Samsung ZFLIP3 - 2 Year Review

Obsydian · ‎28-11-2023

Given the drama I had with my ZFold3 and numerous forum and web content as to the delicate (not robust) nature of the foldables, I thought an update on a longer ownership experience, as I traded in my ZFold3 after Samsung TMT found no fault in the mechanism before my tradein, but did when I traded it in.

Anyway back to the ZFLIP3 used by my wife, so not the most careful users, but plenty of use and 2 years on it is still going strong, only issue been the screen protector, promptly replaced with a Whitestone protector.

The ZFLIP3 even outlasted its Samsung ring case then started to fall apart, replaced with a beauty Aramid cover.

Device is now relegated to a spare.

I would love to know how many folds it has performed?

Anyway well done Samsung, just hope my ZFold4 and ZFLIP5 are as good as the ZFLIP3.

A couple of my colleagues has the Flip³ and they are still going strong @Obsydian

One has had the factory fitted screen protector delaminated too.

I owned the Fold³ and had no issues with it and I do not baby my phone's. I too had the aramid cover on it.

The screen protector delaminated too so I used it without one.

My colleagues Fold³ screen protector delaminated too.
