How to Care for Your Android Foldable Phone
Samsung launched its first foldable smartphone, the Galaxy Fold, in 2019, and since then, these devices have become increasingly popular. They stand out for their unique design and larger screens, which can help boost productivity. However, to keep them working well for a long time, they require a bit more care than regular smartphones due to their special design.What to avoid doing to your foldable…
That being said, don’t let dust and dirt sit in your foldable when you close it. Because of the tight tolerances these phones hit, there is little room for extra debris in the sandwich of panels. Dust and debris inside your foldable’s internal display, in addition to pressure, can destroy your internal screen.

With that, we highly recommend finding a good case for your foldable. There are some extra options that are worth considering, as well, such as a case with a hinge protector. A hinge protector can deter dust and scratches, which is a game changer, but it can also trap dust when it slides open with the phone. However, there are other good options without hinge protectors on the market.

On top of that, you should never try to bend your Galaxy Z Fold 6 or Pixel 9 Pro Fold beyond its maximum extension. Over time, the hinges in these phones will want to cap at around 98% full extension. An extra firm push can open up the hinge a little more, and that’s fine. But you should take care to never try to force the foldable phone open if it clearly will not open anymore. This can not only break the internal glass but also damage the hinge within. The internal screen is something you do not want to have to repair.
Samsung doesn’t recommend that users remove this protector. The company warns customers that adding any additional screen protection could alter their screen performance.
Make sure to regularly clean out any dust or dirt that may get trapped inside the phone when it’s closed. Dust and debris can harm the internal screen if pressure is applied.

Keep Your Phone Away From Magnets
Samsung’s foldable phones contain a strong magnet. This gives the phone a satisfying click when you close it and prevents the phone from accidentally opening inside your bag. Unfortunately, these magnets are also strong enough to attract nearby magnetic objects and can also damage or disable items such as SD cards, credit cards, and access keys.
