Phone is just a little over 1 year old and the speakers have failed inexplicably and without reason and it is unable to be repaired. Not worth the cost.

I am going to preface this with I didn't want this phone. Iwanted a 20+ but after 3 failed attempts at receiving the phone I ordered, Samsung stopped making it. So I settled for what Iwas told is next best. WRONG!!! After 4 months, I opened the phone and tapped on an icon only to have the LED screen in that spot go black. Now months after having the replacement, the front screen OFTEN freezes and I closed the phone with the LED screen working just fine, only to open it again less than 30 seconds later and there is now a black stripe going through the fold and the left half of the screen doesnt respond to touch. And of course because I got a chip on the back glass 3months ago I have to pay a $250 deductable for a replacement. Just a phone that works consistently. Especially if you're going to charge aslmost $2000 for it.

With out boring you....this phine is no good. 6 months in front screen stopped working. 4 months into the "replacement " front screen stopped working , and main screen blacks out and don't respond. You have to master reset. Guess what...they don't Warranty the "replacement " Your warranty goes back to the original purchase date. Doesn't seem fair since the phone has never worked. The idea is super cool and the strength of the phone is awesome and the things you can do with it are priceless but I feel like this one was rushed and not ready there's something wrong with the software. I won't be folding no more.

I signed up for the Samsung Galaxy Fold 3 this last Spring/Summer, and have had to put in 4 insurance claims due to the screen inside and outside Breaking. Really wanting to jump into the Fold 4 because it has the gorilla glass, but after experience I am having with Fold 3 phone, I doubt it. I am a little nervous of paying for broken screens. Otherwise Fold 3 Phone itself is GREAT! Love using it and size is really handy. Picked it honestly due to losing my near sidedness and have a hard time reading small print.

At first glance and take home of this device, it was simply amazing. The big screen to watch movies on a long plane ride. Seeing your images in large 5*7 type feel. Ease with manuerving messages, emails etc. It started as the perfect phone. But the phone is sensitive. Opening and closing of the middle portion of the screen started to make a black line in the screen that just kept expanding. So its very sensitive. 1st one had to be replaced after 3 months of use do to screen starting to black in the middle of the phone. Then came my 2nd. Same thing. Everything was amazing out of the box. I tended to be more careful with opening and closing the big screen to avoid the nasty black line between the two screens, but about 8 months in, same thing and only got worse. About to recieve my 3rd Samsung fold now. I was offered the Fold 4 this time, I am hoping it will last longer then 6 months. I had such high hopes for the phone and I am an avid Samsung user. All my phones for nearly 2 decades have been samsung, I hope Iphone doesn't come out with a fold that is more durable. Battery life in real time is about 6 to 8 hours. Obviously it really is 3 screens on one device, so the more you use it the faster the battery drains. The concept is lovely, but still needs lots of work

So, the Zfold 3 was basically a chance for Samsung to field test a foldable screen before actually putting any work into a foldable device. They had already been making foldable in China for a while, but they weren't sure about America, I guess. Anyway, we got their initial offering which was the cave man's carved stone wheel. The crease down the center, the horrible updates where your fingers keep closing out the screen, the screen on certain apps like Facebook shutting down, or minimizing for no reason at all lol, horrid screen protectors that come with the phone that as soon as they start to peel people think their phone is coming apart, they actually had a few Zfold 3's screens detach. Welp, as of January 21st of 2023 Samsung is already announcing the Zfold 5, yes, they are about to release the ZFOLD 5 lol. Supposedly they have decided to put in actual effort on the 5th edition by increasing the folded screen size, and working on the crease issue. Basically the Zfold 3 is obsolete. Don't even buy it, unless you want to add it to your collection of Zfolds, not sure why you would do that. So, if you are in the market for a Zfold, or you are about to get out of your old phone, and into a new one, just wait a little bit longer. In a few months you'll have the Zfold 5 available, and none of the issues that come with the 4, 3, or 2, will be around. The Zfolds haven't been out that long, and it's already at the 5th edition. I feel cheated in a way. I feel like I should've been paid to have this phone since they upgraded so fast. It's just not worth it to get the 3.

So this phone I really loved at 1st it function great the opening of the screen to a tablet size was awesome and I really loved it but then after continuing your use the increase in the middle form the huge bubble And even now the crease is very visible but that wasn't the biggest problem the biggest problem was it would disconnect from my network and tell me I wasn't registered to a network it off and I would have to wait like 20 minutes for it telery connect to the network I've had 2 SIM cards replaced and I did not do the trick and I doordash for a living so this thing would cut out in the middle of a doordash and tell me I had no network at all . Works great if you can connect to Wi-Fi at your home but out door dashing not a reliable phone at all. And the fact that you have to buy the stylus by a c Charger separate is ridiculous every other phone comes with a charger. I'm. I'm really looking at the Z fold 4 but I'm afraid I might have the same issues I don't know if I just got a lemon or if this is the case with all the Z fold trees I talk to my assurian agent and she says she gets a lot of complaints
