Customers are reporting broken and damaged screens on the newly released Google Pixel Fold, with issues ranging from debris causing OLED death to peeling screen protectors and scratches. A bright pink line also appeared on one user's screen. Similar problems have been reported with Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip. While Google offers repair options and plans to allow DIY screen repairs, it is important for foldable phone owners to be prepared for potential issues and take precautions such as backing up their devices and purchasing extended warranties.
The Google Pixel Fold's inner OLED screen stopped working after just four days of use for one reviewer, possibly due to debris puncturing the OLED through a small exposed area between the non-removable plastic layer and raised bezels. Other reviews have also noted issues with scratches and chips. Google has cautioned users to avoid contact with sand, crumbs, and sharp objects. The phone will be released on June 27th.
