@Montgomerygolfgator Год назад

Mine had to be replaced, but the reason is so weird! Every phone/tablet is designed with adhesive panels, these panels are designed to pop open if the battery expands. On most phones, this panel is the screen. On the Z Flip 3, the panels are actually the outer sides because fhe screen isn't rigid enough. The panel that my cover screen is attached to, just casually fell off! I work with fuel, so im guessing some residue worked its way into the adhesive somehow and caused it to release. Asurion decided to replace the whole phone, even though it was just the $10 of adhesive.

There are small variances during the manufacturing process that will inevitably make some percentage of units fail sooner than average. Happens with any mass produced product. A user wasn't necessarily abusing their phone if it fails permanently. Sometimes you just get a unit that was not 100% perfect when it came off the assembly line.

What brand? Do you have a link? My one has been horrible.

@nathaliac.313 Год назад

Get that screen protector fixed soon, I was going thru my second coming off of the protector and this time around it messed up my screen. It started with the top half being non-responsive, to showing a white line across the crease, to the top going dark, then the bottom going orange, and ultimately turning completely black. I had to change it, so now I have the s23+.

I've been using Flip 1 since i got it in early Mac 2020. Flip 1 is my main phone since thet. No screen creasing or cracking whatsoever. Until recently I can't flip it close because it'll shutdown automatically. What a good 3 years i have with Flip 1.

@freeleymedia Год назад

@@ashlee5153 basically it just starts coming off after a certain amount of time. you can buy a replacement from amazon and it's like changing any other screen protector. apparently though, you're not supposed to do it yourself and just have samsung replace it but it can be hit or miss since it has to follow very specific criteria. I went the amazon route anyway so it's been working so far for me!

@angeliquexo День назад

I had the zflip4 for over a year, I babied that phone, I didn’t even have bubbling as some users have commented. I just opened it one day & there was a black bar in the fold. I didn’t drop it, there were no air bubbles, I wasn’t rough with it, it just decided to give up on me. The entire top half no longer works.

@MetalVII Год назад

Yeah. My Wife’s Z4 has been he same problem. The only problem is that you can damage the screen taking this protector off because the actual screen itself is very soft and the original protector was machined on at the factory. Samsung have replaced the screen protector for us (FOC) but the wife has lost confidence in it and has gone back to iPhone.

That's what I'm betting on. I think from the first Z Flip to the Z Flip 3 is was a great jump since it made it more accessible to the public and therefore more feedback from the general public. Motorola with their Razr+ is impressive and I'm curious how Samsung will respond.

@mkurt90 Год назад

@@freeleymedia that's for sure! Early adopters need to know that with innovation comes unpredictability, it's what you implicitly sign for when you buy the First of a kind (for example the Z fold 1st gen)

@Hhh-j8o 5 месяцев назад

Yup. My fold 3's screen protector peeled up just like that after a year. Then 3 days later I opened it, and the screen peeled off. That was it. Samsung wanted $600 for a screen replacement as it died a couple of weeks out of waranty. I'd love to know how the next few days/weeks went after this video. Probably got a better idea of how "people are breaking their phones" My first smartphone was an iPhone 2. I never as much as cracked a screen of any of my phones until the fold 3 just up and broke itself.

@sonphamthanh2648 Год назад

I recommend that everyone peel off that screen protector once it's bubbled up, I used to hold onto it until dust got in. By the time I peeled it off, the screen was imprinted with small grains of sand, it did not scratch or break the screen, but when the screen is off and looking at it sideways, it can be very uncomfortable.
