Galaxy Z Fold Screen Damage After Screen Protector Replacement at Samsung Authorized Repair

lulucy — Thu, 12 Mar 2026 21:08:24 GMT

Hello everyone,

I’m looking for advice because my Galaxy Z Fold developed a black spot on the inner display immediately after the inner screen protector was replaced at a Samsung authorized repair location.

I pointed it out to the technician right away while I was still in the store. However, the store only offered to split the cost of a screen replacement.

Has anyone experienced something similar, or does anyone know how this situation should be handled?

Thank you for any advice.

That black spot is going to get bigger. I had one on my Fold 6 (not from a repair) and they told me it was a dead pixel, I knew it was not. I have Care+ so they just replaced it for free, mine took a couple of months to start getting bigger.

No way I would split the cost. They damaged it, they need to repair it, especially since they are an authorized Samsung dealer.
