Luckily got free 3x film replacement, mine centre crease got bubbles after only 5 months usage, now I don't dare fold it closed. Keep it open like a tablet
*
I keep it opened and seldom fold it... maybe 50 times per year ... and end up the film came out as well. My opinion you should keep fold/unfold once per day. That will make the film flexible rather than hardening.


Then my 2nd film also having problem after 1 yr ...

So I think you cant avoid. just go to center replace it .. I asked the service center they said less than rm50 after used up 3 films.

The problem is they always out of stock for Fold4. That is something we need to worry.

Another my concern is, if Honor has routine software and security update? I feel very safe to use samsung because every month it will have security patch to apply. That's is important if you use phone for business purpose.

I remember I used xiaomi few yrs ago, it only updated 3-4 months or even 6 months once.

Another big concern is after sale service. I can simply reach out to Samsung service center in Malaysia to get genuine repair and parts... Does Honor has this? The phone is not cheap so after sale service is very important to me.

I changed in Pavilion, then was told within 7 days if bubble can go back change again. So went back on the 7th day, changed already, I ask is it need to be extra cautious after applying new screen protector, they say no need. Just use as normal, so I left. Walk to Lowyat shopping, then I unfold my phone, already start to tear off again, on the fold side. Then I saw Service center in Lowyat also, I walk in and ask, then they say actually cannot fold immediately after apply, need to left unfold for few hours. Then I say is ok, help me change a new one, but was told no stock. So now, I have to go find other service center again. Because I try to call Lowyat service center but nobody answer call.

Online Samsung chat support also useless, keep telling me I have to go to service center myself to find out whether got stock or not.

Paid so expensive price, but after sales support speecless.

I bought samsung over other phone is because after sales service. I think they will continue to help you.

If you go to other brand, i think their service lagi teruk.

Service center is disconnected to samsung online chat. No relationship between both.

You just need to go back to SC to ask them fix for you.

I suggest you wait for other SC and see. Dont go back to the one gave you problem.

And then they say if still bubbled, have to send in warranty to replace the entire screen. Need another 7 days and no spare phone for me to use. I cannot accept that my phone totally has no issue, just because of screen protector, need to change the whole screen. @@

So anyone here with fold 5 changed screen protector, do you straightaway fold or wait for few hours before start folding it?
*
Try other SC. I remember I changed for my fold4... I can see some bubble .. i keep press it to make it stick. Then after few hours ... only fold it. And then after a day, the bubble at the edge gone after keep press and hold it gently.

after 1 yr, the SP give problem again. So I think each SP can last long about 12 months.

Use this phone with hinge protector, lost the identity already.

Best is keep it naked and use it carefully.

Samsung should release this 2 months ago. Then the sales will not be so bad. I donno what they trying to do. Personally I will opt for this also with wider front screen.

They're playing it too safe and banking on global availability vs Chinese brands with limited market especially US. Playing safe with designs and innovation and battery..they should move on from that note7 issue man.. come on.. They're samsung I'm sure they can innovate better vs other companies on battery and charging tech. The only reason I stick with this fold is the software, imo the best implementation vs Chinese brands.

That's true. I picked fold6 due to the samsung software / AI ... and security patch every month. I trust samsung after sale service is good in Malaysia. And this time the design fold6 is really premium compared to other brands. Other than these, a bit hard for it to compete others...

I like Magic V3 got wider front screen. but inner screen is totally square, which i dont like. So nothing perfect.

From news seem they selling good on both countries.

The Fold6 owners like get betrayed by Samsung because spent so much money to buy ... after 2-3 months... something better came out.

The banner followed your phone warranty period. Once warranty period over the banner will also be gone for My Voucher.

Have you tried asking Samsung SC? Hopefully out of courtesy, they may still accept your unit to change SP for free. Please update and share with us. All the best. 🙏🏼

I already wrote to them already. they asked me to 'eat myself'.

Here is the reply:-
I regret to inform you that we are unable to accede to the free screen protector replacement at this time since the initial claim was not completed as per the guidelines and within the stipulated duration. We value your feedback, and I will ensure that your experience is noted for future improvements in communication regarding the redemption procedures.

I just peeled off my Fold 5 SP, SC told me to wait 2 weeks for the order to arrive, this is my 2nd time claiming the free 3x SP replacement from Samsung, really dissatisfied & disappointed with the quality of the SP, feels like cheap RM 5 SP from Shopee only, nothing special at at despite being a 6000 Fon

Make sure you change to other service center better. Because i replaced once and the SP can last long for 12 months before get the bubble again. I believe the SC you visited before not so expert.

At least you get it free. I didnt click on that banner ... got to pay rm80 if want to replace.

hmm.. so in a way, they are still giving us the free screen protector replacement, but charging us RM80 for labor fees? wise move then.. lol

No no ... if you have 3x SP replacement voucher, means you can claim it 3 times free within warranty period. If you dont have, you need to pay rm80 for SP replacement including labor fee.

Which one, gurney or egate ? I went to gurney cos nearer to me, Sunday roadside parking free. Going to try again changing for 2nd time, if bubbles at the crease again, I'm going to sell it or trade in. If the crease got bubbles the trade in value very affected & very low nia, must make sure the screen is perfect the edges of the Fon is scratch less, no dents whatsoever. Really hassle the process of trade in Fon. That's why I'm still using my 2 year old Oppo Find X6 Pro cos dulan with the low Trade in price those Fon shops offer me. For the price of a RM 5000 Fon I can eat 1000 plates of Hokkien Char already. Really wasteful to keep changing & chasing Fons. Enough random rants today. Bye

I understand your feeling. I also sipek dulan after they told me if I didnt click the voucher under member app, i got to pay for SP replacement. I told them like trick your customer.

The service center I went last time is at mainland Gravitas Business park. They replaced the SP for fold4 and last long for 1 yr before bubble appeared from the center crease again.

Then I trade in my fold4 to senheng, they even dont look at the bubble... check the frame and outer screen, and didnt run diagnostic test also, then take directly. Not like other compasia or UR ... check until eye came out. blush.gif

I think Apple and Samsung phone still got trade in value... i am not sure other phone like oppo or xiaomi got trade in option or not. But I do agree that we keep replace the phone every year is very tiring sometimes ... need to find buyer from mudah, trade in price low ... I think we just want to save more money ... But I also notice some people just trade in like kacang ... rm1000 / rm2000 trade in price also accept. flex.gif
