I've had my Fold 4 for over 1 year now. I had to have it replaced through warranty because I dropped it and cracked the screen. I had to pay a $250 deductible but other than that I still enjoy it. The downside is I find myself wiping the screen every time I unfold it due to the dust.

I would do that if it wasn't so expensive.

I have the Galaxy Z fold 4, this is the first thing I did at the store after I purchased it, I took off the screen protector that comes with the phone and immediately put a liquid glass screen on it, An I haven't had a problem with the screen on the inside or the outside, it was the smartest thing I ever did, because that liquid glass screen did the trick, and the phone is still in pristine condition and works like a champ, and a week ago I got my 6.1 update and I have no complaints, I passed up the Z- fold 5 because Samsung doesn't have enough changes an advancements on Z fold 5, and it looks like the Z fold 6 isn't going to have enough advancements and features just like the Z fold 5, so it looks like I'll have to wait and see what the Z fold 7 has enough changes an advancements to make me want to upgrade do the Z fold 6, we'll have to wait and see, see you in the next video ✌️in🎩👀😎.

Only issue I've had between my Fold 4 and 5 was the 4's screen protector lifting at the top and bottom of the screen. I used to use it while mowing the lawn in the hot sun for up to two hours, and that heat was certainly enough to weaken the adhesive. Having learned to avoid doing that, I haven't had a single issue with my Fold5.

@@rejjie_DIY I did, since Samsung offered a free replacement where I live. But none of the three I had installed by Assurion stuck permanently, like the original; and worse: the guys installing them were trapping dust. In the end, I ended up removing it and using the screen without a protector; it felt and looked MUCH better, though I wouldn't recommend that to careless people.

My first fold ever was the 4 and I'm glad I waited till that one since the previous ones looked different after the fold 5th looks exactly the same as the 4th. Thankfully no hardware issues at all on my end. But I understand others have.

My Fold 4 stopped working just after the warranty expired so I had to shell out for repair. It’s said that the ribbon cable is known to cause trouble due to bad design. Also the screen protector started to lift at the crease but Samsung has one free replacement otherwise it would’ve been $50 to replace. I’ll stay off Samsung for now. My Flip 5’s screen protector also lifted up at the crease which was free to replace.

When I got my Galaxy Z fold 4 the first thing I did at the Verizon store is take off the screen protector that comes with the phone, and then I put a liquid glass screen over the top, and I haven't had one problem, but I'm not going to update because there's really not that much difference between the Z4 Z5 an Z6, Samsung doesn't give enough improvement to make me want to buy another fold, and until they do I'll just keep my Galaxy Z fold 4, and because I already got my one UI 6.1 update running on my Z4, an my sister has 6.1 on her Z3, if a person doesn't have a fold phone, the fold 6 would be all right, but a person would be better off buying a refurbished Z fold 4 or Z fold 5 and would save a lot of money.

Ugh. Yet another Samsung quality issue

I had this happen to my Z Fold 4 about a month ago. I had to have my inner screen protector replaced about 6 months after I purchased it. It started to bubble in the middle at the top and then ended up going all the way down the crease. Then about 4 months later, I was opening the phone and heard a loud pop and my screen looked exactly like yours. I wasn't sure if it was the screen protector again or something else. I called around all of the replacement shops in the area, but everyone has been out of the screens protectors . I was going to purchase the Z Fold 6 when it came out, but after this event I went ahead got the S 24 Ultra and I'm really enjoying the phone. So now that I know the inner screen itself is ruined I may try to join the lawsuit, thanks for the video.

Your problem is really the disjointed support behind the scenes for the device. As an owner of a fold 5 and a former Samsung in store advocate for T-Mobile I can attest to the amount of times where a customer would have a screen issue that's clearly supposed to be covered under warranty Where they will try their hardest to charge for a repair that is supposed to be covered. I love the fold series and I enjoy using the fold 5 but after this I believe I may go back to the S series of devices altogether if Samsung doesn't start making some meaningful changes.

@rejjie_DIY

Thanks for sharing your Samsung in-store advocate experience! It's hard to blame the support staff when it really is an issue with Samsung's quality / immature technology. Although the Fold 5 has a redesigned Flex Hinge (phone folds flat and 2.4mm less thick) and has a slightly more powerful SnapDragon 8 Gen 2 processor, it appears the inner screen itself remains the same, a 7.6-inch QXGA Dynamic OLED with a resolution of 2176 x 1812, and a 120 Hz refresh rate. I suspect the same for the Fold 6 when it's announced; we'll have to wait and see. Hopefully this video will inform potential Fold owners of the inner screen issues and risks.

@@rejjie_DIY I think you're onto something there.. the reason I outline what I did though was Samsung will promise you one thing, a Samsung service center will promise another and once you get in you will hear another story. I could fully understand if it was just simply "hey, you have physical damage that was clearly caused by user error we cannot honor your warranty" but there's been situations where devices have undergone catastrophic failures through no fault of the user and they still treat it as accidental damage. I believe both sides of this argument to be true; Samsung needs to hold themselves accountable when things go wrong and also make an effort to further improve their display tech. Another thing that just still bothers me is their insistence to relegate the fold series to 4400 MaH after all this time. A phone running two whole displays shouldn't have a smaller battery than a phone running only one.

That's so frustrating to have to deal with.

I had this issue with fold 3 a Nd it happened overnight, I knew this happened either because of temperature/ weather change and the connector connecting both sides snapped inside. Samsung refused straight away but after fighting with samsung they repaired it since I was having 2 months of warranty left but my out screen was damaged as well from a drop which they were claiming that's why they can't cover or repair inside screen. I fought my case via emails and calls and got it done. Since you need to know your rights a d law to get this fixed. I am samsung fan or loyal customer but they can't rip customers like that. #Samsung @Samsung

Good for you!!

less than 6mth of my Fold 3, i had a peel at the top & bottom of the screen protector. Got it replaced at Samsung immediately & sold the phone away. Read too many bad reviews of the screen breaking. I got a fold for the writing as I was a Note user, then S series with spen. However, after getting the Fold 3, I hardly unfold it to use the spen instead. Cons: 1. Heavy 2. Cant use magsafe, too heavy to magnetically mount on my magsafe car charger. Very limited choice for car mount. 3. No slot for spen, ended I hardly use my spen, which was the reason why I have been using Samsung Note & S series. Thinking a bigger screen of a Fold was a great device for writing. But no. Same, I was on the front screen 90%, inner screen 10% or less. I am back to S23 Ultra now.

My Fold4 has the problem when folded, the wif/BT, camera, mobile signal and other basic functions stops. Ive had this for less than 2 years. Base on reading forums, I suspect the flex ribbon is worn out. So, currently Im ordering online flex repair kit which is kinda cheap than having it repaired by samsung as I know for a fact they wont cover it with any kind of warranty. I knew it because it happened the same with couple of my friends with fold4. I'd say its pretty common to have this which is frustrating as this is an expensive gadget. Do I like using the fold 4? YES. But would I buy another or recommend it to anyone? BiG NO! This will probably be my last fold. Hopefully if I succeed in repairing with a flex kit (im still waiting for it to arrive atm) I will squeeze the life out of this phone. Currently Im using it unfolded all the time which sucks big time.

From my own experience fold 1,2,3,and 4 were ALL defective. All of the broke within 12 months and all exactly the same way you described in your video. The fold 5 is the first fold that has lasted without fault and I've had it now for 11 months.. So it seems with the latest fold they have fixed the durability issues but I absolutely support you 100 percent. Go ahead and sue Samsung.
