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

✅ Final Thoughts

Foldable smartphones combine innovation with precision design. By following these basic care guidelines, users can enjoy a reliable and long-lasting foldable experience.
