Every Z Flip That I’ve Broken 😅

Ғылым және технология

I've owned every Samsung Galaxy Z Flip and while I love this phone, I've also had a fair share of problems.

    I had a friend who bought a new phone every 3 months. I didn't believe him until he showed me his so-called "phone pit". He just drops his phone constantly, he refuses to buy a screen protector and a case and when his screen is too cracked to see or the phone dies, he just buys a new one... If he didn't spend all his money on phones, he would be rich af.

    ​@@Kangiru_Noah"Like any other screen" I don'f see anybother screens that ever had a history of just *breaking* in the history of LCDs or oLEDs. Viewing angles? Sure, still an issue today if you buy cheap TN. Burn in? Sure, manufacturers have only been able to do so much to minimize burn in on oLEDs. Power usage? Look at old CRTs and CFL-backlit LCD. Outright breaking from regular wear? Exclusive to foldable oLED, and the only one of these issues that makes the display completely unusable. If the history of issues with displays shows anything at all, it shows that foldables will always be a high wear niche, constantly breaking. Manufacturers will refine them best they can, sure, but they will only be able to lengthen the wear period before it breaks, not eliminate it. So the Z Fold, Z Flip, Moto Razr, and whatever else there is in the foldables space right now are, and always will be, luxury clout items even if the prices go down; even if the prices drop to around $500, they break so often that any regular user will find preference in a traditional slab of glass for convenience, cost, and longevity. Maybe we'll see a foldable display in the future based on MicroLEDs, where the bend point isn't actually a bend point, but more like a line of couple pixel wide MicroLED prints that are microscopically close together and held in place by whatever the front "glass" is.

    For me, I started with the z flip 3 when it first came out, and each year, when the new one came out, I upgraded. Now on the 5 but I never had any problems. I never use casses, and I just dont drop my phone. These phones are definitely more delicate, but dont get one if you're worried about breaking it or something happening out of your control. Also, be careful around beaches with it or any dusty environments. Honestly, whenever I use a normal phone, it feels weird now, so i dont think I'll perosonally switch back soon.

    Wish they would've just made it a normal flip but two touch screens instead. With an easy keyboard display/hide button that always shows. Would've been such a better phone. Would've gotten one even at the steep price

    had the flip 5 for 2 months and the screen was broken. I always had a case and did not use the phone often. brought it back and got my money back. they didnt even question it because they told me they had many brought back. i stick with my "normal" phone..

    I've had my ZFlip 3 5G for 2 years. I noticed my screen protector peel at about 10 months of use, took it off, and now I have no screen protection. There is a small stress crack and it's hardly noticeable. For the price, I'd say mine has held up fairly well, and I will definitely buy again because it's a very convenient phone. My only gripe is that it has no aux port, but I use Bluetooth regularly so it isn't that big of an issue.

    They just don't have the durability. I regret getting mine. After a year the screen was starting to fail, I got it replaced under warranty. But now I don't have a warranty any longer, and It's not worth it to me to pay to repair it, especially if it's going to fail again in short order.

    I love tablet-style foldables more than flip-style foldables personally, and somehow I managed to make my Z Fold2, which I bought shortly after release, last for about 3 years with pretty much no issue. Only VERY recently did stress cracks begin to form in the crease section of the inner display. It still works just fine and I still have it, but I just upgraded to the OnePlus Open about a week and a half ago. I don't know if I was just lucky or if the Z Fold phones are a bit more durable than the Z Flip counterparts. Ever since I started using the Z Fold2, there's no possible way I can go back to regular phones now. I just love having a tablet which can fold and fit in my pocket, ESPECIALLY now that the OnePlus Open is out and the front display on it is basically the same as using a smaller phone, that you can then open to a tablet, or close back to a regular phone effortlessly.

    One of the reasons i never jumped on that bandwagon.

I switched to slab phones in 2010 and just never went back and never will.

    I had the first Z Flip and had folding fatigue cracks after 9 months, replaced it with phone insurance, and the second one had screen damage when I dropped my watch from about 18 inches high onto the open screen, then changed to S22 Ultra. I also miss the folding feature and how small it was in the pocket. But the Ultra has superior Zoom and camera.

Got a dbrand case with better hinge protection and ive been very happy with my fold since then. Isnt cheap or practical, but i love my tablet phone for home use and it a good concersation starter and has many good features

    ….. meanwhile I’m still rocking the same iPhone XR I’ve had since 2019. $540 carried me 4 years due to “bar”/“slate” smartphones having like 15 years of refinement while Austin has likely dropped at least a solid four grand in the same time frame on novelty phones, and this is why I think Apple’s been wise to never make a foldable

    I bought Z flip 4 on october 2022 and the phone already broke down after 8 months of usage, the screen protector peeled off twice in the crease, the screen even didn't turn on when flipped, and the camera quality is kinda disappointing for such price. The flip 4 was a 3rd cycle of Samsung flip but still Samsung couldn't handle the most common problem in flip phone. I sold it for much lower price and switch to S23+ and i am very satisfied with it. Won't look even a glimpse at foldable phone until its durability proven

    As much as I miss flip phones (with physical keyboards), I just don't think these have advanced enough yet. I don't like the idea of seeing a seam in my screen at all times, and the sheer amount of reports of stress cracks is way too high for me to justify paying that kind of money for one.

    Weirdly enough, I have a 2020 Razr 5G and I haven't had any issues like that. It seems like Motorolla nailed their hinge design. The only downside is the flip doesn't feel as crisp as it did when it was new. You can definitely tell some dust or something got into the hinges because it's kinda gritty but otherwise no stress cracking, and no lines across the screen, it still looks like it did on day 1. It kinda sucks because I really miss Samsungs Android skin
