Galaxy Fold is the hotdog in a new teardown play on how Samsung made it tougher
Our favorite tinkerers over at iFixit have dismantled their most interesting patient to date – the re-released Galaxy Fold – and, unsurprisingly, came up with a 2/10 repairability score. What we were more interested to see, though, are the measures that Samsung said it has taken to revamp the assemblage of the Fold and make it more foolproof against tampering and debris.
The box that the new Fold comes in now, is littered with warnings to touch the display gently, and not to peel off anything. Not that Samsung is giving anybody a chance, what with the new display cover wrapping that is now extended over the corners and attached with copious amounts of strip against tampering. Not only that, but it included a new “metal chain” layer underneath it to reinforce the display, too, which can be clearly visible below.
