Paint chips

[DarkSorrow]

Noticed this on my week old Z Fold 7. It was never dropped or anything at all.

No. I carry it in my hand. If it's in my pocket nothing is with it.

Hmmm that looks to have touched something

Not that I know of. I'm super careful with my phones.

Quite the mystery. Because the spine of the hinge is actually higher than the edge there. Something to have chipped off quite an area without touching the spine seems unlikely. Could be QC. Will be interesting to see if there are other examples to point to QC.

Very weird indeed

Does it taste like lead? (Don't taste obviously).

I doubt it looking at it from a small screen but is that real carbon fiber or a fake finish? If it were real any any of the fibers are exposed the certainly could wear away at it.

Could it be caused by a case during installation?

Can u try wiping it with fingernail to see if it comes off because by the picture it doesn't look like the aluminum underneath the blue paint

Can you try wiping it with your fingernail to see if it comes off? Because, by the picture, it doesn't look like the aluminum is underneath the blue paint.

Doing that doesn't remove it. I also tried an alcohol wipe, and that doesn't do anything.

I used the Thinborne case. I doubt that caused the chipping.

After carefully looking at the picture ZOOMED in, it almost looks like a paint attached to the side. I could be wrong,

Hmm
Strange how it happened
