrounding foldable smartphones is how durable they are, especially when it comes to hinges and displays.

To find out just how durable Motorola’s recently released (at least in the U.S.) Razr actually is, CNET tasked a robot with folding the smartphone until it started to experience issues.

The publication used the same machine to test the Razr as it did with Samsung’s Galaxy Fold last October. In that case, the Fold died after 120,000 continuous, quick folds, with the hinge falling apart.

And… we’re done! The Razr put on a good show, but ~27,000 folds later, it stopped closing all the way
