TL;DR

iFixit’s teardown of Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 assigns a repairability score of 4/10, with hinges being the main issue and the IP48 ingress rating allowing dust into the hinge, meaning fixes could require replacing the whole assembly; the foldable also lags behind rivals offering IP6X dust resistance.
