Samsung Defends Galaxy Z Fold8 Inner Screen Edge Softness as Design Feature
Samsung Electronics has responded to user concerns about the soft, slightly indented inner screen edges of its new Galaxy Z Fold8 foldable phone. The company said the slight flexibility is a deliberate design feature to prevent scratches from foreign particles, and it did not explain this beforehand. Some South Korean users reported noticeable softness and minor indentations, though Samsung said the effect is less pronounced than shown in social media videos and does not affect daily use.
Samsung Electronics' new foldable smartphone, the Galaxy Z Fold8, has recently sparked user debate over the softness of its inner screen edges when pressed. Some South Korean consumers found that the inner screen edges felt noticeably soft under pressure, with even slight indentations appearing. A company representative said this is a designed feature intended to prevent inconvenience for consumers, and therefore was not explained in advance. Earlier, some users reported that pressing the inner screen edges produced a stronger sinking sensation than in other areas. In testing of the Galaxy Z Fold8, a slight indentation was observed at the upper right corner, but the effect was less pronounced than shown in social media videos, and no significant impact was encountered during everyday use.
