Geektastic: Must be time for the Fold 5 thread soon!

Don't say that! My Flip 4 was dropped off at home by courier today apparently!

Rumours abound already (teardrop hinge etc) and I would be surprised not to see it around the same time as the 4 was released last year.

Has anyone come across this? It looks like "dirty" under the crease:

It's the adhesive seperating.

Samsung will replace for free :)

Tue screen protector is gone. This is under the screen.

Definitely not the screen protector. It's larger now and touch is dead on the right side...

That looks like a lot of other photos on reddit of the panel snapping

That's a shame. I was hoping the fold / flip screens would last but alas they don't. Might have to wait a few more years for the tech to mature enough for me to fork out 3k.

Is that a 3 or a 4?

A 4 would surely still be under warranty?

This topic is about Z Fold3.

This is a PR device, no warranty on it.

Wow, that’s not good!

Most retail ZF3s will still be under the 2 year warranty and I would suggest people might have a pretty good case under the CGA for such a primary failure, even outside warranty. Unless, of course, the phone has been mistreated, because Samsung made a big deal about the durability of the fold system.

I got a software update today

i was holding off posting here till i was all sorted but i may be out of the Fold game for now..

my ZF3 failed a few mths ago, samsung to their credit fully refunded me the purchase price, which was great .. but the whole process took over a mth.

basically i had a launch day fold 3, and absolutely zero issues with it until suddenly at the airport one day, just after an OS update ..the thing overheated, and i guess that resulted in a lifting of the back glass to the point of a gap appearing, and also the hinge failing in that it would not open past say 99% or so ..

just made me realize these devices are really pushing the limits in thinness.

went to a A54 after that and , being my first time with a slab this size ... kinda find the idea of going back to the narrow folded form factor of a F3/F4/F5 ? not that appealing .... sammy really need to follow google i think and move to the more squat screen ratio
