If you&#8217;re interested in it, don&#8217;t miss <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/samsung_galaxy_z_fold7-review-2856.php\">our in-depth review<\/a>. If you&#8217;d like to know how easy to repair the device is, then take a look at the video embedded below.<\/p>\n<p>The self-repair experts at iFixit have torn down a Galaxy Z Fold7 to see how easy it is to repair. Here&#8217;s the spoiler: the Fold7 falls short in repairability, with a score of 3 out of 10, where 10 would be most repairable and 1 would be least repairable.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Z Fold7 Teardown!  Beautiful, Fragile, and a Repair Nightmare\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9KhF6emBjbE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>So it&#8217;s clearly not a great situation for the Fold7, with its exceedingly fragile folding screen that can be damaged by dirt particles and even pressure from your fingernail. You shouldn&#8217;t expect to be able to just replace the screen on this device, it will have to be both the screen and chassis due to the design.<\/p>\n<h4>Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7<\/h4>\n<p>Samsung is also called out for a lack of spare parts for its foldables in general, not just the Fold7. Even the one-year old <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/samsung_galaxy_z_fold6-13147.php\">Z Fold6<\/a> is still lacking any spare parts availability. So Samsung is definitely not catering to those inclined to self-repair their tech with this line.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/samsung_galaxy_z_fold7_video_teardown_reveals_bad_repairability-news-68918.php\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Samsung&#8217;s Galaxy Z Fold7 has been a lot more successful than any of its predecessors, at least in some markets.
