Peeling off the protective layer or using any adhesives on the main screen, such as screen protectors or stickers, may cause damage.” then your first foldable phone will be damaged.

When the famous YouTuber, MKBHD tries to peel it off, his Galaxy Fold screen suddenly goes haywire and black-out by itself. Few of the people notice the warning on the packaging, but according to MKBHD, his packaging was not written the warning message.
