I had bought Samsung galaxy Z fold 4 in January last year and it worked very well and was useful for 1st year. Then 3 months after expiry of my phone's manufacturer warranty, one day the WiFi stopped working. I looked for online help and realised it's a hardware issue. Then I headed to Samsung galaxy store. After explaining the issue briefly, the attendant smiled and replied, It will take at least one week and AED 1650 to fix the issue. This is more than 1/4th of original phone cost. I decided not to repair it until I have a spare phone. In the following week the display started flickering. Then one days I realised second SIM slot was not working and later on even the first SIM slot stopped working. Next day the front camera stopped working and few hours later the front display stopped working. The only way to use the phone was through big internal screen which also stopped working next day. Now this phone is absolutely useless with all my data not backed up because of WiFi and SIM slot issue...
When I asked for quotation from other mobile phone service centers they said this issue is very common and the screen costs a bomb with which all the other parts are connected and repairing the phone is impractical because of exorbitant costs.
When I shared this with my colleagues they advised me to put this experience in public forum for awareness. And hence this long post. Thanks for reading and avoid buying into this primitive technology.

Welp... after 2 and a half months of usage... the flex cable that connects both ends of the phone broke and now it won't boot or even charge the battery.
It was refurbished so that could be part of the reason. So i will try to get the new cables to replace and either repair it at the shop or myself.
My new main will be a Galaxy S21+ for the meantime.

Anonymous, 19 Feb 2024Do not get this phone. Had this in November 29, 2022 thru S... moreand they left the phone drained. Then I was told that they can repair it for roughly half the price of the brand new device. It also seemed that they opened the device due to marks and scratCHES, AND NOW THE device is completely unusable.

I even had this raised to smart, and o feed until now. I brought it to a samsung service center as advised by Smart Telecom, I left it there, but when I picked it up as they said it was out of wARRANTY,

ShaShikha, 23 Jan 2024Hi, I need an honest opinion, I'm looking for a device... moreDo not DO NOT GET A Z FOLD 4. BATTERY not near as big as it should be for the screen! (WHAT were they thinking). Also, screen will eventually, without exception- get a whote jorizontal line across the inner screen. Its so bright that you cant concentrate on thd rest of the screen. They need to work ot the bugs on another good idea not yet come to fruition. I am getting a replacement (insurance funded) - a z fold 5! They gave me a crappy 256 gb storage when my z fold 4 was ONE TERABYTE MODEL! They still want 150 bucks! How many times do i need to pay for this phone? Stick with the s22, s23,and s24 - all ultras. They are the best!

Hi, I need an honest opinion, I'm looking for a device that I can use for work with PowerPoint Word and Excel files, and also for VDO calls through line and Zoom where I can share my PowePoint slides, is this device recommendable for this kind of work? Thanks in advance.

Can no longer unfold fully after 1 year and 5 months. Extremely dissapointing for a 4th generation foldable from a giant tech company. I understand you also have to pay if you want this fixed as it does not fall under warranty although plenty of time left under the 2 year warranty. Never buying a foldable again let alone a phone from Samsung.

After one year broke the screen in the middle where it folds without falling down It seems its not the best quality for folding phones.

curious, 22 Nov 2023got fold 4 oktober last year..all run smooth..really love i... morefew days after, "Serious software issue detected" notification pop up. waited patiently for android 14 in an expectation to resolve the issue in hand. Once updated on 21 December 2023, to my disappointment, the problem persist!
reminder to myself, stay away from foldables! yes it fun to use, yet "sudden death" will hunt you.
