Factory defect found in Samsung foldable smartphones

Reddit users complained about a manufacturing defect in the Galaxy Z Fold 4 foldable smartphone, which Samsung refused to acknowledge. This was reported by PhoneArena.

Journalists noticed a publication on the site about problems with the Galaxy Z Fold 4 hinge. According to the owner of the device, the device stopped opening completely due to dust stuck in the hinge. Other gadget owners found the same problem.

According to the owner of the phone under the nickname ahmed1smael, it took him four hours to remove dust and small debris, after which the smartphone began to open normally. Reddit visitors noted that Samsung does not comment on the fact of the breakdown and does not recognize the defect as warranty.

“Yes, I have the same problem and they want to charge me money for repairs. This is absolute nonsense,” said a user under the nickname Rocket3431. “I think that Fold 4 was the worst in recent times,” said the author under the nickname thesilentyak. Other users noted that in the case of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5, the brand’s new phone, no such problems were observed.

At the end of March, Korean insiders reported that Apple had postponed the release of its first foldable smartphone. The release of the foldable iPhone should not be released until 2027.
