Some Galaxy Z Fold6 users<\/a> report having the paint on their foldable phone come off, which is disappointing for a $1,900 flagship device. However, what many thought to be a manufacturing flaw is, according to Samsung<\/a>, due to interference from third-party products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The issue is specific to the Navy and Black color variants, with the inner and outer corners being the commonly peeled areas. In Samsung\u2019s words, \u201cimproperly grounded third-party chargers\u201d caused the paint-peeling issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apparently, holding the Galaxy Z Fold6 (or any Galaxy phone<\/a>) while it charges at high speed with incompatible accessories can damage the device\u2019s paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The power leak from substandard chargers messes up the anodization used in coating Galaxy devices. Anodization is the electrochemical process that gives metal surfaces a decorative and corrosion-resistant finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Samsung notes that third-party chargers from reputable companies<\/a> won\u2019t cause peeling. However, it recommends using authentic Samsung-branded chargers designed to work with specific device models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) massagers can also cause paint peeling on Galaxy devices. EMS devices send electrical currents to the muscles through the skin. When powered through a Galaxy phone, leakage current from EMS massagers can weaken the phone\u2019s paint and cause it to peel\u2014especially when holding the phone while using the massager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When using an EMS messenger, Samsung recommends putting your phone away so it doesn\u2019t touch any part of the body. That prevents the leakage current from the EMS massager from weakening or peeling the phone\u2019s paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Official chargers may cost more than third-party alternatives, but they\u2019re worth the investment<\/a>. Genuine charging accessories for Galaxy phones are available on Samsung\u2019s website and in Samsung Service Centers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
