In Pakistan’s buzzing tech community, one story has caught everyone’s attention: a famous Pakistani tech YouTuber (Mastech) recently tweeted a shocking video showing the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7’s display issues after just seven days of use. The clip quickly went viral, sparking debates about durability, after-sales service, and whether foldables are worth the sky-high price in Pakistan.
For a device that costs over half a million rupees, this video has left many buyers worried, and rightly so. Let’s break down what happened, why it matters, and what it means for the future of foldable phones in Pakistan.
Background of Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 was marketed as a game-changer in the world of smartphones. With a massive foldable inner display, cutting-edge multitasking features, and a futuristic design, Samsung promised buyers both innovation and durability.
In Pakistan, foldable phones have always been a status symbol. Tech enthusiasts and luxury buyers rushed to pre-order the Z Fold 7 despite its premium price tag. But with innovation comes risk, and history shows that foldables often struggle with long-term durability.
Tweet by a Pakistani Tech YouTuber
The story broke when a renowned Pakistani tech YouTuber shared a video on Twitter. The clip, reportedly sent by one of his followers, showed the Galaxy Z Fold 7’s inner screen developing visible cracks, and one side shows the display only seven days after purchase.
The YouTuber captioned it with frustration, highlighting how disappointing it was for such an expensive phone to fail this quickly, and heated discussions among Pakistani buyers.
According to the user, the phone was used normally without any drops, water damage, or rough handling. Yet within just a week, the foldable display began showing signs of wear: when unfolding the phone display shows on the right side only, and touch works on both sides, and sometimes it shows the display on both sides.
As per the user’s show, if he unlocks the phone show line is on the right side, if he plays something or normally uses the screen, the screen blinks. These issues raise doubts about Samsung’s “improved durability” claims. Also, Buyers expressed anger at spending over PKR 500,000 only to face display issues in less than two weeks.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 Durability Concerns
Samsung has always claimed that its latest foldables are tougher than before. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 supposedly comes with improved hinge durability, stronger ultra-thin glass, and better water resistance.
But real-world experiences often tell a different story. In fact, foldable displays are still made of delicate layers that remain vulnerable compared to regular flagship phones.
Future of Foldable Phones in Pakistan
The future of foldables in Pakistan depends on how companies handle such issues. If Samsung improves its after-sales service and offers fair warranty coverage, buyers may still trust it. But if these problems continue, foldables could remain a niche luxury rather than a mainstream success.
