The fierce competition in the smartphone world continues to increase in the foldable field. Samsung, one of the biggest players in this field, recently launched the Galaxy Z Fold 4 model. But the device scared away with a big mistake.
Galaxy Z Fold 4 cracked 5 hours after purchase
Technology giant Samsung allegedly organized a promotional event called Samsung Unfold Your World on August 10, and introduced the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 models. Although the foldable device was released assertively by the company, it came to the fore with a big technical problem.
Foldable smartphones have been among the models that have become popular in the industry recently. On the other hand, the biggest question mark for foldable models so far has been the creases in the folding hinge part. However, this time Samsung was ambitious. The company argued that it prepared its models to be durable and wrinkle-free. However, this was not the case in one model.
A user named Merzo1290 on Reddit stated that his newly bought Galaxy Z Fold 4 model cracked from the folding area after 5 hours and shared an image. The user immediately forwarded the model to the service. According to Samsung, the error occurred due to a defective UTG (ultra-thin glass). The company stated that this problem occurs, albeit very rarely.
