That’s a milestone for foldable phones’ repairability and is just another example how the technology is maturing. As you can see from the video above, Samsung worked hard to ditch the gear-based hinge rotation that was making it impossible to make a slimmer and lighter hinge component.
Back to linear rotational technology, Samsung managed to create a slimmer foldable that weighs less but is nevertheless just as durable as the folding design it used on the last three generations.
We kid, but when Samsung posts the true cost of Galaxy Z Fold 4 or Z Flip 4 screen repairs out of warranty and without Samsung Care subscription, the $29 screen replacement move will certainly be appreciated more by their future owners.
