Top Precautions for Galaxy Flip Phones

 

A new generation of phones has arrived, and everyone is eager to get their hands on the exciting technology - but there are a few things to be aware of first. Since the new Galaxy Z Flip phones are the first type of phone to use Ultra-Thin Glass, people need to be a bit more careful in certain situations.

Top Precautions for Galaxy Flip Phones

The phones offer a slew of new capabilities, but the glass needs to be more protected. Now is a better time than ever to invest in affordable and durable ITSKINS phone cases to give your phone a long, accident-free life. Below, we’ve listed some of the top precautions for Galaxy Flip phones that you should be aware of before acquiring a device of your own. 

Don’t Wedge Your Finger Between the Screen

These flip phones are a novelty because they can open and close like the flip phones of old, but with an intact touch screen on both sides. Since this technology is still so new, it’s a little sensitive. When unfolding your device, don’t wedge your finger between the screens to get it open. Simply lift one half up and unfold it from the outside. 

Do Not Use Sharp or Hard Objects

Sometimes we are tempted to tap our phones a little too hard when we are frustrated or when a certain feature isn’t working. This won’t work for too long with Galaxy Flip phones. Sharp and hard objects pressed directly onto the glass could damage the glass forever. It could result in scratches, warps, bends, or breaks that could be really costly to repair. It is also recommended to not put pressure on any of the camera lenses. 

Do Not Use Your Phone As a Wallet

Just as you are advised to not put your finger in between the screens, you also should not put any other objects in between the screen when the phone is folded. This includes credit cards, loose change, sticky notes, keys, or anything else. You could damage the main screen, and you can even bend the screen out of shape, making it close improperly in the future. 

Stay Away from Spills

This might be a given, but it’s really important to never allow any type of liquid to enter your phone. The Galaxy Z Flip Phones are a little water-resistant, but they are not at all waterproof. Keep liquids and particles away from your phone at all times. Invest in a protective case for your phone for an added layer of security. 

Avoid Magnets

Most cell phones are highly affected whenever something reacts to the magnets inside the device. Keeping your phone near other magnetized objects, such as a credit card, bus pass, or access card, could risk damaging and demagnetizing those other items.

It is also important to speak with your doctor if you have a pacemaker about whether it is safe for you to use this phone. It is also important that your phone is not nearby in the event that cardio defibrillators need to be used.
