My original ZFold 4 protector starting detaching on the seam after 2 weeks in a cold country. I took it to Samsung Vietnam (where I bought it) and they wouldn’t replace it for free, saying it is an accessory. So, I had to buy a new protector (at about $25). Before the technician put it on he warned that it might start coming off again as soon as 1 week! I didn’t believe him, of course, but it is doing exactly that. Well, I refuse to buy new screen protectors every month, so I don’t see any other choice than removing it permanently.
I absolutely advise not to remove it! I did it on my ZF3 and after a few weeks the crease was completely scratched, I had to buy a new one after that... I removed mine because I'd seen someone like this guy doing it. I will never remove it again.
I agree. I removed mine on ZF2 because it bubbled, and crease was a mess after few weeks.
That was for the 3, this is the 4. They've upgraded the surface, and Samsung themselves say it's ok.
I was about to do it until I read your comment, thank you
@@bigtank2185 They say what is okay?
@@MrMartis913 what we were talking about?
Thank you sooo much it was bugging the crap out of me I'm so happy now like a new phone again
Hey man! Just picked up z fold 3 what're your opinions on it the screen a worry for the inner one? I rarely open it to the bigger display.
Got butterflies when he took it off, it looks the same though.😂
To all the people that has a fold and thinking about doing this just don't please .
Just did it omg its amazing!
That was the 1st thing I did when I got my phone delivered a year ago. 1 yr in and still no crack or whatever everyone else been complaining.. haha.. Like who the hell needs a protector unless you keep it open. It's the human vs his/her tool. If anything, blame the user.
@@zar6688 what about scratches?????????
@@arifzworld Well that depends on how you takecare of it. I have a rugged case that has a slot for the pen at the hidge. Dropped many times even in water. It's still in pristine condition. Never blame the tool but the user is what everyone would say. Needless to say if anything goes wrong, it's easy to get one at $1000 where I am. That's like 1/10th of my monthly income.
@arifzworld, this is how your suppose to use the fold phone. The outside screen is when you're actually busy and doing other shit with your phone, so the chances of dropping and scratching it is higher. The middle screen is for when you're more relaxing watching videos or muti tasking less risk of dropping or scratching the phone. If you follow the ways I said, your screen will never see scratches. Also, make sure to always close your fold screen when not in use.
Gregg I am watching your video. Did you replace the screen proctecor or just leave it off. I just took mine off and I feel like I can type on the device much better. What are your thoughts experience?
does the pictures from the front camera of the bigger display looks better without the screen protector?
I still notice the crease just as much, although it might be different in person.
Hey! Great channel! I have a suggestion! How about a video with things that samsung should improve on the fold 4?
I have 2 simple ideas:
1- a quick way to change between full screen and 16:9 for the apps (instagram works fine in full screen, but the stories dont) a little button to change the aspect ratio of the app on the corner of the screen would be great!
2- An option to use the fingerprint touch to take photos... this would be nice when we are using the main camera on selfie mode!
Cheers from Brazil!
App related issues should be adjusted by the apps not the Samsung, if the app the dev team of app can try to create a compatibility device phone development then that resolves that issue.
Overtime the adhesive on the protected will pull the screen and crack it no? Such as cold environment the plastic on the protector will harden and damage the screen no? I agree with greggles and one day will take mine off too.
Gregg the myth buster! 😆
My factory screen protector is starting to bubble at the top middle in the crease. Im sooo tempted to take it off, and maybe have one of the local phone specialty shops put a new one on. The screen just seems so delicate to go without a protector.
As I'm removing my Watch 4 Classic, it flew on my Z Fold 4's inner screen and it left and the groove on the rotating bezel and it left a mark on my Z Fold 4 inner screen screen protector. It didn't go away a week later.
Do you loose the warranty if you pill of the screen protector?
Regards
how does it feel after removing it? same plastic feel?
Cant stress this enough if yours starts to bubble pull it off . The sticking unsticking causes dead pixels and can tear up the inner screen . Mine has now been off for months no issue had zfold 3 previous and it bubbled screen went out. Your screen does not go out from removing it just can get scratches .
Mine was coming off, so happy I watched this.. feel and looks better! The screen protector was great while it lasted. I didn't even know it was a protector.. thank goodness it was.. cba
Before I bought my Z Fold 4, that is one of the biggest complaints I heard was the crease in the middle of the screen. I've had this phone now for about 4 months, the crease is only noticeable when you are looking for it.
Especially when people point it out.
Wait until a year in
I kept the inside screen protector on the Fold 3 all year and it still looks new. I'm doing the same with my Fold 4 mainly b/c I use the S-Pen a lot. But I have friends who took it off as soon as they got it and had no problems. It's your device, so nobody can tell u what to do with it.
I really want to pick up a fold 4 but the one thing stopping me is the screen have you had any issues at all ?
@@SKILLS4FRILLS I'm happy to say I didn't have a problem with the screen on the Fold 3 all year. The Fold 4 seems just as durable if not more. Like i said, I put the S-PEN to the test on the unfolded screen and it's held up nicely. I'm a truck driver, so I was mainly a Galaxy Note user every year. Thought it would be a hard transition to a Fold, but it is a great phone. Always kept an Otterbox case on my Notes, so I don't mind having a thick case on phones. Been using the Supcase UB PRO on the Fold 3 and 4 and it protects them well. They hold the S-PEN in the hinge, so it still feels like I have a Note. I once dropped the Fold 3 unfolded with the SupCase on it, and I was surprised that it wasn't damaged. Had the Fold 4 for a couple of weeks, and it's just as nice
@@SKILLS4FRILLS how many videos have you watched about the Z fold 4 smh if you really wanted one you’d have got one by now you wouldn’t be here asking questions 🤡 it’s been out for a month so just get one already
I took mine off yesterday on my 4 lol but I have the warranty to get a new one if I think I need it
@NateDaGreat519849 how's it been since?
Lol Greg tell em to chill out wit all that 😆 🤣
I have fold 4 buyed since 3 months and the screen cover is scrached hard in the zone when i move the finger, i dont wanna to imagine if i remove these screen cover and use the phone without him..
I'll. Keep mine on lol. This is my first fold phone so I'm not ready yet lol
My screen protector is starting to lift from the centre, should i keep it or remove it? Any suggestions?
Thank you
Question. Hey Greggles, can do a side by side comparison of the phone screen before and after removing the screen protector?
Does your z fold 4 glitch alot on the screen?
Be careful because yes this does damage the inner screen micro cracks can form at the crease as the screen protector is used to stop that plastic from cracking apart I have seen many z fold 3s without screen protectors screen cracks at the hinge after a few months!
My screen protector on my Z Fold 3 peeled down the middle, and the loose part of the protector in the centre fold started to crack. Next thing the screen cracked down the middle. And Samsung wants the best part of £500 to repair it. I feel it's a warranty claim, as I've not damaged it, but they are claiming some tiny scratches on the rear of the phone, yes the REAR, invalidates the warranty! The phone looks immaculate.
Definitely wanted to see this video. Took mine off and I love how much cleaner it looks than having a smudgemagnet plastic protector
Have you used the s pen at all with it off?
@@ahmedrahim7250 haven't used the s pen once since I got it 😆
So how is it after 2 weeks?
@@HansiHusten I don't like the Fold after all. I figured out why. When using it, you only have two options, either on a tiny keyboard or a huge spread apart keyboard. I kept gravitating toward using my s22 ultra. It's the perfect size space.
@@openrelationships you can change the keyboard size in the settings.
Has anyone else developed De-quervains in your thumb from opening & closing the z fold? I had the first one & after using for about 2 mos...I was having excruciating pain & dr & I deduced it was from the extremely tight hinge& the technique required to open it. Doing so throughout the day - out undue pressure onmy left thumb & dr said get this caused the de quervains tenosynovitis. Had to stop using it, had to wear a brace & had 6 mos of physical therapy & nightly hand exercises & heat sessions - it was not a fun time. Thankfully, I avoided surgery & painful cortisone shots which were recommended early on- but the pain is now finally gone. Im actually researching & reconsidering the new z fold 4 - but curious if anyone else has existing a similar issue. Is the new one easier to open? I'm reconsidering it, because it was the best phone for the way I use my phone - but definitely don't want to go through that ordeal again.😔
i have this phone for about a week now. the screen protector is already peeling smh😢
Ice Universe trolling 😂😂
It looks exactly the same🤣🤣
Where to buy that screen protector
I removed the inner screen protector yesterday after one year and 3 months after i have on the hinge area air bubbeles... what i noticed the phone gets easyer to open and close.. the foldline of the screen is almost not visible without protector ! And it give you beter response 😉
Remove when got bubble or you want to change the new screen protector one. Trick when you attach new one you need to unfold for 3-4 Hrs it will better
I just took mine off and it looks great i have samsung care so i do t really care if it messes up
I removed mine because it started to develop bubbles and come off. Now, the pen behaves weird (the pointer offsets sporadically and lost precision) and it caused a vertical bar are near the fold region where pen does not work at all. There is some design fraud samsung did and never told us.
Just got off the phone with Samsung, and despite the comments in this video and all across the internet, the Samsung warranty department insisits it DOES VOID YOUR WARRANTY. It doesn't matter what google or reddit say, Samsungs own warranty department say it voids the warranty.
Regardless it's less indented than the fold 3. I ripped mine off my flip 4 and I am so happy. Less finger prints and just feels sooo much better
Have you used the s pen at all with it off?
@@ahmedrahim7250 I have not
Just took it off... So much better!
Have you had any issues after removing the screen protector?
I didnt even know it was there!!
I just took mine off after a year. It started cracking on the fold area and made it look like the screen was cracking. 😮
Cant they use glass for 95% of the screen and plastic for just the hinge portion?
What's the benefit of taking it off? There isn't one unless it's damaged
Right and as soon as they scratch it it's going to be a problem.
I have two on...
almost all of the screen protectors were incorrectly designed to apply vertically over the crease, and are to stiff to flex.
The latest versions are made to correctly start inside the crease, and squeegee out horizontally. Still, you must make sure they are the softer "self healing " type. Those also will not have fingerprints and show less center crease.
same, Ice is wrong this time
I just removed looks way better and feels better glad i did it now the middle was making rainbow colors now its nice and clear 😅
How's it going?
I'll try again when my replacement gets here. I removed the protective film and it came off with a portion of the screen. Just kidding 😂. I am ok with the protective film, I will wait until I see signs of wear to replace it.
Question so if I take screen protector off my z flip 4 and the screen cracks a week later will samsung fix it under the 1 year warranty?
The way I read this is "if I take off the protection they put on the screen for a reason and the screen gets damaged, will they fix it?"
I would guess is no.
Yea they will
It protect the zfold 4 screen, my partner removed it in hoping itl be better but after few days it started to crack in the middle and got worsen and he had to replaced it by warranty..
I took my screen protector off the very first day I set it up. And it doesn't hurt your phone. That's the reason why my ZFold 3 inner screen cracked because I left that screen protector on it. And that's the reason why I took if off the ZFold 4 my twin son has my ZFold 3 and he's planning on getting the screen fixed. It's good to take off the inner screen protector on your ZFold 4. 😁📱❤️
You have a twin son? Like a clone?
@@AdamHoooot
Yes, I have twin son but they're fraternal twins they don't look alike but the were born at the same time. My son's twin brother is in the us army and is married and they have one son making me a first time grandmother. And they're are leaving to live on the base in Korea tomorrow for two years because my son does cyber security with the computers in the army. And my twins sons will be 31 years old come on November 13th a few days after my birthday on November 8th. 🤗❤🤗❤🤗❤
Please thank him for his service and thank YOU for your sacrifice so that he could serve our country ❤️
You're very welcome and I sure will do!!! 🤗🤗🤗
whats your wallpaper?
I wouldn't remove it because it's just an extra layer of impact and scratch resistance, even if it's just slightly it's atleast more than 0
I have a z-fold 4 that I bought second hand and the internal screen protector has some pretty big scratches on it nothing serious enough that I care to even get another screen protector yet but I do intend on taking mine off and replacing it immediately I personally wouldn't use this thing raw dog without something over the internal display
My screen protector so far been really good. On my fold 3 when I took it off I ended up scratching it so much whilst cleaning my device and I use a soft screen cloth as well
Yeah also ppl don't realize how much the S pen can mark the screen
I taken my flip 3 screen protector off once it cracked on the crease. Then bought a new one. No issues. Had it trade in for the flip 4. It was eligible. So I got mu $999 discount.
Not sure what was causing it but every time I opened my fold 4 it sounded like something was sticking. Like peeling a sticker. I removed the screen protector that came with the phone and now that sound is gone.
It's the screen protector moving around. That's why the old gens eventually bubbled up. When you fold/unfold the device it puts strain on the screen protector. Assuming that's why gen 4's is more sticky, to prevent it from separating over time. Or at least buying it more time .
I removed mine because it was cracking down the middle. Sound went away and then came right back. Must be something in the hinge. It does open and closed more easily. Failed putting on the whitestone dome twice (have pop socket like thing on the back so it not sitting flat probably contributed to inability to seal). Stays much cleaner (no fingerprints) without the screen protector. The surface, oddly, is less appealing than the OG screen protector and especially the whitestone. Unless there's a lot of oil on your fingers, it tends to catch a bit. Crease is slightly less visible and colors seem to pop more. As long as I keep dirt out of the middle and am diligent about cleaning it *gently* I think it'll last at least until I'm ready to upgrade to the fold 6
Just peeled mine off today. had the phone a year and it started to come loose at the crease as i pulled it open too far. It peeled off really easy. THink ill just leave it bare.
Same here, after 1 year of use. I have removed it. I'll try to be more careful in using :)
Yea mine started to bubble up removed it Ill use it without one my 2nd gen fold was fine so Im sure the 4 will be fine
Has anyone added a screen protector over the stock one.
I'll leave it on until it starts for peel and or bubble.
I think it would look less dented if you removed it the first day you got it. I'm probably going to keep it and if anything happens to make it look weird, I'll take that puppy off. Lol
Thank you, i been too chicken to remove mine 😂
Exactly the same before & after
Does the screen (not the crease) feel better without the protector? I would remove it if it weren't necessary & it make the screen feel nicer to touch. I never rocked protectors on my candy-bar style glass slabs.
I think I does. I've had a fold 2 and 3. Also 2 flip 3's (one I bought, and one sammy gave for my job) and also now a flip 4 and I rip all of them off and you'll get less finger prints and I think the screen feels better with touch and responsiveness.
@@DannyBlackstock. thank you man 👍
@@DannyBlackstock. I still own a fold 2....happy with it....about 15 months now...Camera improved a lot by updates....do you think, Fold 4 will make me much happier? Really missing just optical 10 x zoom (like s 22 ultra)....battery is like new.
@@rainersta7073 I think the fold 4 would be a great upgrade. The camera alone would be a reason to upgrade. You get the s22 cameras. If you watch a lot of videos or play video games, you'll enjoy the inside camera being filled in with some pixels to fill your screen out. I would do it
@@DannyBlackstock. thx Danny ....You remember that Greg was not too excited by fold 3 coming from fold 2. We all expected S21 ultra camera setup, wider front screen, integrated s pen. None of this happened. Yes...there were about 20 little improvements....mainly waterresistance and s pen possibility. Except waterresistance there was nothing to me, making me really hot and throwing my fold 2 away. In a way it ' s same here again. Still not S22 Ultra setup....mainly brighter screen for sun usage (great) and longer battery live. (great)
I was already at the edge to order and trade my S10 plus in. But still remaining 1300 Euros/Dollars😳....i was absolutely not sure, that i wouldn t be disappointed. When i bought Z fold 2 ist was a big shift coming from my s 20 ultra. And as i ordered it two months before start of Z fold 3 it was a real good deal. Less than the 1300 now....with no trade in....And there are still open wishes like wider frontscreen and 2 optical zoom lenses, bigger battery and integrated S Pen. Think i 'll wait for z fold 5 (my fold 2 works great) or at least for a deal at the end of Z fold 4 cycle.
Question: Did your ZF3 trade-in to Samsung go through without a hitch?
I think with a matt screen protector you would notice it alot less.
I took mine off because after a year it started to delaminate and I was actually worried there was something wrong with the phone itself because I didn't even know that this plastic was on the inside screen anyway I've had it for a long time now it was looking and Performing terribly it's only the first day so all I can really comment is I only did this because it started to delaminate itself I don't know how delicate this internal screen is but it looks 100% brand new and I'm not going to put a new one on if I don't have to
Mine is bubbled. I didn't know i could take it off like that lol
I think you can see it more.
Now your phone will end up with all those yucky fingerprints on it.
It's still the same without the screen protector on.
Guys don’t buy this phone its not worth it. After year and a half my screen started blinking i sent it to service and they broke it and said it came here like that…
Oh nasty oh sticky.... lol wtf dude 😂
Much better without the screen protector
The Crease Is not as bad this year, For me To EVER MAKE THE MISTAKE OF REMOVING MY Z FOLD4 SCREEN PROTECTOR AGAIN!
almost all of the screen protectors were incorrectly designed to apply vertically over the crease, and are to stiff to flex.
The latest versions are made to correctly start inside the crease, and squeegee out horizontally. Still, you must make sure they are the softer "self healing " type. Those also will not have fingerprints and show less center crease.
Hey Greg throw the phone out the window see if it can fly 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah for the Z Fold 2 and Z Fold 3 I made videos about taking the screen protector off and it's so much better with it off. Do so at your own risk :-)
Great! I can take it off now with peace of mind
I think it looks the same to me
I'm not taking my screen protector off
A follow up video a month after that would be nice to know if it's really worth it. Thanks in advance
His screen got a hot pixel so he had to get it sent off to fix it (so now he has a new protector)
He says it happened randomly but I think it's because of this video
Yes but if u did that with z3 it broke after a month ...then they put warning on box saying do not remove protector 😒 does it say that on z4 ? ...
Nothing on my fold 4 box (canada) about the protector. Only a warning that it has magnets & avoid objects that may affect them
Why?...
Ummm. Now the crease looks more prominent! Haha. Can you put it back on?? Someone was fibbing and wanted publicity obviously, that being (Ice Universe).
And can doing that void your samsung protection?
I just did it to mine it feels alot better
Still good?
@@ElCarnicerodeBlaviken yes
Once your looking at what's going on with the screen you're brain takes out the crease
Looks like a smaller crease with out it.
I took mine off and I'm happy I did, the dust that was building up between the edge and the screen protector edge was very annoying. And imo you don't need one the phone as its folded when not in use. Will be difficult to scratch.
I took mine off the Fold 3 and regretted it once I starting seeing little dings on the main screen
@@rkymtnchi503 really I wonder how that happened?
@@Jasondranoff I really don't know, I baby the hell out of my phone
@@rkymtnchi503 that's crazy same here I hope I didn't make a mistake well I can always get another one which I mite do
@@Jasondranoff just be warned that they're a pain in the butt to put on that main screen. The crease loves air bubbles.
I cant see the crease
It voids the warranty through at&t and Samsung
My bubbled up in a line down the crease but I'm still afraid to remove it 😅
Same
я удалил только что,ты удалил?)
Fold 2 - removed it. (That screen protector was horrible. Did have some thumbnail indentions though)
Fold 3 - kept it on. Was a great screen protector and had no thumbnail indentions.
Fold 4 - keeping it on. Can’t even tell it has one on it.
Did any of your folds Crack in the crease?
@@austinprice606 no sir. Never had any issues.

@@AZHighLife sooner or later it will bubble thats why
You know if you wipe it you can remove the finger prints and smudges from the screen protector...
I want to buy that screen protector you have just remove on the z fold
Thinking about z5. I had the 2,3,4 . Replaced the z4 oncen. Any experience with z5. I have s23ultra or should wait for z6
Did anybody try to heal the film at the beginning of peeling with some liquid from aliexpres?
Edit: I have tried, and it helped only for few hours. Then it started peeling of again
I'm scared to do that
I'm very, very happy Greg that you took your inner screen protector off because I did that the very first time I setup my new ZFold 4. 😁📱❤️
Does it feel nicer without the screen protector ? Worth doing ?
I just did it because it started to crack and bubble in the middle
Display without it looks slightly better i guess but time will tell more
Mine started to bubble so it bothered me during videos
Samsung put out a warning lable not to remove
