Foldable phone users should avoid closing device on keys or dirt
Tech outlets warn that foldable phone owners must prevent closing the inner screen on objects like keys or sand to avoid damage.
Dropping phones causes damage
The most common mistake users make is dropping their devices. Samsung notes that cards, coins, or keys can scratch or puncture the inner display when closing the phone.
Environmental factors complicate care
Dirty jobs or living near a beach introduces sand that finds its way into the mechanism. Users cannot always spot dirt easily on the screen surface.
Screen durability varies by model
Some foldable screens are softer and weaker than others depending on the manufacturer. The Galaxy Z Fold8 has an IP48 rating while the iPhone Duo boasts an IP68 rating.
