    Panic7v, 21 Apr 2023After years of iPhone, I wanted to try something different ... morehad the same experience, starting from the razr, flex displays are still experimental all i can say, it's not worth the premium. I'll give it another 2 years perhaps before investing on any folding options.

      Promise myself never buy phone without sd card :)

        After years of iPhone, I wanted to try something different and went for a Huawei P30 Pro. I loved this phone, but got the offer of a Fold 3 just before my contract ended. I decided to go for it. It looked exciting and the prospect of unfolding to a bigger screen was too much not to take the deal.
        When I got it, I won't lie, I was a bit disappointed with the front screen. It was very narrow and I barely used the phone in this state other than to read a message or notifications etc...
        Other than that, it was a great phone. A few months in, and the protective plastic over the folded screen split in the middle. At the time, I didn't know it was the protective screen and was worried I'd made a huge mistake.
        That weekend, I was in London so visited the Samsung store in Westfield, who replaced it for me free of charge.
        A few months later and the same thing happened again. Again, I went to a different Samsung store in Leicester, and again, it was replaced.
        You guessed it... another few months and it happened again, only this time, under the protective cover were splits in the actual screen. By now, I was out of warranty.
        I found it annoying that having looked after phones, never dropping them, never submerged one in water, not so much as a cracked screen, and my current phone was doing it all by itself!
        I noticed too, that when people around me on the same sim contract, had plenty of signal, I had very little and call quality wasn't great.
        Around 18 months after first lifting my new phone out of its box, the screen would go black randomly, the speakers wouldn't play sounds clearly without some white noise, and the phone has become unfit for purpose.
        I still have to pay the device off, but have had to buy another phone, which is great.
        Nothing against Samsung as I know there are other foldables out there, but I would be wary about a foldable going forwards, based on my experience with this phone.

          I was extremely proud of this phone when I was gifted but after 14months of use it developed a black line on the crease and the right side became unresponsive. Very disappointed after all the care and light use as a secondary phone. Has Samsung improved on the Fold 4?

            After 16 months of use, I found that the crease portion could not be written on using the S-Pen. Then, after 17 months, I encountered a problem with the WiFi connection. I took it to a Samsung service center where I was informed that both issues were related to the LCD and would require a replacement that would cost half the price of the device. This was surprising as my Samsung TV had also faced an LCD problem, and my Samsung watch had undergone an LCD replacement last year. As a result, I have decided that my next gadget will not be a Samsung product, and I promise to stick to this decision.

                The z fold is designed to be unfolded at most times just like how they pack it inside the box. If you keep it folded for a long time, the touch sensor on the crease will break along with the pixels which could result to loss of sound, touch response and worse bleeding of dead pixels.

                So my advice to keep the phone unfolded inside your home or office. Fold it when really needed like you want it to put in your pocjket.

                      Excellent device after 3 months of use. Cameras maybe average but quite good, and this inner screen is absolutely great, literally tablet in pocket. So much more use than basic smart phone. Very solid and good quality, so far no problems at all.

                          Ebony, 25 Oct 2022I want to trade my note 20 ultra with this, will I have a ... moreI've traded my Note 10+ with this last year during preorder. I REGRET. I have had Samsung since The first NOTE till 10, as well as many other Samsung phones, but NONE are so weak as this phone. The protective cover started to buble in within 6 Month and even with Samsung care we need to pay to replace it. And the advertised strong folded frame scratched badly when it incidentally hit a corner of a cashier desk when shopping and that was since day 2. Another time the phone felt down from my bed to a wooden floor and the back cover cracked! SO EASY. And at last after only 1 year and 3 months it no longer can be booted. Its completely DEAD (Actually this phone wasn't even my daily driver, I am using it mainly to work with my Samsung watch 5 pro. I am suggesting to you: choose another Samsung model IF you really want to exchange.

                                  Hi fellows, the fold3line have Birth Defects. I bought 512gfold3 at launch, after 11months the WiFi broken. I then head to service center.After the fix, I wanna trade. Although they replaced the whole new shell, there're a challenge at fold3trade. Those shops did not accept my (brand new)fold3 cause it been fixed by samsung,which surprised me. Reason: samsung had broken seal,it no longer waterproof. Moreover, the resell value is only 1/3 left at both retail shops& 2nd market in just a year, but I settled finally.
                                  Don't get me wrong, I still like samsung, but just not the experimental fold phone.

                                  The link shows who suffered, the comments too.

It just happened yesterday. My phone would not make a sound unfolded. But when folded it plays the sound. Very odd. I then searched it (on reddit, XDA) and it was common too. I was surprised and I believe I was lucky to have not yet surpassed the warranty period. I brought it to Samsung Service Center and they said the inner screen needs to be replaced. It was a hinge problem that was causing the audio to disappear when unfolded. This is very scary. If I was out of warranty I would have needed to pay around $500 to replace it. I will sell it once it is done. For now, the Folding phones and flips have not proven their reliability.
