Fold-screen phones have become a modern technology trend thanks to their flexible design, combining the experience of a tablet and a smartphone.
However, the characteristics of the open folding mechanism and flexible display material make these devices more vulnerable to traditional machines if not used properly.
Here are important notes to help users protect their foldable screen phones, prolonging the life of the device.
Limiting continuous opening and folding unnecessarily
Each folding opening causes the hillside and flexible screen layer to work. Although manufacturers claim that the device can fold up hundreds of thousands of times, folding operations too often, especially when not necessary, can accelerate mechanical wear and tear.
No emphasis on the middle of the screen
The folding screen uses flexible plastic or ultra-thin glass (UTG), which is not as durable as traditional high-strength glass. Using strong force to touch or tap into the folding area in the middle of the screen can cause cracks, peeling or dead viewership.
Avoid dirt and small objects entering the sidewalk
The slope structure is a place that is prone to dirt, sand or small objects, causing scratches on the screen and blocking the folding mechanism. Regularly clean gently with a soft towel, avoid using a loud vacuum cleaner or sharp objects.
Use a specialized back cover and do not attach an arbitrary screen
Each foldable phone line has its own design, so you should use a genuine or manufacturer-recommended case. Pasting screens with inappropriate patches can peel the original protective layer or affect the touch.
Avoid high temperatures and direct sunlight
The folding screen is sensitive to temperature. Keeping the device in the hot sun or in a hot car can cause the glue to leak, damaging the structure.
Update software regularly
Many manufacturers integrate algorithms to help optimize open folding operations. Software updates help reduce errors, improve feedback, and increase screen life.
Although it brings an interesting experience, foldable screen phones are still a technology that is being perfected. Using it properly and carefully will help the device to always operate durably and effectively over time.
