Never underestimate a company's desire to void a warranty.
Why would you need to remove it? You don't even notice it. People just do weird stuff
I agree, I'd it's not broken, why fix it!
Generally only if it starts peeling on its own
@@chrisstavrou7104Exactly. my fold5 is only a month old. I'll remove the screen protector when it gets old and crappy.😅
Mines got a chip in it just the protector it caught on something while driving so it was sitting on the instrument cluster and fell off and caught a rock or something
I remove it because it looks ugly it peeled-off in the middle after only one year of normal usage.
i have fold 5 right now and I'm glad to see that screen protector(2:46) seems to be really sticky than previous gen folds protectors which maybe it will be better? im not taking mine off but hope this protector will stay longer.
Also I just compared the Whitestone Dome one to the factory one and it's almost identical. If you really need to warranty it i would spend the $20 and slap a Whitestone on it before sending it in and just don't mention it was removed.
Do u know of a good replacement screen for this mine cracked down the middle from opening it up to much...wth?
I'm on Samsung Upgrade plan and I've returned F3 & F4 when upgrading and had no problem then protector was removed. Also had a warranty repair on F4 when no protector was fitted - no issues - they even fitted a new one. I only removed them when they started peeling on their own though.
Crazy, my fold 3 screen protector was bubbling up and started getting dirty under it. After 2yrs I removed it beginning of this month in January. It does feel smoother. Let me tell you though I do take care of my phone and have a VRS Guard protector case also. It's one of the first and best case I bought so far. I dropped my phone about 20 times and the case holds its stand. I was gonna upgrade to the f5 fearing of the screen but now I'm hanging on to my f3 for a longer period. I may be back to give update periodically on the condition without the screen protector experimentation. For a precaution odd reason I do not open my phone in the cold mornings or wherever it's cold.
This was helpful bro thank you! I just got the fold 5, i was afraid based on the fold 1 days. Good to know it can be replaced!
Hey Greg. Can I remove the screen protector from my Z Flip 5 ??
After removing them, have you ever dealt with the screen still peeling in the center down the road? i work for a retailer and over the years, i felt like the phones that came in for trade were fine that didnt have the factory screen protector but the phones that come in all damaged, still have it on there. Seems like its so tacky that it causes the damage down the road?
Does it feel like glass (slippery) when you remove the plastic screen protector?
Gregg's do you think I can apply a matte screen protector to replace it?
I don’t use mine without one but I always replace it with Whitestone dome because it feels a little more like glass
That voids it unless it was put on by samsung.
@@buddhistelder4731 no it doesn't. That is also illegal in the US
@@buddhistelder4731 What part of removing the screen protector does not void the warranty do you have a hard time understanding?
@@buddhistelder4731 "Samsung’s Standard Limited Warranty does not cover damage caused by removal of the screen protector by the user or by a non-Samsung-authorized service provider."
That is from Samsungs site. It only voids it if that is what caused the damage. If my screen breaks it may not be covered but that's $29 with Care+. Obviously an internal issue would still be covered as a screen protector wouldn't cause a battery or motherboard failure.
I was about to ask what the whitestone was like. I love them. Had them in my 22 and 23 ultra
I was one of the Q&A in one of your videos for this exact issue. Lol I took mine off the very first day I got mine. Put a privacy protector on and day one the protector started ripping from the crease so I took that one off and put a regular protector on and it's flawless it's great! No issues. Great video.
What protector did you put on
@kimbridge5592 if you going buy a new screen protector go with withstone dome or the other Whitestone one just don't ever buy the glass screen protector no matter who makes it but you can't go wrong with the Whitestone it's been over a year on my fold 3 still holding up strong
@kimbridge5592 I just slapped a KCT inner protector on my ZF4. So far, it's holding up (and looks) far better than any of the four official replacements I tried. It had been sitting unused in a drawer for over a year, but there are more economical options available now. I would try the Milomdoi if I bought another one today; you get three in a pack vs just one.
I just wanna know is it glass under the screen protector?
Maybe it's just me, but when I took the screen protectors off of my ZF3 & later the ZF4 I feel as though the colors on screen looked way better. The screen protector on the ZF3 actually looked slightly tinted, I assume for blue light diffusion.
how long have you been using the devices without the screen protector on? any durability related issue? I`m really dying to peel mine off
My zfold 4 and 5 both have brilliant protectors why remove them? Also the tempered glass outer screen ones i got are brilliant
I having a problem with my Zfold 5 the plastic layer is coming off by the fold and leaving an air gap, now the second time. I used the one free plastic layer replacement and now it is doing it again, and the 1-year warranty is almost up so I think I try to fix it with a warranty and after that when it happens again, I take the plastic off...
#Question: OK, I know you love using Love Handles on your foldable, but here's my issue. I don't really like the ring holders, but I really want to be able to wirelessly charge my fold 5. What's the best answer?
There is language stating removing protector voids warranty or at least insurance claim. I saw it the other day i would have to find it again
What about the warning when you first set up the phone?
Wait it come with screen protector ?
Well, it looks and feels fine with the protector, don't mess with it.. like it's mentioned it's a small protecter
I close my phone from the center bottom and top hinge every time, and for some reason, I have developed scratches on the fold display in the center. It seems like 20 folds, a new small scratch appears?
Why? I have one scratch after 3 months of thumbing the screen to close it. Why have you bought into that rumor? When has ANY device EVER wear down? Sounds like you need to return the phone
I took it off my Fold 2 because it started coming off on its own and had to send it in for screen replacement twice (completely unrelated to screen protector), and they replaced the screen free of charge both times. Second time was actually after warranty expired.
I got used z fold 2 and I LOVE IT, but I am super sad cuse my skin (dry skin and it is pealing) scratches the screen :(
Thank you so much for giving me peace of mind
Hello this is Marc I've just removed my screen protector on my galaxy z fold 5 and yes the inner screen feels great
I removed to swap with privacy protector didnt know anything about it voiding warranty even mentioned it before doin to a Samsung advisor when trying to sort out my pro buds he said nothing about it either BUT just had a follow up call from a different advisor and 1st thing she said when i mentioned the privacy screen was that i've just voided my warranty.........!!!....... I AM LIVID!! Phone is only a week old!!
Greg _loves_ to live dangerously 😂😂😅
And saying the same thing 7 times in a row
I seriously didnt even know there is a screen protector on my Fold 5. I almost bought one on Amazon for the inner screen. Thanx for sharing.
Is the next layer under the screen protector the ultra thin glass?
That's what I'm wondering as well
Glass can't bend. So how does this? It has glass but don't call it that... like calling rubber plastic
I just got a used fold 4, it did not open all the way. Sent it to warranty repair without a screen protector. Was fixed and repaired in a week with no issues. They sent it back to me with new hinge and screen with screen protector. Might remove it thought to put an anti-glare protector. Will hopefully reduce the crease visibility.
Had exactly the same on my Fold 4 - warranty repair without protector fitted - no issue
Greg getting beside himself
Did you mention in the chat that you have a fold? That would of been nice to see. I work for Tmobile and in writting our 1 year warranty replacment says the screen protector has to be intacted. I dont agree with it. I also take mine off on my fold 2, 3, and 4 and it works fine
T-Mobile has nothing to do with Samsungs warranty. The warranty is through the manufacturer not T-Mobile.
When my inner screen went out on my Galaxy z fold 4 I went to you break I fix and they said that it was out of warranty because I removed the inner screen protector but they also told me if it starts lifting or coming off I get one free replacement and because I have removed it prior to coming they cannot give me a replacement so I had to pay the warranty cost to get the screen repair which was only $30
Did you have Care+?
I work for Samsung. It does, at least in store
You mean you use it as an excuse to screw the customer.
Great content. Good know you can put a real screen protector on it.
Yeah.. I did this with my fold 3, and it only enabled the micro particles of rock, dust, etc which get into everything, to live down the center of the fold. Tiny particles not even really noticeable in day to day use. And then what happens when it closes without that cushiony plastic covering the screen? Cracks started to form. I'm sorry but do not listen to this. The screen protector is there for a reason.
Once u remove the crease it starts to slowly Crack in the middle. That's y it's on there
I took mine off a week ago and yours came off so easy. I had to use a hairdryer to get mine off.
😂😂😂
Q: Does samsung add screen protector to all of their devices all (Z-Folds 1-5) ? T-mobile, AT&T, Verizon...etc.
I tried it on flip and fu the lcd. Beware.
Right because I've replaced mine with Whitestone one 2 times on my Z Fold 3 and now my main phone Pixel Fold I'll remove
Do the whitestone feel good on the fold. Are they better than the Samsung ones
@@kimbridge5592 Yes
From what I understand in Australia. If you have Samsung care±. Or repair or swap through your carrier then not wise too. I have too look in to it more but my carrier uses asurion. And if I take it off I have to pay full price to get the inside display fixed. Will double check as some of there wording is funny.
Samsung Experience staff told me yesterday it will void your warranty and they will not cover it under Samsung care+ or otherwise.
Does the front screen come with a screen protector?
No, but you can put one. I did, just because you keep it in your pockets with keys for example.
Woww The past what like year ive had mine i literally have had a armoursuit on my inside screen..
Good experiment but I won't take off the screen protector on any of my device
I took it off the fold 2 bc it was coming off almost immediately, but on my 5 it seems pretty solid so I think I'll leave it until I notice it start to come up
Same
I was waiting for this Video!!! I knew you would, l0l! Yeah the dirt and grime P's me O!
As long as you don't drop it and break the inside display.
why even take it off though? Just seems ridiculous to me. If the screen breaks though I hope you don't come on here flagging off the phone.
Please recommend a Front Screen - Privacy Screen Protector
I have used 4 till now & they all have bubble up & comes off from left or right side
This issue is only on Front Screen
Please suggest which company Screen Protector is good or suggest one you are you using
What country in America?
More important to have the exposed screen protected. On my Z fold 2 I went without a screen protector on my main (inside) screen for a long time cause most of the time it is closed, but have always had one on the small screen.
how long did you keep using the phone without the inner screen protector? any issues?
BTW to the people that removed it on fold5 , how possibly can a plastic screen feels better without a plastic screen protector ? It's not like regular screen that is glass and its covered with plastic protector would feel. Inner screen is as plastic as the protector so how on earth would feel better ?
Ultra Thin Glass (UTG) is not plastic.
It clearly tells you when you purchase the phone and turn it on DONT REMOVE PROTECTIVE FILM on phone you realise your phone can break when removing or crack when closing
There is a reason the screen protector is on it.
Agreed. Mines bubbling up but I'm waiting till I can get into a samsung store that has em in to replace it.
By September your phone will break lol good video
I bought it on day 1 of the launch and I still use it with utmost protection. The way you held it while removing the protector gives me horrors
I'm glad to know it will still be covered, but I'm thinking I'll just leave mine alone.
Another rep nay tell you a different story. They are not always on the same page. I leave them alone.
@mgomez5606 True, but Greg has proof of the conversation. They'd be hard pressed to reverse that decision. I've found that it takes several calls to samsung to get the preferred answer to a problem. Eventually, you'll find the rep that will do what is needed, then have them note the account. Takes a lot of time, but... in the end...👍
Logical not void warranty, after all I paid big amount and wants to enjoy the feeling of glass, not the feeling of plastic protector.
Is it okay to remove screen protector on z flip 5
@GregglesTV you're right. Samsung has never said it voids your warranty if you remove the plastic screen protector layer. But you do risk it breaking if you do. Your chances of it breaking it is low. But it certainly could.
You can try to get through to these people but I feel your doomed to fail 🤣🤣🤣 like you said its ridiculous to think it voids a warranty because you take a screen protector off a phone ???
I installed an thin tempered glass on my 5 😀
Good video. You look like you enjoyed removing it.
It won't void your warranty. But you warranty doesn't include fixing your screen from scratches.
I didn't know it even had one
A real background is better that those digital backgrounds
okay, but don't take it off like that.
Oh God I wouldn't do that
Here we go again, dead pixel time! Hahahaaaaa
can you do that on the pixel fold?😆
I did
My Fold5 has been sold since yesterday.
how come you sold it.
@@halfmanamazing549 The selfie camera is not good.
The video recording is good, the photos are good but not the best and my requirements are slightly higher than that. ;). Especially when you know how expensive such a fold is, well.
My biggest annoyance is the 6.2 inch screen. I'm often away from home and then I don't open that screen completely and I use that 6.2 inch screen. It's good to hold but it's too narrow for me. I bump my thumb against the side edges of the cover and I hate it.
If you use the fold open, it's a wow feeling, the multitasking is crazy good, nice screen, sound is okay, etc...
But I prefer a normal smartphone where I immediately see everything in large, don't have to open it, which is easier to take pictures, etc...
It depends from person to person, one will be 100% pro, I'm 80% for it. Of course you also have a double layer of the fold, using it with one hand is of course also a bit less fun.
I also expected better battery life.
I sometimes only got 4H30 on 4G/5G, with a bit of luck 5 hours.
But this sometimes also happened on WiFi, using the fold open, about 5:30 am, depending of course on what you do with it.
If I mainly used the front screen on WiFi, I easily got 7-8 hours, easy.
Anyway, you prefer to use the fold when you open it.
When I'm in a store, I'm not going to open that fold there, others don't have to see everything now ;). I catch myself that I often use that narrow screen and then I was annoyed by the side edges of the cover that I bumped into with my thumb.
I sold my fold5 at a heavy loss ppff. That value drops down to tell you.
I bought it for 1900 euros. A week later it is in a well-known and reliable shop at 1670 euros = wtf. I ripped my pants quite a bit. In Belgium on a 2nd hand site, nobody wanted to pay 1400 euros for it, nobody ppff. And it was still the 512GB version.
Only with amounts of 1000-1250 euros were many interested in it.
You can't lose that fold to the paving stones.
Yeah im still.keepiing mine on ,I'd rather not have my scfeen covered in micro scratches
So just micro scratch the screen protector?
@@itzjp777 I’d rather have non permanent scratches 🙄
@@zachcline7555 if you never remove the screen protector it's permanent 🙄
I always remove screen protectors. Don't like wearing cases on phones. What is the point buying nice phone and putting huge case on it and protectors and never enjoying real phone and trading in for half a price next year. I think cases are just marketing
Oh yes! Tear it Daddy
I don't understand this. People PAY to get screen protectors, and it NEEDS IT for the S-PEN... So why do this? DUH
God bless America! We do things to the point no grey area. Period.
A word of caution on OFFICIAL replacements: the chance of it being as flawless as the original is slim, to none.
I went to get mine replaced due to "micro" scratches on the original Fold4 after a year. Lots of bubbles, and it separated at the crease three days later; it also had tiny dimples that looked like little commas, as if the corner of something had gouged the plastic while it was in the box.
Went back for a second; bubbles, so they replaced it on the spot, and it too had those dimples, in slightly different locations.
The third one was installed perfectly. But...dimples. Took it to a different location, and the manager straight-up told me: "I'll change it out for you, but honestly, this is probably the best replacement I've ever seen. They all get those dimples from pressure from the alignment jig in the box."
I decided to cut my losses and keep it, but the dimples bug me. And two days later, bubbling at the crease.
I should have just lived with the micro scratches, but who knew brand new official replacements would be so much worse? If it weren't for the fact that a Fold5 is on the way, I'd just yank the thing off. So, word to the wise: take care of your original.
I have Fold 4 and had removed mine. No issue for few months so far.
@maxeachannel567 If I decide to return the Fold5 and keep my 4, that's what I'm going to have to do. Good to hear it's not an issue.
@maxeachannel567 Well, the THIRD protector peeled up as well, so I let Assurion have one last crack at providing a good one. The installation of the fourth looked like crap, and worse yet, they trapped a couple of specks of dirt UNDERNEATH the protector.
So the guy's telling me the protectors are peeling up because something is wrong with my hinge, even though he can't see anything wrong with it. 🙄 Then he's warning me about using the phone without the protector because of how delicate the screen is to the slightest scratch or piece of dirt. I said "Like the specks you trapped underneath?"
Anyway, he wanted to change my entire screen, so I said no thanks. I remembered a third-party protector I had purchased last summer, and figured I couldn't do worse then Assurion. Peeled off the official protector (the dust had started to dimple the screen; glad I pulled it off in time), installed mine, and it's flawless. We'll see how it holds up.
Then Samsung botched the Fold5 delivery, so I had to decline delivery, sight unseen.
Just gonna wait for the 6 at this point. 😂
@@myfakeguuglaccount8307 That’s a good move for not replacing the entire screen. Yes I can’t wait for the fold 6 either. Hopefully the outer screen is wider.
how's it holding up?@@maxeachannel567
Imagine putting all my phone face into a CZcamsr shaking my damn head!!! NOT
Since when America is a country
To be fair, apple would do it.
Take it off, take it off.
I've taken the inside display screen protector off the Z Fold 3 & 4, the Z Flip 4 and the Pixel Fold. It is a better experience without the screen protector on and I've never had any issues. Not even a single hairline scratch on any of my inside displays.
Samsung really needs to fix the micro-crack issue on the crease. Every foldable I've had with them gets the cracks right around 11 months of having the phone. Brutal for an $1800 device.
With or without the screen protector?
I got that too on my Fold 3. Eventually the front screen went black so I got a replacement, but now I have dead pixels...I love the fold, but they definitely need to fix these long term issues.
@@tdevans11 did you remove the inside screen protector or not?
@raizo476 Yes, I did. The micro-cracks aren't really cracks, but more like stretch marks along the entire crease from it opening and closing. I haven't removed the inside protector on my replacement phone yet, so we'll see if the stretch marks appear this time.
@@tdevans11 They replaced it under warranty with no screen protector?
Then you complain about your screen breaking lol😂
I don't like you😊
