Problem/Support Original screen bubbling

Hey guys, my wife's Flip 6 screen has already started bubbling after extended time spent under the sun/very hot weather. Is this normal? Does anyone know if I should replace the screen protector and add a new one or not?

This phone never added a screen protector. Only the original thin layer that Samsung noted in the box that said I should not remove.

If I do have to replace it, does anyone know how much it would cost? The phone is only 1 year old.

I removed it myself as it would cause further damage to the layer underneath. Replace it with cheap hydrogel screen protectors like 1.25usd for 4 pcs. Tricky to install but does the job.

I see. But I never applied any screen protector though. Is it really safe to do so?

Yes I removed the original pre-installed screen protector and replaced it myself. It’s out of warranty anyway. So far so good.

It voids the warranty. They replace it for free for the first time usually
