Hi, @issuefold4. It is entirely your call, of course, but I'd recommend getting your Z Fold4 inspected and, if necessary, repaired. The inspection would be thorough, so you'd know the cause of the issue and how it can be remedied. You can reach out to our Support Teams here:

https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/contact/contact3/

This would be useful if you just wanted to discuss your options, or if you wanted a Pick up repair being raised on your behalf. However, you can also raise the repair yourself here (with various options being available, depending upon where you live and your own preference):

https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/repair/

If the engineer deems the cause of the issue to not be covered by warranty, you will be provided a quote before any repairs are carried out. If you decline the quote, your phone would be returned to you unrepaired.

Please let us know how you get on.

I have the same issue on my Z Fold 3 but my warranty is over.  I'm sure the repair is going to be costly.  Hopefully you bought yours within 1 Year.  I'm probably going to go back to a regular phone because I think the constant opening and closing of the ZFold creates the black mark on the inside of the screen.

Good luck! I have a Zfold 3 with the black line of death! Started at the top, now it’s all the way to the bottom!
