Galaxy Z Fold 7 users are already seeing paint peel off their phones

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 faces early durability complaints with paint peeling on some units.

A similar issue appeared on some Galaxy Z Fold 6 models last year, to which Samsung replied that poorly grounded high-speed third-party chargers can "deteriorate the anodization" (the phone's protective metal finish). Using a high-speed third-party charger that isn’t properly grounded can lead to leakage currents that deteriorate the anodization (a protective and aesthetic finish on metal surfaces) of your Galaxy device. To ensure the longevity and appearance of your device, we strongly recommend using only official Samsung chargers, which are specifically designed to prevent such issues.
