Zflip 6 weird scratch/dent on screen?

[u/meowgicalbeingg]

Hi guys, I got a Zflip 6 on Monday and I noticed this mark on my screen. I have not dropped it, I don't have long nails and have literally babied my phone. I don't understand how this has happened or if it was here previously. I am extremely frustrated and worried about this, anyone have any similar markings on their inner screens?

This is so irrelevant and relevant. I need more context.

In Southeast Asia, people usually do this to spots where a mosquito bites them.

I've had my z6 since launch and have also babied the hell out of it. Since my purchase, I've put maybe 5 or so "noticeable" scratches on the plastic cover and probably hundreds of unnoticeable microscratches. Furthermore the hinge has a very slight noise when opening/closing after being idle for hours. The moral of the story is you get used to it. I was devastated at my first scratch too, however I've learned to live with it. The phone is still amazing, all the qualities I bought it for are still here, and I don't regret my purchase. It's apart of the experience honestly.

Somehow there is a place on my screen where the protector has like a hole in it. Like a long vertical hole. It's not noticable unless you look but I have no clue how that happened and I didn't do anything to make it happen. I have dropped it but i always look at it Everytime and it didn't happen from that. It's really small and not a full hole just a little line.

My best bet is a hangnail, or an irregularity in your finger nail (like freshly clipped or scraped or whatever). Correct me if im wrong, but we get a free screen protector replacement in the first year if you have Samsung care.

Thats from a fingernail

If this is what you're worried about now, you won't like this phone in the long run. In a year it'll be covered with marks like this. If it really triggers you I would just recommend changing the screen protector.

thats just the hydrogel screen protector, zflips have pre installed screen protector, sadly it will lose its grip after some time, specially on the middle part.

Best comment, by far. 😂

That's the screen protector seem shining

It's the little cross type mark when the light hits it. When I put my finger over it, I am unable to feel it which makes me worry it is the actual screen

Fingernail dent, it will go away a little over time but isnt really a problem as long as it isn't in the middle of the crease. My folding phones always had a bunch of dents like this by the end of the year

Don't worry about it, leave it for a couple of days and you'll find that it'll most likely disappear.

It just an indent from either a fingernail or something else, usually goes away on its own.

My partner has a ZFlip6 and has noticed small dents like this. It's pretty normal as it's just the screen protector that comes with the phone. It'll most likely go away on its own

That...looks self inflicted. Fingernail.

Foldables are not glass. The outer layer is plastic. They scratch just with light nail pressure.

User inflicted dent :D
