I think its the new hinge design. My fold 2 and 3 never had this problem. My fold 4 is only 2 months old and I feel like it's been like this since opened the box. I haven't drop any of my folds.

had the issue on fold 2 and fold 4. the brushes meant to keep debris out get loose and get pulled into the hinge mechanism. I think both of my issues happened on hot days in my pocket the glue keeping the brushes in place got a little soft and it was easy for it to shift ever so slightly and then it was all over

One of your other videos mentioned a small plastic film stuck in the hinge. I totally found that on mine. Started checking the hinge and running a nail under it and a film cover piece that was really thin was in the hinge and I was able to pull it out. The outside screen side apparently had it too. I cleaned the back with some alcohol and if I work the hinge I find adhesives coming out from under the hinge.

I just noticed it on mine last week. It's never been dropped. I've never been so careful with a phone until I got this one. It's annoying and I'm wondering if I want to get another Fold after this.

On the screen side, there is a thick thread (protected by a thin plastic film) that runs along the crack. That thread, glue, and plastic film was becoming dislodged into the folding area of the phone. I took a post-it note folded in half and ran it along the crack to clean out all that I could. For me, the film and thread came out and now my phone folds all the way. This didn't do anything to the front screen.

I traded my galaxy 2 fold (with bending problem) and got fold 4. Now fold 4 has bending problem after drop.

Did not drop mine. But I noticed that down the middle, the gap between the hinge and the body of the phone bent. Tried the paper trick and it wouldn't pass through the middle. Haven't placed anything on top of it or dropped it. Could be a result of the thinner design with the thinner aluminium frame close to the hinge

my fold 4 fold screen broken excatly 1 year because of the pear screen protector and i claimed it to the service centre, i got my replacement for free. And after 7 months the screen cannot be flat anymore, maybe the hinge is the problem, but i never drop it, or get step on it.. probably this the first and the last time i use a fold phone.

I just found out. Don't use wireless charging for folds. The heat softens the inner glue and gets stuck in the hinges. I have never used wireless charging and never had this problem, but for the last two days I left my phone on W.charge overnight and today I can't open my phone completely. Poor design by Samsung.

Whatever you do do not put a piece of paper in there because small pieces of it will get stuck more and make the problem worse. That's what happened to me. If you have to take it to Samsung to clean it up then do so but I am pretty pissed now because a small problem is turned into a big problem

[jhayrios]

I’m a tech and these phones are ridiculously delicate. The parts are expensive and the repair you need to be very careful. It’s like carrying a glass phone, don’t drop them because something might break the first time unlike other phones.

[GodUchihaTempest]

Mines doing this now sad only had it for several months

[outofscope]

I went to two Samsung Points today. They did not want to accept it for a warranty repair and asked me 685 euros!!! The screen is not broken, just the pone stopped folding right.. This is crazy. Never again Fold by Samsung.

I have the z fold 4 I've never dropped it but it doesn't unfold completely flat it's only noticeable when you put something flat on the screen you can see it's more at a 178 degree angle instead of fully flat 180 and u can bend the phone a bit and feel it pushing back like it doesn't wanna go completely flat my guess is because of the bristles maybe being a bit to long and pushing back on it

[danielslaats]

What brands are those guitars on the wall?🙌

The screen broke down the seam on my first one. The one they sent me to replace it (refurbished) had that curve in it. Now it has a cracked down the seam. Sending it back again for another one. Hopefully, 3rd times a charm

[t_tunevds]

I just cleaned my fold 4 on the hinge part with water and a small paper it's complete flat again ! And no damage.. it works complete like new again.

[jaliscorojo]

Only zfold 4 has this issue within few months zfold 3 lasted me over a year open flat the issue with this zfold 4 is not the hinge AS Everione is mentioning is the SCREEN it self big problem for Samsung but they won't take responsibility for this defective screen .

[waaqqaarr]

Hi Sir. I had this issue and gave it to Samsung after sale service. They told me to that it is going to be replaced and for that i need to wait like 14 days. So still waiting for their confirmation. Lets see what happens.

[SenseiLlama]

Inlove my fold. But it randomly started being chunky all of a sudden. Not sure why.
