Nobody thought about it: The owners of the technology giant's folding smartphones were surprised to find that the device does not survive extreme temperatures • This is what it looks like
Mechanical mechanism and flexible screen - what can already happen? Well, with the winter in South Korea it seems quite a bit:
in the capital Seoul temperatures have dropped to 18 below 0, and owners of Galaxy Z Flip and Galaxy Fold (first generation) reported last week that the devices froze in the extreme cold - according to a report on the SamMobile website.
Despite the complaints, it is important to note that Samsung devices are more durable than the competition.
The Huawei Mate X, for example, is much more prone to damage because the folding display is on the outside of the device.
In addition, Wawi does not recommend using the phone in an area with a temperature below 5 degrees.
It is important to note that this is a limited number of devices and not an overall problem.
In a review we did here recently, we discovered that the new device, the Galaxy Z Fold 2, comes with a host of warnings.
But none of them stated that it was not resistant to extreme cold.
how does it happen?
Extremely low temperatures cause most materials to shrink, which can cause materials, such as flexible screens, to warp.
As of this writing, Samsung Global has not yet recognized the same complaints as a glitch.
