Let's imagine you found this article because your Galaxy Z Fold 6's inner screen is starting to have some issues. The built-in protective layer is no longer pristine and has begun to bubble. What do you do next? Should you remove it?Despite some Fold users claiming that removing the inner screen's protective layer hasn't harmed their devices, Samsung strongly advises against it. There have also been numerous cases where removing the screen protector resulted in permanent damage to the foldable screen.So what are your options if your Galaxy Z Fold 6's foldable screen exhibits defects? Well, Samsung offers free screen protector replacements under warranty, so pursuing a warranty claim should be your first course of action.First, you need to check if your Galaxy Z Fold 6 is still covered by warranty. This will depend on where and when you bought the phone.In markets like the USA and Canada, Samsung offers a one-year limited warranty. In Europe, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is covered by a two-year warranty.If you bought your Galaxy Z Fold 6 in the USA or Canada later in 2024 or in 2025, your device may still be covered by warranty. If you bought the Galaxy Z Fold 6 in Europe, you are guaranteed to be covered by the 2-year warranty as of this writing.Under warranty, Samsung will replace your Galaxy Z Fold 6 screen protector and make your inner screen look like it's brand-new at no cost. But what if this isn't an option?What should you do if your Galaxy Z Fold 6's warranty has expired?If your Galaxy Z Fold 6 is no longer covered by the manufacturer's warranty, you should still try to get the built-in screen protector replaced by an authorized Samsung shop. A screen protector replacement will set you back around $20.Finally, it's worth noting that, according to some users, a worn-out screen protector that has started to bubble could damage the foldable screen if left unchecked. These users claim that it's better to remove the protector as soon as it starts detaching from the foldable panel rather than using a bubbly screen protector for a prolonged period.This is anecdotal, and once again, Samsung strongly advises against removing the screen protector. The company says that the protective layer is essentially a part of the foldable screen's structure. Then again, once the screen protector starts detaching from the foldable panel, it is no longer a part of that structure, so it may very well be detrimental to the foldable display's structure at that point.Whether you take Samsung's word for it doesn't really matter. If you decide to remove the screen protector, you will do so at your own risk. If done incorrectly, you will break the foldable screen, and repair costs will be much higher.In conclusion, the Galaxy Z Fold 6's foldable screen is unlike other rigid panels, and the screen protector is considered a part of the screen's structure. Removing it yourself, regardless of whether or not it has defects, can damage your screen. It's best to look for a way to replace it at a Samsung repair shop.Lastly, if you're having issues with the Galaxy Z Flip 6's foldable panel, you may have the option to trade the phone for a discount on the newer Galaxy Z Fold 7.
