  "account": "Samsung has clarified that the flexible corners on the Galaxy Z Fold 8's screen are a deliberate feature, not an error. The inner screen's soft corners act as a cushion, preventing damage from impacts and trapped particles like sand. While some users have noticed the flex, others have experienced rigid units. Samsung addressed the issue, stating that the flex is designed to handle everyday wear and tear.",
  "summary": "The company has clarified that the inner display flex is an intentional cushion against sand and everyday impact.",
