    Thanks for looking the thing over. I was just blown away that, while this happened and yes I got duped into buying the shiny thing with the stupid new features, I got sent in 4 different directions on how to get the thing replaced. Between Telus, Samsung, the Insurance Company and the shop I bought it at, none of them wanted to help me. They all tried to pass the buck. At the end Telus said they would exchange it for something else. I'm hoping to get my hands on a Nokia 3310 No more bells or whistles for this guy.

    On the z flip 5, Samsung applies a screen protector, and says it is not removable. They do advertise 1 free replacement (of the protector, not the screen) if it becomes damaged. I had the 4 and that had a screen protector from factory that was advertised as removable but not recommended. It had bubbling after a few months and I took it off. Later I had cracking in the hinge section. Samsung did replace it under warranty, and I later traded it in for a flip 5. I wonder if I will have the same issues with the 5.

    Glass isn't subject to work hardening. Its material properties are very unlike plastics and metals. You'll find that some semi-crystalline and all amorphous plastics tend to exhibit more repeated stress failures than other plastics though - try breaking a polyester (semi-crystalline but generally highly-oriented) water bottle by flexing it repeatedly vs. snapping off its HDPE pop lid hinge. We've all seen similar repeated stress failures in polypropylene, more weakly semi-crystalline, and ABS, amorphous, but again glass is more like good polyester if you want to draw a comparison for fatigue. Polyester with a bi-axially oriented semi-crystalline structure (Mylar brand name) is what's used to make modern drum heads for musical instruments and can be subjected to tens of thousands of wear cycles with almost no degradation unless the drummer exceeds the material's stress limit - wear actually tends to come from the constant tuning stress stretching the material over time or a harder than designed for impact. All that being said, there is clearly a failure mechanism the manufacturer is still working out here, but it's almost certainly not work hardening.

Every human being in my life likes to keep their phone around until the manufacturer bricks it with a software update. The phone before this one lasted me 7 years and I'm going on 3 years with this model. If I spend $500 on a device it had god damn better not be designed to fail. I know it's designed to fail because every piece of plastic I've ever put a crease in and folded and unfolded repeatedly has snapped.

    I have used this principle to stack beer cans to the ceiling. You start with a "loose" column of stacked cans. The very last can is twisted so to make a spring between the loose stacked cans and the ceiling. This will cause compression throughout the entire stack. The cans will act like "rope" to the point you can form the stack in different configurations. Flick cigarette butts at it and it will not fail because the stack is under compression.

    Been using my Flip3 for 2+ years now. I LOVE it. It's so nice to close and just stick it in your pocket. The factory installed screen protector started to peel after about a year. It was super easy to replace. I hate the Samsung version of Android (I much prefer stock Android), but the hardware itself has been a joy.

What he doesnt understand is since I always get the cheapest phone, The cheapest one that is 6 months newer than the last one I had has a gooderer camera than the last.

    I too have stopped buying expensive phones. Cheap phones are a lot tougher. I'm a builder and I've had my phone for well over a year with no case and no screen protector. I've dropped it on concrete countless times, keep it in my tool belt rubbing up against tools and getting covered in abrasive silica dust, rain, and whatever else. Haven't killed it yet. All the flagship phones I've bought have lasted less than 6 months.

    Experienced "slippage" with my pixel watch. The back plate is literally just glued on with no mechanical attachment at all. So I took the watch off my wrist and the plate just fell one day. The run around that ensued was infuriating and I eventually got them to send me a refurbished watch for free, despite having paid for a new watch that fell apart under regular use after 4 months.

    Iv bein rocking these fold/flip phones since the first gen, bein hot or too cold is a definite killer on these devices. The fold is better for this reason since you can use the front screen until the device is normal operating temp. Im in the caribou where iv used it ice fishing or laid in in the snow under the car or even had it welding. If it's open and it's cold, you leave it open till it warms up id almost argue it would be common sence tho that's not a frequent trait of many these days lol 😅. Also I bought my fold 3 used for less then a new contract yeah warranty isn't a thing but I'm already over 3 years so I'd say it wouldn't matter anymore anyways.

    I think the more likely cause of the break is directly to do with the additional layer of material that is the screen protector, if you imagine the screen bending when you fold it without the screen protector, it will take a certain "path", now do the same thing but with the screen protector in place, the protector will want to take the same route the screen did and will push the screen out and stretching it causing the break. If you think of a car axle turning and the wheels moving diffrent distance just on a smaller scale

    I've had a zfold for over 3 years. My wife has had the flip 3 and flip4. I have seen others at my work used the flip for years. I have noticed an interesting pattern that causes the inside folding of the display area to crack. Many had the factory display cover bubble up and would remove it completely. Those that did would often have the inisde crease crack within six to 8 months. I was guilty of the same and satrted to notice my crease in the fold start to crack at the outer edges. At this point, I installed a display cover back, and after over a year, it stopped the cracking from spreading further. I think Samsung should mention that the display cover it comes with isn't just there to protect it from scratching, but it seems to provide some kind of structural support that prevents the center of the display from cracking. Opening it when the device is too cold can also do this. I've used mine multiple times on Prudhoe bay Alaska, but i try not opening it when its extremily cold out.

    I had this thought that time cannot be repeated and therefore time travel is impossible so I took some flack for the idea. You are my second witness AvE, so I want to thank you. All this took place within a conversation about symbiotic relationships being proof the time-based theory of evolution is an impossibility. I was looked at like I had become covered in warts all the sudden (proof the leftists have been brainwashing students for decades). My theory of how all things are in the "is" by means of harmonics is consistant with your explanation of the rigid being embeded with the flexible in a sort-of Ying & Yang existence makes sense to me. I could not understand how no one else would entertain the idea, not that it matters in my perception of what is which has not changed for a very long time. "Can any one thing exist without the other?"...has been my conversation starter for decades (four and a half to be more precise) and only one (today) other person has ever said the same basic perception...makes my day that someone with much higher IQ (you) has stated a like view as someone like me who is more on the simple mind throttle foundation of life. I'm slower than most people and I know it, and I think of it as a gift from above where my Father sits and laughs with me about many things daily. It's good to be who we are!

    This is not a phone if you have a dirty or laborious job, that is what my work phone is for. I bought a z flip 3 about a week after release. It lasted without fail until my young niece tried bending it the wrong way. It still worked but the crease displayed the same issue shown in this vid. Traded it in for a z flip 5. No issues since i've had it. Love the waterproof rating on it and how compact it gets while still being able to use the front screen for music. Perfect phone for kayaking and camping, even with just a cheap thin case.
