Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 Faces Paint Peeling Issues Like Predecessor

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is experiencing paint peeling issues similar to those reported with its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Fold 6. Users have taken to social media platform Reddit to share their concerns, showing photos of the damage, which appears to affect both the blue and jet black models of the device.
Reports indicate that the paint is chipping primarily around the power button and the USB-C port. While some users asserted they had not dropped their devices, the peeling has raised questions about the durability and quality of Samsung’s latest foldable phone.
Comparison with Previous Models
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 also faced similar paint problems, prompting a response from Samsung last year. The company attributed the issue to the use of high-speed third-party chargers, stating that such chargers could “deteriorate the anodization,” which refers to the protective metal finish of the phones. This deterioration was said to lead to “delamination of the paint” and subsequent peeling.
Despite Samsung’s explanation, some users of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 are reporting paint issues even while using the official Samsung 25W charger. This raises concerns regarding the validity of the company’s previous claims about charger compatibility. As the Galaxy Z Fold 7 does not include a charger in the box, many users are left to rely on their existing chargers, whether official or third-party.
Consumer Reactions and Future Implications
The ongoing paint peeling issues are disappointing for consumers who expect high quality from Samsung’s premium devices. Users have expressed frustration on various forums, and there is anticipation regarding how Samsung will address these complaints.
It remains uncertain whether the company will provide a similar explanation as it did last year or if it will take further action to resolve the issue. As the situation develops, consumers and industry observers alike will be closely monitoring Samsung’s response to the Galaxy Z Fold 7’s paint problems, which could impact the company’s reputation in the increasingly competitive foldable phone market.
In the meantime, Samsung’s customer service may face increased inquiries from users experiencing these issues, highlighting the importance of addressing product quality in maintaining customer loyalty.
