Repairing a water-damaged foldable phone
Repairing a Water-Damaged Foldable Phone: What You Need to Know in 2025
Water and electronics have never been friends—and that’s even more true for foldable phones, where advanced hinges, dual screens, and intricate internal components make water damage a serious concern. At Sydney CBD Repair Centre, we’re seeing a growing number of Samsung Galaxy Z Fold, Z Flip, and other foldable devices affected by accidental spills, submersion, or even high humidity.
🔧 Why Foldable Phones Are More Vulnerable
Unlike standard phones, foldable devices are composed of multiple hinges, flexible display layers, and additional moving parts, making them more prone to damage when exposed to moisture. While manufacturers have improved IPX ratings for water resistance, no device is truly waterproof—especially over time.
🚨 Signs of Water Damage in Foldable Phones
If your phone has come in contact with water, watch for these symptoms:
- Black screen or flickering display
- Unresponsive or glitchy touchscreen
- Crackling sound or no audio at all
- Device won’t charge or boot up
- Condensation under the screen
- Non-functioning fingerprint scanner or camera
Even if your phone seems fine initially, corrosion can set in slowly, leading to more expensive issues down the track.
