Fold7 Hinge Grease?

[Savage12]

Does anyone else have hinge grease coming out of their fold7 hinge mechanism? It seems like some sort of lithium grease or something similar. Should I be concerned about it? Don't really want it on my clothes or hands. 

Thanks!

Fold7 with some sort of grease coming out.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. It seems like there was an excessive amount of grease inside the hinge, and it's working its way out. I would just wipe it off and continue with my day.

Agreed. Just seeing if others have noticed it.

It's an amazing device.

I've seen only a couple of people mention it in the last week or so, but nothing widespread.

@Savage12 That's weird. I've not seen that on my Fold 7. Clean as a whistle.

No issues with the operation of the mechanism so far, hoping it stays that way. It definitely doesn't open perfectly flat like the previous folds, but I'm just astonished at how slim it is.

I've noticed a few instances where I almost drop my phone because of the grease coming out of the hinges.

The rate of grease coming out has definitely slowed with more use of the phone. Seems to be all good now.
