It has come to light that the highly anticipated Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 may have a potential issue with its hinge mechanism. Despite being promoted as the thinnest and lightest bendable phone in the market, some customers browsing the device in stores have noticed that it does not open completely flat. This issue has raised concerns among potential buyers about the overall design and functionality of the device.
Some users have reported seeing demo units of the Fold 7 remaining slightly arched when fully opened, indicating a possible flaw in the hinge mechanism. While Samsung has made efforts to enhance the durability of the hinge with a new Armor FlexHinge, concerns about the device not opening all the way are casting doubt on its reliability.
Additionally, there have been complaints about misalignment of the two sides of the phone when folded, further suggesting that there may be an issue with the hinge mechanism. As the Galaxy Z Fold 7 comes with a hefty price tag of $2,000, any potential flaws in its design could deter customers from making a purchase.
