Hi guys.

Used z fold (1st gen) for 4500.
1 month old. With all the crack screen insurance

Worth it? Full box only not giving earphones due to hygiene.

Also, seller mentioned z fold no Telco set? I swear I saw maxis offering it last time..

Something is wrong.
Should i claim warranty?

Is the phone hot? Mine stopped charging at 80% cuz the phone was hot.

Restart. Remove from charger.et it cool down and then charge again. My z fold 2 also stopped at 80% cuz heated up.

Using Samsung wireless charger.

I am still dilemma to pull trigger to get this phone or not. Currently using s21u and hope to get this one because has bigger screen but worry need to open and close often.

1) wondering can i leave the phone open all the time... and will screen sleep? Plan to use it as tablet ... then only close it when want to go out.

2) Can this phone use to play swipe game in big screen? Those having Fold2 may share your experience. I like to play slice game such as Badminton and Tennis Clash often.

3) If you have replaced the normal compact phone with fold3, appreciate share your experience...

Share with u my exp with fold 2.

1. Yes u can. It will sleep like normal screen.
2. Also can, but your thumbs won't be able to reach the middle screen if you are holding it. Unless u place it on a table. Its big/wide.
3. I couldn't. I struggled with fold 2. Even stay home everyday, taking it along with me was a hassle. When I use it in toilet, when wanna lap buntut, struggle to find a safe place to put the phone down. When go out tapau food, abit shy to unfold. Heavy as fck.

But when you consume media, like gaming, movies etc. then you appreciate the big screen.

I switched back to normal phone after 2 weeks but thats just me. I like small phones. I always buy the smallest. S10. S21. Note 10. S9. S8. 12mini.

Thanks for your sharing... This is helpful. I can understand your pain ... especially have to open and close for many times....

Don't get me wrong. It's simply a fantastic device. U will unfold it for no reason. Its just so smooth and nice to unfold/fold. But for me , not very practical. Especially if u are field based. Imagine lying it flat on the table while eating, expose to it being robbed.

And I always have this thought. If I drop = die. With that in mind, I try not to fiddle with it unless absolute necessary when I am outside. Heck, the mere fact of removing it from your pocket poses a risk of dropping it cuz it's bigger/thicker than the usual phone.

I had many almost dropping experience (taking out from pocket) with a z flip too. Cuz of the thickness

This is what I feel with my testing unit Z Fold3.. from day 1 until now.

For Z Flip3, I have no problem to unflip it while walking. The feeling of insecurity like with Z fold3 isn't there. But I agree with your point. honestly when it’s in my pocket, i dont feel Z Flip3 is like a compact phone at all. It’s thick and wide. As a comparison, I feel way comfortable with 12 pro max in my pocket than a flip3.

Spot on.

And I can't get used to taking it out. Always terbalik and I fumble looking for the right position to unflip/open it doh.gif

But again, both device are great. Real fun to use. Try it for yourself. Don't take my word for it. It's just me. Prefer the conventional brick phone design laugh.gif for now...

was aiming for this case as it has protection for the hinge, but the double sided tape to keep the case attached to the phone is kinda weird
*
Trust me when I say this... the protection for the hinge, is an additional mechanism, which is a bother when trying to lay the phone flat on a table and it adds to the weight and bulk.

Experienced on z fold 2.

The hinge is exposed...can we use some sort of screen protect on it?

Sked ltr fold the protector will kacau the moving parts

When folded, it's exposed. When unfold it's protected.

But some casing has addition protection for the hinge. Super bulky. U can Google spigen slim armor fold 2.

True, this one hides into the case when unfolded so it's not as bad but read the reviews in amazon seems bad. Looking at other cases, seems most uses double sided tape to stick to the phone?
*
Yup even the 300+ MYR spigen also uses double sided tape..

It's the design of the phone. It can't fit 100% firmly. And if u get cheaper casing without those tapes, the case moves and it squeaks.

Here is the picture of the "cracked" screen.
If it doesn't look cracked that's just because ur eye can't see, but Samsung can see.  dry.gif
My eye cannot see also, always use case and never dropped it yet.

It is Galaxy Z Flip 3. Any claim under Care+ is subject to 670RM fee.
It's repaired under warranty in US and Europe, but Malaysian must pay.

EDIT: I submitted to Care+ anyway describing it as not-own issue.
Hopefully when they see the photo their heart soften. blush.gif

EDIT2: Got a call back from Care+ pretty much immediately.
They verified that I haven't dropped the phone and asked me to walk into Service Center again and ask them that I want to file report to Samsung. hmm.gif

EDIT3: So here's the deal. I actually really love Samsung. I like the brand, I like their accessories, I like Samsung Pay, the phone is a marvel of engineering.
I just don't feel at ease with all of the responsibility of adopting new technology being pushed to customer.
We already paid the premium and gave Samsung our trust and we should get premium service for being one of the first.
I am afraid I might end up spending 600 or 1200 every three months. bye.gif
I hope this can be resolved because I really like the phone

Wow. I feel sorry for you. I suggest you write long email to GM of malausia or asia or whatever.

I had similar issue with my 12 mini. I sent for warranty claim and they blamed me for it. Not only did they want to charge me for replacements, they also took my phone away for over 2 weeks.

I sent email to apple Singapore GM. I created a fuss. Cc every email address I could find and literally fucked them. I got a call the next day, and they asked me to send my phone in and they will honor it.

I declined and I fuck them in another long email threatening consumer tribunal.

In MY, consumers often taken for granted.
