Update: The OPPO Find N3 Flip can survive up to 1 million folds!
OPPO previously said that the hinge design of the Find N3 Flip can survive up to 600,000 folds. Apparently, it is even better than that.

Up to 1 million folds!
According to the company, they have updated its folding certification from 600,000 to 1,000,000 flips for a "seamless crease" even for long-term use.
To recap, Germany's TÜV Rheinland for Reliable Folding originally tested the device for 600,000 folds with 16 years of usage when folded 100 times a day.
This means that we can easily add another 6 years of life (a total of more than 22 years of usage) to its folding display before it experiences more prominent creasing or even damaged display.
Its new 1 million folding certification matches the number of folds of the book-type Find N3—the highest number of folds certified on any foldable smartphone yet.
The industry standard is just 200K folds.

To achieve this feat, the OPPO Find N3 Flip uses dual-friction plates, a core of aerospace-grade MIM stainless steel, and an overall upgraded Seiko quasi-vertical Flexion Hinge for a zero-gap hinge that equals to a near crease-less display when unfolded.
Aside from its folding tests, I personally saw in China how OPPO tested their foldable smartphones in real life and even extreme scenarios like drop tests, water spray tests, and even back pocket sitting tests, to name a few.
Anyway, the OPPO Find N3 Flip is available in the Philippines for PHP 64,999 SRP.
