The UAG case damage my front screen protector and back screen protector.

The behind one not so bad but the front one very bad. Visible at the camera one.
Once this corona virus die off I’m going to re paste the front one.

Glad I returned my UAG case and used the spigen for good.

The UAG inner case sharp sharp one I notice that’s why will scratch
Ya lor that's why my front n back film kena crushed by the case cos I diy n cut n smaller film to paste the front. What has the virus got to do with the pasting ?

Wa kao I didn't know this is a inherent flaw in Galaxy Fold until Tech Radar published this:


The Fold’s display also suffers from an uneven refresh rate in our tests, meaning for example that if you scroll through a text-heavy webpage, the words will shift unevenly across the screen.
This isn’t the sort of thing we expect from a premium product, especially from a company with as much screen experience as Samsung, so we’d like to see this fixed for the next model.

I still think my inner screens sort sort teh and quickly sold it off :(

paint come out or hinge no protection up to you to decide lo
for me I choose hinge no protection over paint drop as I don't use my fold as my primary device.

when I bring out I don't put in my jeans pocket also. I put in bag, and when I put in bag not anyhow throw in bag jiu suan le. I put in a place where I make sure no sharp objects or items knocking at my phone.

this goes the same to my other phones as well not only Fold.

Keep better
Even with 2k+ trade in also not worth.
If want to trade in or sell might as well don’t buy in first place.

True but the thing is I bought second hand so I only lose a bit to try out new technology ...


Firsthand owners like yourself can choose to continue to bleed lo :s13:



I won't be surprised the price will stabilize around 1.3K after Fold 2 is released in May/June

Been using fold since oct 2019 but recently the screen seem to appear 2 grease mark, looks like the battery heating up the screen? (Refer to attachment) it's not scratch or any damage as I don't press the screen to fold it.
I can use a microfiber cloth to wipe them off but when the battery warm up abit they reappear.
It's not serious but more like irritating just wondering anybody facing this problem.
Will samsung replace the screen foc as it's under warranty? Or do I need to pay for $200 screen replacement.

I had this issue at 2 specific spots also, due to playing a certain game during that time when I had that phone. Samsung told me is a "normal characteristic" of the phone. That and the fact that the hinge creaking issue, I changed the screen with samsung for $200 and sold it off the next day.

Same with mine. They replaced mine once, it happened again on my new screen. I at this point just don't care anymore.. I find that it's because I have dry skin the dry skin becomes kinda like sand paper and rubs off the coating.. I'll change the screen when fold 2 comes out when this goes into my box of phones

Edit: I use gestures for home back and recent apps. Theres 3 of those at the bottom of my screen exactly where you swipe up to activate the gestures. Plus 3 other spots on the screen so total I have 6 spots like that on my screen. Although when the screen is on I can't see those markings at all
