They could have hooked the phone up to a windscreen wiper motor (a high torque motor with a crank arm) and left it to run for a few hours, that would have given them about 10,000 open/close cycles. But no, it’s “let’s hang a 5kg weight off it and use the phone as a bit of a hammer”.

Someone did a fully manual (literally had people sit there opening and closing the phones for ages) comparison of the Z Flip5 and the razr 40 last year. It was still kinda flawed in the sense that no one actually sits there doing that so quickly in real life, but at least the stress on the hinge and screen was more appropriate. They came up with a total count for each device before malfunction and the Z Flip won by a fair margin while the Motorola performed well under its advertised minimum fold number.
