Galaxy Z Fold 4 I removed the screen protector I heard this gets better 

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.

To all the people that has a fold and thinking about doing this just don't please .

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.

What's the benefit of taking it off? There isn't one unless it's damaged

Love my Fold 4, I'm going to keep it for another 6 years

Hey Greg I think it's pretty dumb for you to take you to screen protector off on the phone it's put on there for a reason every phone should have a screen protector and a real good case on it

I'll. Keep mine on lol. This is my first fold phone so I'm not ready yet lol

I still notice the crease just as much, although it might be different in person.

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.

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. 😁📱❤️

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!

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.

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…

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 .

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.

Now your phone will end up with all those yucky fingerprints on it.

i have this phone for about a week now. the screen protector is already peeling smh😢

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'm not taking my screen protector off

how does it feel after removing it? same plastic feel?

The Crease Is not as bad this year, For me To EVER MAKE THE MISTAKE OF REMOVING MY Z FOLD4 SCREEN PROTECTOR AGAIN!

My bubbled up in a line down the crease but I'm still afraid to remove it 😅

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.

Hey Greg throw the phone out the window see if it can fly 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️😂😂😂😂😂😂

It's still the same without the screen protector on.

Gregg the myth buster! 😆

same, Ice is wrong this time

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.

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.

It looks exactly the same🤣🤣

Removing it voids your warranty and will completelty become black in minutes hours weeks

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.

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

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

I think it looks the same to me

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?

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.

Low quality on this phone. Do not buy this phone...

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..

no one in these videos speak to the obvious. Does your fingernail scratch the inner screen or not???

Cant they use glass for 95% of the screen and plastic for just the hinge portion?

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.

Ice universe was talking crap 😂 he’s a troll

Samsung put out a warning lable not to remove

it voided my manufacturers warranty

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.

does the pictures from the front camera of the bigger display looks better without the screen protector?

The film protector is there for a reason

Question. Hey Greggles, can do a side by side comparison of the phone screen before and after removing the screen protector?

Ice Universe trolling 😂😂

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 😉

looks the same

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!

I had to remove mine because it started coming up in the middle and it bubbled. I was paranoid to do it because I thought it breaks your screen.

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 😅

Rich folk lol

My screen disappeared, its not working

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.

Must be very careful if you peel it off. Slowly PEEL off, not PULL off, like he started and then after peeled. The real issue, is that the stock protector is a firm, shiny one for durability in S pen usage. That's why it gets fingerprints and is a firmer protector. The S pen can do some serious marks. So instead of removal, I went opposite way, and installed another " latest version" protector on top of existing one, for double protection... It is important that ANY protector you buy should be the new version, which applies horizontally into the fold, instead of skipping over it vertically. ... So The new one I made sure would also be a soft and "self healing" type, in order to flex better, and also have less reflection of crease.. It is cajlled: "DOME GLASS Whitestone Premium Film". It is perfect for the Fold4. I believe all the problems in past with fold3 protectors was a double issue, of : 1- using firmer or thick protectors that don't like to flex, so they resist that dip in crease. 2- incorrect design application of going over center vertically, instead of properly starting inside the crease, and then squeegee out horizontally outwards. So get a protector that addresses these problems, like I did. Although having two protectors not necessary for finger use, it definitely helps protect when using the S Pen, AND fills in to make the crease less noticeable, as it feels smooth, but isn't shiny as stock.

A follow up video a month after that would be nice to know if it's really worth it. Thanks in advance

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

Lol risking the 1800 dollar phone

I just took mine off after a year. It started cracking on the fold area and made it look like the screen was cracking. 😮

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

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 :-)

You lie😂

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.😔

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 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

Your screen protector gross cause you dont clean it 😆😒

I want to buy that screen protector you have just remove on the z fold

😮‍💨😮‍💨 why would u take it off now when u use the fuckin spen itll scratch 😒 😑

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..

Smh you only see it when you look at it from an off angle, when you look at your phone straight it's pretty much invisible.

Don't take it off!!! This guy is looking for viewers 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️ my god how crazy is this dude! Just wait until the screen protector get damaged and then take it off

Did anybody try to heal the film at the beginning of peeling with some liquid from aliexpres?

Once your looking at what's going on with the screen you're brain takes out the crease

Same. Still see it. Samsung screen protector is actually really good. I'd keep it on til it is worn out. Haha. This video will probably get a good amount of views.

I think you can see it more.

Inner display has no gorilla glass. You should really avoid taking it off

Oh nasty oh sticky.... lol wtf dude 😂

Mine is bubbled. I didn't know i could take it off like that lol

Lol Greg tell em to chill out wit all that 😆 🤣

🧢 ice universe

Mine started to bubble so it bothered me during videos

It voids the warranty through at&t and Samsung

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.

I do same thing otherwise can't enjoy the phone

Thank you, i been too chicken to remove mine 😂

Got butterflies when he took it off, it looks the same though.😂

I'll leave it on until it starts for peel and or bubble.

Definitely wanted to see this video. Took mine off and I love how much cleaner it looks than having a smudgemagnet plastic protector

I just took mine off and it looks great i have samsung care so i do t really care if it messes up

Much better without the screen protector

Lol!!! I don't see a difference.

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 ? ...

Iron the crease, it works, makes it less visible, takes creases out! LOL just kidding! Same as removing the screen protector, don't do it.

I didnt even know it was there!!

Thank you sooo much it was bugging the crap out of me I'm so happy now like a new phone again
