Hey everyone, Galaxy Commander here! For those new to the world of foldables, there are a few simple tips and tricks that can help keep your device in great shape for years to come. Here’s a quick list of good habits every foldable owner should know!

Take Care of Your Battery
Use Adaptive Battery settings (Settings > Battery > Background Usage Limits > tap the three dots on the top right > enable Adaptive Battery), avoid excessive heat where possible, and top up your device when convenient rather than constantly running it down to 0%.

Leave the Screen Protector On
The factory-installed screen protector is specially designed for the foldable display. Avoid removing it, and if it needs replacement, do visit the Samsung Experience Store for assistance.

Invest in Protection
A good case helps protect your device from everyday bumps and scratches. For extra peace of mind, do consider Samsung Care+ for accidental damage coverage.

Be Gentle with the Hinge
Avoid snapping the device shut or forcing it open beyond its natural stopping point. Let the hinge and magnets do its work and use both hands when opening the device where possible.

Keep It Clean
Dust, sand and small particles can find their way into moving parts over time. Give your foldable a quick wipe every now and then, especially around the hinge area.

Bonus tip: Enjoy your foldable! They're built to withstand everyday use, so you can use them with confidence as part of your everyday routine. Just follow a few good habits and you're all set.

For anyone who wants to learn more about foldable care and recommended usage, Samsung has also put together a detailed guide here -
