If you can afford this phone by all means go for it. But if you're like me and damage your phone every 2nd month, you definitely shouldn't get these just yet. They are still extremely cool, but it's still very early.

"Apple did it first" that got me laughing as hell

watched this video on my Fold3. The only reason i felt like getting a folding phone was a good idea was because ive been hyped for folding displays for years, and because i have a history of being really gentle with my phones in the past. if you have a history of dropping phones, cracked glass and whatnot, a folding phone is a terrible idea for you. but being able to carry around a small folding tablet in your pocket is probably the most cyberpunk thing you can do.

As a repair technician, I approve of this video! Thank you for taking the time and showing us how to repair these phones. Personally, I think Samsung made these simply to show how ahead of the curb they are. I don’t see these lasting more than a year or two.

It is so cool that phone has no part that sterilize to another part, you can transfer motherboard from one phone to another, without dealing with face ID, screen, battery, camera and other annoing error messages like in IPHONE

i really like to see you repair more different brands other than apple's stuff

To be honest z flip 3 and z fold 3 are more durable than previous generations of foldables

[blakegriplingph]

Foldables are too cutting edge for what they're worth right now. Unless if display tech evolves to the point that resilient, self-healing OLEDs are a thing, I'd pass on this for now.

Was really really interesting to watch this video, always love when you repair other phones, really love watching when you repair iPhones because as I’m watching those videos I feel like maybe I too could do it but then when I look at my iPhone, I know that I probably should damn well not be the person tinkering with the insides 😬. Another great video from U Phone Repair Guru 💕
Lots of love and support from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada

(PS; I have a couple devices that I need repaired lol an iPad 7th gen, and an iPhone 7) 💕 😃

Foldable phones are cool but they aren't perfected yet, a lot to improve on

I have this same model and it came with a 2 year samsung care +
Last year I splashed by accident a ton of water on it and got soaked, it stopped working properly (screen would do weird things) and they repaired it
That said it didnt cost me 2k
I like the phone but I do know that a lot of people have no idea how to take care of it and they mess with the screen protector the first month, the screen protector gets air in the middle and they proceed to complain that their screen broke within a week because they were treating it with the same not having care as they did with their old flip phones
With care and knowing how to use it I think is a really cool phone to have and the 2 year samsung care + makes up for how expensive it is to get it repaired

I bought one of those open box from best buy for pretty cheap and loved it, ended up trading It in for the newer version for as much as I paid at best buy for it, the newer version is much more durable, the screen is harder so it actually feels like glass and not like a crappy screen protector

Have a Flip3 and did a very light drop. After that, the area where the fold is turned into a black blotch. It has a case and protective films. This phone is VERY fragile and the repair costs are crazy. Asked for a quotes from different places: $400+ - $600. Might as well buy a new phone. The phone is 4 months old.

I love when he says "Wedge Up" LOL

I'll make sure to keep hammers away from my phone. Fun to see the internals, good video!

[boburanus]

Thank you for being on point with your phone repair skills. SO MANY shops fail at basic understanding of tool use. Plastic cards... Invaluable

[mrzeubi]

I had the Z fold 2 and Z fold 3 when they came out, I loved them both, after using my z fold 2 for 1 year, I have zero scratches. So far on the z fold 3 too, only problem is the battery that really doesn't last.. I recommend it if you change your phone every year, with the resale of the old phone + Promo code you generally lose less than 20% of its initial value. Btw nice video <3
