A Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 owner has undertaken a radical modification, removing the device's rear camera module to achieve a perfectly flat profile.

This drastic measure addresses a design quirk that, while not heavily criticized in reviews, impacts the device's usability for some.

This particular customization has garnered varied reactions online, ranging from disbelief to admiration for the meticulous execution. The desire for a completely flat-folding phone appears to be shared by at least one other user who inquired about replicating the modification. The phone was released alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Galaxy Z Flip 8 models.
