this phone stinks! i have not put hard use on them and gone through two phone screens that do not allow you to see anything - looked like a black blob, insurance won't cover , made me go through samsung and no phone.in the meantime so i had to buy a new one! battery is pathetic, takes at least 3 charges / day and i uses less than most people i know. do yourself a favor and do not buy this piece of junk. know i have to either get another one- only way insurance works or buy outright anothr phone. asurion is the worst and will not give them another dime!

Just my two cents. That's not because you can fold this phone that you absolutely have to.
I bought this phone thinking the fold aspect was neat. The little bump in the middle is not an issue. You get used to.
After a few days i realised i can't bother stressing that the phone will break on folding... even though some users have tested 300k.
Can i carry that phone without folding it? Yes. Do I want to change to a regular phone? Yes and no.
This phone is for experienced users or (sadly) you can expect a low lifespan.
This phone is like taking a plane, every time you take one, every time you fold it, you roll the dice... can you live without taking the plane? yes
See... a plane has two wings just like this phone...
And what does the planet says about planes?

Monu, 01 Mar 2023Hey, We are talking about THE zflip 3 here , not any Noki... moreIf you turn it off when going to bed and don't use the screen for hours every day, 4-5 days is possible with most modern phones.

Never had any issues, besides the default screen protector starting to peel around the crease after ~15 months of daily use.

Had the Flip 3 for +1 year now.
Nothing wrong with it at all performance wise, nothing.
The flimsy screen foil needed replacing, but that's not a biggy, replaced with Whitestone Dome protector, so much better.
Very happy with the F3 and will get the F5 next.
This F3 will become a very good back up phone.

Until some days ago, I used to be an avid defender of this phone, but it's completely disappointed me. After eleven (11) months of usage, air bubbles appeared on the screen protector, right over the crease. It was quite annoying, but it could be easily replaced, so it really wasn't that big of a deal. The serious problem happened two days ago, after fifteen (15) months of usage, when a white line appeared on the middle of the screen (right where it folds), and its upper half became completely useless. Content can be seen, but it doesn't respond to touch anymore.
I immediately switched to an old phone, so the Z Flip had been off until today, when I turned it on only to find out the line kept expanding, and some pixels over the crease have died. Also, there is a small part of the lower half of the screen which also doesn't work anymore (but even if overall it's usable, that side of the screen also flashes an intermittent light that makes me think it won't be long until the entirety of the screen becomes absolutely unusable).
I've loved the practicality of foldable phones, but I'm never buying another one again. I'm sure this wasn't my fault: it happened out of nowhere. I didn't drop it nor hit it with anything; the phone was literally lying over my bed when these issues began. I'm so upset.

i still have it since the beginning. Tall display is better for apps, basically anything except videos. It's ultra thin, super light for nowadays sad standards and is very durable. After all that time, i have zero scratches anywhere. Nothing on the screen, frame or back. Absolutely no case ever worn. That didn't happen to me in decades of flagship promiscuity.
From time to time you need to replace the foil.
Dex, USB3 - you DONT need that. I flash every 3 months, and waste 2 more minutes because of USB speed.

Worst phone I ever bought. The screen malfunctioned after the first 3 months of owning. It randomly ghost touches everywhere and the top 1/3rd of my phone does not respond to touch.... I hate opening the thing. I can barely text on it and have called the police by accident multiple times.....

Samshng lost my trust in flip phones.
The phone stopped charging when flip is open couple of days after the warranty expired.
When I took to the service center they told that I had to change screen costing 50% of the phone price!
I didn't understand why does they need to change screen when phone is not charging.
I would not suggest fold phones at present as I believe that the technology has not been developed yet!
It needs few years of testing until the flip series becomes reliable.

A conflicted phone, a story when weaker battery and flagship meet.
Phone has 3300, which is fine, and its better than the Moto Razr and most Iphones standing today. Lasts about 4 hours on saver mode if you dont tend to gaming.
Despite the low battery, it has some flagship features, such the 120hz display, water resistance and stereo speakers. Unfortuantly, unlike the S10e which had DeX despite the 3100 battery, the Z flip 3 doesnt have DeX.
Software support is great. Phone shipped with Android 11, Upgraded to Android 13, and supposed to last until Android 15 and security updates until 2026. Great one, samsung.
You can really find screen protectors for phone like this, except for hydrogel ones you can find on Aliexpress. So if youre careful about your phone, this phone is for you

I've been use this phone for like.. 6 months i think? I bought it in March 27 2022, yeah i know several months later the flip 4 came out, back to the review.
This phone is great! The camera quality is good for a 12 megapixels, for gaming this phone is the best since it using the 8 gen 1 and the RAM is 8 gig, the phone fit on my hand. The only thing you need to do is use this phone carefully and don't buy this phone just to test how strong this phone is.
The cons is the battery, 3300 MAH is small for a modern phone, even samsung 4500 MAH is draining fast.. so yeah if you used it for game all the time the battery will not withstand long..
By the way sorry for my bad grammar, i hate studying english

Don't ever buy Flip 3 phones. It's the worst and Samsung will loot you. Within a year of purchase, the screen gave up and there are green lines everywhere plus it doesn't switch on when flipped open. To top it, Samsung Customer Service is pathetic.

I've been using it now for almost 8 months.
I will only say- it's not made for playing games. I mean - you can play games if it charging it every 2-3 hours doesn't bother your.
Everything else, from my experience - great! No regrets buying it.
P.S. Careful buying phone cases from aliexpress though, not the best fit..
