Paint On Galaxy Z Fold7 Phones Is Already Peeling Off, According To Consumers

Despite users claiming they have not dropped their devices, paint delamination is occurring on the anodized aluminum body.

It could indicate potential issues with Samsung’s paint application process or possibly that their chargers might not fully prevent this damage under certain conditions.
