      I was just informed by Geek Squad and the northeast. That all fold four phones are unavailable as so are parts. My guess is a way for them to push the 5. Anyways, I had a Galaxy Z. Fold4 with a quarter inch vertical track on the interscreen that rendered the inner screen. Useless and unresponsive Geek squad Gave me an $1800 store credit card. Which I then bought a new Galaxy S23. Ultra with and I still have 600 dollars on the card to spend on anything I want in the store. When an f, the screen protector starts coming up. Get it repaired immediately because when it comes up. You only have about a month or 2 left before that screen cracks and you have the thickest and slimmest phone on the market. I will not miss the phone falling off. My magnet lock on my dashboard. Last time it happened and almost knocked my car out of gear.

    I've only had my Fold 4 for a week after getting it on a FB Marketplace swap for a laptop I wasn't using. I intended to sell it, but within a day of using it I knew it was going nowhere. Quite simply the best phone I've owned and I've owned mobile devices since 1994. So versatile and the battery life is far better than I was expecting, easily between 6 and 7 hours SOT with 95% of that the inner screen.

    Watching this on my fold 4. The phone has held up surprisingly well I've been using it since December. The one handed usablilty is 10/10 on this device. The swipe down on finger print scanner means i don't need to reach to top... Even then it's shape and size is golden. Being able to open the phone right from 20% open and it acts like a kickstand for the outer screen. Spen inside the device is a must. Rest NO complaints. Fab.

    With Dex, if you hook it up to a monitor it can become like a mac mini ($559), when you open it, it becomes like a ipad mini with 5g ($749), and when closed it's very comparable to an iphone 14 pro 512 gb ($1299). When you add those three apple devices together with all the ram and storage, it comes out to $2600. I'd rather have my all in one device for much cheaper. It only cost me $500 after I traded in my 2 year old Note 20 ultra. I also hooked my fold 4 to a Uperfect lapdock and now I have a pretty good 5g laptop. I love my Fold 4!

      @makoshark40 I worked for At&t when the Fold 4 came out. I got to use it for 2 weeks. Just like your eyes learn to ignore your nose they also ignore the crease. I found that it blends in pretty well when watching videos. Should be even better this year because with the new hinge they are using it will either get rid of the crease or at the very least make it less noticeable.

      I agree 100%, this is a different type of device than a conventional smartphone but most people want their conventional smartphone in addition to the tablet functionality. The fold 4 doesn’t provide that so people see it as a con or pain point when I am trying to explain it is a great combo of small phone/large tablet in a form factor that isn’t all that cumbersome (this thing only weighs a little more than a iPhone 14 Pro Max). The outer display has come a long way since the Fold 1 so I’m quite happy with the outer screen!

I am actually taking it in under warranty work to have the screen replaced tomorrow. Samsung did not give me any crap about it and got the warranty work processed instantly.

    Have had mine roughly 6 months . The only complaints I have are with the camera. Hopefully, when the z fold 6 or 7 are released, we get cameras equivalent to the S series. Amazing phone, but for me, it wasn't worth the switch away from the cameras. Was expected * the durability is 10/10 I've dropped this beast 8+ times by now and not a scratch. Charging twice a day with occasional top ups tho 😂

    As I am watching this on my z fold 4 I have to say its a great phone/tablet I use it daily I send emails edit pictures and videos play games watch movies on it and when I hook it up to a tv or an external monitor the dex features basically turn it into a mini laptop. I have dropped it a couple of times no issues just some minor scratches nothing major even dropped it in watter no problems. I take pictures and videos on it all the time the cameras could be better but I find myself using the 50 mega pixel mode if i need to do something at night the regular mode works fine. But they could definitely be better ive noticed that sometimes it does turn some of my pictures green when its too dark but that has only happened a couple of times. Besides the cameras its an awsome phone I don't think ill be getting the z fold5 unless if the upgrade the cameras to the ones on the s22 ultra atleast.

    I've also been having some really great ideas lately about something that would easily be considered bleeding edge Smart Phone/Tablet/Watch and other devices I didn't specifically mention.
    Phones and tablets are wonderful, no denying that! I've never owned or even used a Smart Watch before though, but I suspect it's barely the beginning of the bleeding edge device technology on the horizon. And if I am even 5% right, it's going to revolutionize technology and .already everything we have now in 2023 appear as primitive in comparison.
    It's such an insane idea I don't even feel comfortable hinting at what it would be simply out of fear that the idea would be seized and Trade Marked by Billion dollar technology industries around the globe because of what it would be, what it would do, how it would do it, and how much it would cost to produce a functional prototype that could make its way to the market immediately following it's success!!
    This very device here (Samsung Galaxy Z Fold) signifies to me that my idea is probably already being considered, even if not being developed yet.

Its not a question of will it happen but, when. Samsung is well aware of their design flaw and will blame you for the damage, charge you $600 to fix.

    I have been using my fold 4 for a very long time now, about 8 months and I gotta say, this thing is extremely good. And I have all the access to play games when I'm out of the house. I also have very tiny fingers so it's super easy to text on the small screen. The fold 4 came with a screen protector so I didn't have to spend money one😅. This thing is worth the cost and I would recommend it.

    They are such good phones, so many things to like. I nearly upgraded to the 5, but then i saw the oneplus open as i do use the camera often, then i realised i would lose Dex, ipx7 and Spen so now im like hmmmm plus the first gen stuff always has bugs. Now i dont use them dex or spen as much as i used too, but i want to do more so i didn't change and now with a brand new zfold4 replaced under warranty as inner screen got damaged twice, im still satisfied with the zfold4. Probably the best stab into foldable phones atm if you havent tried one.

    That case is dope. I really enjoy the fold naked in my preferred colors but that case is so worth it. I do wish there was a case that did both however. You need both an S pen for functionality and a stand to improve on usability of the inner screen. Where did you get the case at btw? There’s no links to your equipment used. Side note, I do wish it had better cameras and battery life. I’d take the phones weight and thickness in the older models if it could have better cameras and most importantly battery life. I mean if you want to enjoy tablet option while playing games to kill time or watching a favorite series or something you need that battery to contend with your traditional tablet. Otherwise why bother if you have to still travel with bot a phone and a tablet. Just my opinion.

I shoot a lot of video for kids sports with it so extremely great that way, whether opened or closed. Games play great. Reading comics/books is great on it. Watching video too! Overall, I'm very happy with it, especially after getting a magsafe ring for it. Attaches fine in the vehicle and I had a ring/stand for it wherever I go.

    I'm also around the 9 month mark.
    As for durability its not too great from my experience. I let it slip once when getting out of car and there is a small crack on the screen. It may have been a one to two foot slip drop and it dropped in a cement driveway and chipped it. At the time i didnt have my case on so it cracked it and due to having said case i can still use it fine but i do have samsung care so I'll be getting it fixed soon. I also get these air bubbles in the inner screen protector its not a huge hassle
    Overall i love this phone. When i watch tv be it for movies or sporting events i usually end up watching it on my phone and needless to say the experience was enhanced with this phone.
    Due to the file explorer feature i am able to basically use this to do a lot of personal tasks. And i use the phone for office meetings and such.
