Flip 4 screen bleeding and protector coming off

[Members_Ci8haBU]

I've had a Samsung flip 4 for 2 months now, bought it new from Telekom Hungary.

For the past month when I opened the phone, I heard some noises but didn't mind since I didn't see anything physically.
Last night when I wanted to open my phone, I saw a black line on the hinge and I was terrified. The bleeding spread a lot more and the protector is coming off by literally above the hinge and now on the hinge.

I started reading about how this is a common issue for these phones and yet Samsung fails to repair most of them due to them claiming that it's damaged by a user.

I'm worried that such an expensive phone with a valid warranty is going to the wasted..There's no way I would pay more than 100$ to get a 1000$ phone fixed for something Samsung did. What can I do??

Exactly the same here.

Been using Note phones for many years, thought I'd try the Flip. Desktop drop onto carpet (in a case) broke the hinge, then the protector started to come loose and the pixels wouldnt work correctly. Finally the whole screen stopped working. Worse spent £600 EVER.

I bought a Sony to rep

The screen protectors don't last on the flip phones. 6 months if you're lucky. Supposedly, a replacement screen protector will be provided during warranty but Samsung refused to replacement mine because of the tiniest cosmetic mark on the back of the phone. It's a con, avoid.
