Important Usage Precautions for Foldable Smartphones
🔍 Why Usage Precautions Matter
Foldable devices use a flexible display layer that is more delicate than conventional smartphone screens. Following recommended handling guidelines helps to:
Preserve screen durability
Prevent accidental or avoidable damage
Maintain optimal performance over time
⚠️ Essential Precautions for Foldable Phones
1️⃣ Do Not Remove or Replace the Screen Protective Film
The main display comes with a factory-applied protective film
Removing or replacing this film yourself may damage the screen
Any damage caused by removing or altering the protective film is not covered under warranty
If replacement is required, it must be done at an authorized OPPO Service Center
2️⃣ Avoid Pressure from Sharp or Hard Objects
1. Do not place items such as:
Keys
Coins
Cards
Other hard objects on the main screen
2. Avoid using the device in environments with:
Sand
Dust
Metal particles. These materials can scratch or damage the flexible display surface
3️⃣ Do Not Apply Force to Protruding or Edge Areas
1. Avoid pressing hard on raised sections or edges of the foldable display
2. Applying pressure with sharp objects, including fingernails, near the top or bottom edges may:
Deform the display
Cause permanent screen damage
4️⃣ Creases and Folding Sounds Are Normal
A visible crease along the fold is a normal characteristic of foldable displays
Soft sounds during opening or closing are also normal
These do not affect performance, durability, or lifespan
The device can be used confidently without concern
