6 Months Later | Do I Still LOVE the Z Fold 4?

I bought used fold 4 and exactly in 1 day the internal screen damaged! issue with loose hinges pins underneath which is not visible and not covered with warranty.... sold the phone as is with big loss and worst experience with mobiles ever!

Can you give me a update please?

I'm 3 devices in all not folding flat my current one I used pure force to bend the hinge back to flat this hobby have cost me about 6000 Euro this year. Debree in my pocket gets into the hinge and then gets stuck the adhesive broke on all of my phone's and got stuck to the hinge internally I'm gonna buy a motorbike next year instead oh phone's it's ridiculously

Had my Fold 4 making a very similar creak sound when opening for the longest time, and just recently it stopped opening up all the way, just got it back from repair.
Saw you have a very familiar looking purple app installed ;) Keep up the great work!

I bought mine upon release and traded my Note 20 Ultra +. I got 1K off from Samsung with the trade in. I was not sure at the beginning how I would like the phone. Over the months of daily extensive use, I have grown to absolutely love the phone and the form factor. I have had zero issues with the fold and it works flawlessly everyday. I do agree that battery life is shorter especially if you use it more unfolded. But with UFWC, it's a non-issue. Overall, ive not looked back from my Note. I do honestly wish it has a built in S pen instead of the external one. I miss my pen.

Can you expand on the mint mobile?
I am seeing some terrible reviews.
Seems to be hit or miss.
Thanks

My screen protector is separating. I'm not interested in getting this repaired... especially if I have to pay for it. It's ridiculous to not be able to trade this within the warranty period for a different model at no cost

It has many promotions and the cameras are much better than z fold 3

Do NOT buy this phone. They are all defective. I have had a fold 3 for just over a year and the inner screen no longer responds. My co workers all have the same problem, some less than a year. Samsung will not do anything about it as it is out of warranty. But these are all defective from the start. Its BS that they tested these for 200,000 folds! Sure all in a lab and probably highly exaggerated. DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE! Even though this is a fold 4 I am sure it will have the same problem.

I've had my fold 4 since release date. My phone looks brand new and run excellent. It's only gotten better with age. I've dropped it many times, and there are no scratches or fades. The Fold 4 is a tank and is still the best phone out. I will not replace it until the Fold 5 or 6 comes out.

In terms of durability

I used my in a mountain hike, jungle trekking, brought it during Search and rescue mission during the february turkey earthquake,
It remains unscathe. Provided i uaed a spigen case.
The main inner screen is still like new. The original SP is still like new

Subbed for that purple app on the Home Screen 🤜🤛

When the screen protector peels ... it does that on every phone 😂😂😂 u don't really need 1 on there tbh

My fold 4 still like new. Absolutely love it. Wish it was wider like the pixel fold, but I'm super happy. Found a Casetify fold 4 case. Awesome case. Didn't need to use the sticky tape at all, fits snug. Dropped it a few times with zero scratches or dents to the phone or case. My only complaint is that sometimes it runs out of memory or maxes out on processor, so it may freeze for a second after long, heavy use, but it's minor overall . Never going back to plain candy bar phones. I'll wait for fold 6 or pixel fold 2 or 3 for upgrades.

Rocking mine for the last 8 months. Great device, no issues. Never gonna go back to regular phone. But be sure you buy insurance for it

hows the experience of using rear cameras and front screen as a viewfinder for photos and videos, short vlog memories and so on ?

You can replace the screenprotector yourself literally within 10 minutes...

Dont buy Fold Z 4. Terrible device. Prone to screen issues. Samsung will not stand behind the device. So disappointed.

I absolutely love my fold 4 and don't plan on going back to a regular candybar phone. I am very careful with my phone but should note as a warehouse worker I do get a fair amount of dust. However, I've had no crunching, no power issues, and (luckily) no screen protector issues. Every once in a while i notice a bit of sound from the hinge, but it dissapears after a fold or two. This is my daily driver and I really love it. Unless Samsung makes some significant and I mean SIGNIFICANT changes to the phone with the five I'll keep the 4. Battery needs an upgrade as well as the crease that can be very noticeable at times. If they somehow make a boost in these directions with the next upgrade I will get it but for now, it's worth its to keep it as my daily driver for a couple years! What a fun phone!

Love the JW Library app!

Samsung foldables should never exceed 1000$ price these phones is not reliable , its hard to keep these phones for more than 1 year fixing these phone is brand new phone price .


Keeping Samsung foldables is costly too you need Samsung care + in case you face any problem with the main screen changing the screen is very expensive to the point of it doesn't worth it , you need protection cover screen protector etc

I still love mine. I'm not sure if I go back to regular candy bar.

All is top notch, but the Battery goed down so fast

The zfold 2 is the best in my opinion as it is the most durable of all the folds it had the least amount of issues. The zfold 3 is the worst fold in terms of durability 😅 in my opinion as it has the most issues

You say you can't see any problems with the fold in the center. I see a crease all the way across. When you fold and unfold something, it will eventually break no matter how good they build it and at $1800, it's not worth it.

Maybe worth investing in a dust blower in a can to clean up once a week routine.

The hinge is actually a big issue. I love this phone. Its my favorite so far of all my phones.

However i got mine in August 2022 and one day in march my phone stopped opening the entire way.

I baby my phone, never dropped it. I work from home. It wouldnt open flat.

So less than a year in, i have a certified replacement. Still my favorite phone? Yes.

Am i bummed about the hinge and that i didnt even get a year out of the new phone? Yes. Bummed.

The skreen brotrctoer is lifting fur shore. 😊

I replaced a Fold 3 screen protector in 5 minutes after 18 months use. The White Stone "GEN" film for $17.99. Came out literally perfect.
I have used the phone robustly no squeaks or anything. I created a hybrid case using one of the magnetic spine protector cases and an official case. Best phone I have ever used

nice apple watch

the fold 5 looks to be so damn boring I will keep my 4 until it breaks, which it will

I understood the sound from the hinge is not particles. It are the brushes to get rid of them. It is therefor completely normal...

That breaking sound is so idiotic...comes out of nowhere...and the aesthetic of the vidoe is not such...

I turned in my Fold 4 for the S23 Ultra because the middle part of the inner screens pixels were dying. Fold phones are crap

Definitely want this phone and was going to buy it during the pre-order through Samsung. However, after an hour of chatting with a rep, they hung up so I'm holding out for the Fold 5. Is there an ETA?

JW library app? Nice!

I know the build in stylus is more convenient, but as a heavy note -taker, I love the combination of the real-pen-size stylus with z fold 4 now. it has almost replaced my notebook.

I could care less about camera

Dude....you could take the inside screen protector off the fold 3 and replace it yourself. I did it for mine twice. It's not hard nor does it harm the screen at all. That internal display is thinner but it's not as delicate as you're making it out to be. You're being paranoid.

No disrespect my friend , but 6 months or 24 weeks , the phone is still virtually brand new , citing. "durability" at such a short term is almost laughable , I have both my galaxy S8+ and galaxy note 9 which are 5 and 6 years old and in pristine condition , my note 9 I still use , my S8+ still gets a little bit of use a couple of times a week, and neither of these devices have ever needed a repair and have been used to death , and the screens still look great .
don't get me wrong , its good to know they are holding up to this stage , but 6 months of use is hardly durability , come back in two years or three years and I will be interested to see if the fold lasts that long without needing repairs ( I am highly sceptical though mate ).
I do like the idea of the unfolding extra screen real estate , for old eyes , large screens are easier , but I still am not a fan of the delicate screens , not to mention the narrow front screen which is a double whammy if you have less than great eyes and also large ish hands.
In my neck of the woods , the fold is 2K+ costing device , at the higher specced level on the high end of 2K , no s pen , no SD card , no charger or accessories , the small front screen , and still the question mark of durability , for me , its a very hard sell.

Great video… how does the library app look on the fold out screen? That’s why I’m considering one.

Best phone except March update spoiling camera resulting overexposed photos and heavy battery drain..

You can take the screen protector off and put a white stone on it or take it ubreskifix and they will put one on for you I'm still using the fold 3 works and looks like it just came out the box

I bought mine on day 1 and absolutely love it. I never have the case on, never dropped nor scratched it, no crunchy in the gears, no issues at all. And now I get what everyone was saying about Fold phones: once you get one, you just can't go back to a candybar phone again.

My only complaints are minor gripes. I wish the stylus worked on the front cover, wish I could store it in the phone, wish the crease was gone, wish it folded flat, wish it was bigger and closer to a 16:9 layout. That's about it. But again, all of these are minor gripes. I love what it is, but I'm hoping the Fold 5 addresses these nitpicks all the same..

Can upgrade in June. Thinking about this phone but maybe better to what for 5

Technically been 8 months
