Samsung’s response to Z Fold 6 paint peeling issue channels Apple’s ‘you’re holding it wrong’ energy
- Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 users are reporting paint peeling issues just weeks after the phone’s release.
- Samsung attributes the problem to third-party chargers causing leakage currents, advising users to stick with official Samsung chargers.
- The explanation has drawn comparisons to Apple’s infamous “you’re holding it wrong” moment.
Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 6 is making headlines, but not for the reasons the tech giant would hope. Just a few weeks after its release, some users have started to notice an unexpected problem: the paint on their nearly $2,000 device is peeling off the sides. Understandably, this has left many wondering what’s going on with their shiny new foldable.
In response, Samsung addressed the issue on its support pages in some regions, including Canada. The company suggests that the paint peeling could be caused by “improperly grounded third-party chargers.” According to Samsung, these chargers might cause a leakage current, which could affect the phone’s anodized finish and lead to paint delamination. The following image was also posted to illustrate the point.
