    I have had mine for 3 days and I CAN'T put it down. I've seen tons of
    videos where they say the camera is inferior but I don't see anything
    wrong with it. My pics are clear as a bell. I came from a Note 20 Ultra
    and I still have it but for now, I will be using this for a while. I
    love the fact it's compact after it's folded. The only complaint I have
    is the damned battery. It takes too long to charge and I bought the
    wireless charger that comes with it and it's extremely slow. I watch
    youtube videos all day at work and I have to recharge it by 1pm and once
    I plug it in, it takes over an hour to almost get full charge from 44%.
    My Note 20 would last me from 9 until almost 6pm with continuous use
    all day and once I plugged it in, within 30 mins it's almost full. This
    thing is EXTREMELY SLOW to charge even with a fast charger. This is
    the most fun phone I've owned and I didn't even notice the crease from
    the beginning.

    I returned my Flip3. The battery was not good enough, even after 3 days. It was not the worst I have dealt with, but when thinking of the price. The camera was really good, I was impressed with it. The build is excellent. About 4 hours screen time was my best at 60Hz screen setting. I almost kept it, it was close.

      Android does takes a few days before it "programs" your habits and makes better use of the battery. The first few days it will be the worse than once it "programs" its self. Maybe you shoulda gave it a couple more days to see if it would have settled at a higher screen time life. I do agree so far, that is going to be the limit, i'm gonna have to start taking a battery pack with me more often than not, coming from a pixel 4xl.
