[@thetechfromheaven]

But he actually repaired it tho. You might mean they are more fragile and built with planned obsolesence, because Samsungs are very easy to repair, they were the first ones who started offering original replacement parts, and almost all their devices use the same type of screw unlike Apple who used like 10 diferent types and makes repairs a pain.

[@RicoGalassi]

@@thetechfromheaven what I meant is repairs are not user friendly. They require tools and in some cases like this one, they require entirely new chassis that cost a few hundred dollars. 👍🏼

@@RicoGalassi yup, repairs will always scare away the average user. But if you have $1000 burning in a hole, it's a very good idea to invest in repair tools.

This proves that company’s can repair folding phones but choose not to. Love the videos Hugh

[@MrREDSTAR20]

I wonder can you scrape off the paint of the phone to make a clear version it looks awesome on the inside

[@TheCoolDave]

This a factor because of cost. Think of a repair shop. This display cost $350, the shop has to mark it up for a profit, so lets say $50, so now the screen costs $400, then their is labor costs. This is not just heat removing a display and replacing (iPhone and most Android devices), your completely disassembling the phone. This could cost $150+ in labor, so now a $1500 phone is going to cost $550-650 to repair. Most people would just buy a new phone.... When display prices come down so a shop could replace it for $300-$400 it might be an option for them to repair...

[@bosenngantor9160]

@@TheCoolDave the thing is...sparepart price tends to stay the same almost forever, the price of secondhand/ preloved smartphone would simply be 1/2 or 1/3 of the display sparepart itself after 2-3 years after its released

[@Windows98R]

Companies don’t really care for IF they can, it’s a matter of SHOULD they. If I was running a business I’d rather take the decision that consumes less time and money for the same general outcome. And a replacement is more viable as a option. Labor (people) aren’t cheap, they are in fact often the most expensive part of a company expense.

[@TheCoolDave]

@@Windows98R Nah, the first fold phones that came out were canceled because of even the display models cracked very quickly. They were very poor design, and they redid it and with a few revisions they felt it was good. Still the tech is not even close to being ready for everyone. I know people who have had problems with them after a few months and by then the warranty was up. I feel the tech is not ready for the consumer pocket but, to each their own... It's devices like this that keep repair places open and making a profit...

I like the concept of folding smartphones a lot, but I wish they'd ditch the folding screen and make it two separate displays with a tiny line in between them (like dual monitors for a computer). Then have the software treat those two screens as one. Sure it's not as "cool", but it's a lot more practical, durable, and you get the same utility (plus probably at a _much_ cheaper price point). I've only seen one phone do it this way, and I don't recall it getting a lot of attention.

Promptly sold it to a friend after a few weeks (it had complimentary Care+), especially after reports of the screen spontaneously cracking at the crease and getting scruffs at the hinge from normal use. Repairing the screen is expensive if you didn’t get Care+. If you pre-ordered one, you’re one of the lucky ones that get complementary Care+ protection for 1 year and a 25W charger. Right now, they’re selling even slightly used ones for less than half of the retail price because of the cost of repair (especially if you don't have Care+).

The first thing that gets me is how new this is and it already needs repairing, barely a year after it was launched.

[@Squilliam-Fancyson]

Also got a Flip3. Mine is now about 10 month old and shows deep scratches along the folding display part. It seems like the top layer plastic(display foil came off after 6 month of use) broke open. Rly sad because otherwise my Flip 3 proved to be pretty solid. Can't report a worn out hinge or any other signs of wear and tear. So i definitely consider to repair mine. Samsung typically gives you a new screen for 1/2 the typical repair cost(450€) if it breaks within the first year of purchase. 225€ still cheap compared to a whole display assemble

[@desyrachmawati1963]

Same with me, mine is shows scratches, and I dont know why it was happened. I just flip and put it on my pocket, and when I opened it, I was shocked looking the scratches along the screen. Is that human error or defect from the product?

Man, I was with you until I got to go hands-on with a Z Flip 4, I ended up upgrading from my Note 20 Ultra 5G to the Z Flip 4 on the spot and haven't regretted it a bit. I was really concerned with durability as well but it seems like they've worked a lot of the kinks out and from my experience thus.fsr it isn't really much different than having Amy other phone except I don't use the inner display in places that might damage it like anywhere that there are large amounts of particles in the air or stuff flying through the air. I've also been pleasantly surprised by the cover screen. I was concerned about it being too small/narrow for my fat fingers but surprisingly I make fewer spelling errors/mistypes with it than I did with my Note 20 Ultra 5G. It sits in my hand more comfortably than the Note as well, even when unfolded thanks to the way Samsung balanced both halves, and both screens look fantastic! If you have a phone store near you where you can play with one in person I eould highly encourage you to do so. I've been shocked by how different thr phone is in person compared to the idea I had in my head.

I absolutely love the phone, it's the perfect replacement for my old note 8 as I get that note sized screen but it can still fit in women's jeans pockets (crucial as I don't carry a handbag). my biggest worry tho is reparability, I know the screen protector on the front has a tendency to crack over time and replacing it is not an easy process (thankfully the person I bought from had Samsung replace the original before sending it to me but still it's a worry). I suppose I just have to accept that this is not the type of phone I can keep using for 3+ years like my previous ones, tbh if it makes it 2 I'll be doing well. still for the price I paid I don't really mind, top of the line specs and a cool factor that'll impress more than the latest iPhone is pretty good for only £400, hopefully by the time it breathes it's last I'll be able to get a flip 5 for a good price and fingers crossed it'll be out of the early adopters phase by then.

Pre-ordered this phone along with a couple of the Fold 3s direct from Samsung. After 3 months of use, the hinge had lost about 30% of its tension. Wasn't as floppy as the older Z2s that i had seen but nevertheless unacceptable for a new phone. Never dropped the phone or abused it and was encased in a Spigen Tough Armor case. Samsung stated they couldn't guarantee a flawless repair and would carrier lock it. They flat out refused to exchange it stating it was past that point. I ended up losing money on it and just traded it in for an S22 Ultra...got $400 for it. Yeah probably could have sold it privately but unfortunately nowadays, there are just too many shady people out there. I didn't want to deal with that mess as well.

Oppo fold is using samsung screens and repair is identical, yo uneed to get whole module to replace.. which is about 250£ which is like replicing two a year = half value of the phone.. so yes foldable phones = consumable.. I really hope that google pixel fold will be better.. but I ahve my doubts.. buying those phones used.. is a roulette.. so they have zero resell value .. and they are just never as good as slab phones. I guess I will wait another 10 years and check if they advance any more or not.. no point of getting phone when you fear it breaks next time you close it. ( I had razer 2019 and it broke after a year..right after warranty)

What about the labour cost? Don't you add it to the total investment?

And you are good for the next 5 months!

this may sound stupid but can this phone fit easily in the pocket without folding

I bought my z flip 3 for 300 on Amazon just saying a month ago by the way

The reason why most people avoid "flip / fold phones" are this, the screen is too fragile even our own fingernail can easily destroy the screen.

You can dent the plastic layer but not the actual screen

@@brandon_nope Jerryrigeverything try to destroy Fold 2 using nothing but his own fingernail and succeed 😁

3:11 Now I want someone to make a transparent case for this phone, it looks way cooler without the back

Dbrand can give you that look/feel in either a skin form (Flip 3, 4) or a case (Flip 4 only): dbrand.com/shop/special-edition/teardown

[@pickleeggs3340]

but since abit of the screen is seen can you just plug it into a monitor and use dex

[@khan48246]

I don't see where to take off the old screen and where you replace it with the new one...

[@newSpinoza]

Really nice work, you should rename your channel to JeffreysFixEverything 😄

[@lindaparker3610]

It is a beautiful phone ..great job Hugh

[@leebeeskee]

You literally use it like a normal phone except this one has a crease and costs more. Why would that be desirable?
