“I didn’t do anything to deserve this. The phone sat on my desk while I wrote about it, and I would occasionally stop to poke the screen, take a screenshot, or open and close it. It was never dropped or exposed to a significant amount of grit, nor had it gone through the years of normal wear and tear that phones are expected to survive. This was the lightest possible usage of a phone, and it still broke.”
This can happen to any phone of course — there are numerous threads on reddit of faulty S23 phones that are only days old, and of course the first Galaxy fold phones were problematic — but still. Rough start!
Have you used one as a daily driver yet? They’re great!
I started with a SD2, then moved to the ZF4. I loved the Surface, but it’s design caused some issues that the ZF4 doesn’t have. The ZF4 is great, and really shows of Samsung’s software innovations to just the screen real estate.
Not sure I’d go back to a standard slate style phone.
the only reason im considering going back is the price. we already know the fold 5 is gonna be expensive, maybe samsung can drop the price some but not nearly enough for me right now. but im still happy with my fold 3. im not in a position to afford a $1500+ phone right now.
