It's so prone to cracking along the fold, though. You should either get the extended warranty or treat the phone as disposable, because it will likely not last more than a couple of years.
Every single person who I’ve known or seen with a foldable Samsung has a prominent fold (enough to lift the top layer of the screen) or crack.
The tech just isn’t there yet.
That's not a screen layer, that's the screen protector. You can remove it. It's just some plastic
Samsung advise not to remove the screen protector, ironically because doing so can damage the screen.
Instead they suggest you have them do it, first one is free
Oh sure, but it's just a screen protector. I remove them from every phone. And a foldable naturally protects the screen anyway.
