Samsung’s $1,900 Z Fold 8 is still vulnerable to pocket lint

iFixit assigned Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 a repairability score of 4 out of 10 based on its teardown analysis. The device carries an IP48 ingress rating, which does not protect against particles under 1 millimeter, meaning dust and sand can enter the hinge mechanism. iFixit identified the hinge as a primary concern in the repairability assessment.
