Data stored in the device has been lost

Always make backup copies of all important data stored in the device. Otherwise, you cannot
restore data if it is corrupted or lost. Samsung is not responsible for the loss of data stored in
the device.

A small gap appears around the outside of the device case

•

This gap is a necessary manufacturing feature and some minor rocking or vibration of
parts may occur.

•

Over time, friction between parts may cause this gap to expand slightly.

There is not enough space in the device’s storage

Delete unnecessary data, such as cache, using the device care feature or manually delete
unused apps or files to free up storage space.
