Honestly, for my first foldable phone, I went into this purchase with the idea it was going to be a phone I need to wrap in a thick case, get the samsung care plan for repairs, and baby every time I use it. I did just that after receiving it and hated the bulk.
After removing said bulky case, I realized the case itself was scratching my front screen! It was extremely micro marring so a screen shield fixed any noticeable issues. I also bought a skin to put on the back for scratch protection. The added ease of mind from the protection plan makes me use the phone as I need it, instead of asking, " do I want to open the phone to use the big screen?"
For reference, I unfold this bad boy at least 4-5 times a day. No issues and I just make sure there is nothing large on the screen before closing. The outer screen is narrower than a normal phone, but I don't mind it at all.
Crease is noticeable only when the inner screen is off and the lighting is hitting it just right. Once you are playing something, you forget it is there and enjoy the extra screen real estate.
Would I recommend? 100%, if you can afford it or get a good deal. I got a great offer that knocked over 60% of the cost off. I will never go back to a regular phone after this. Also, don't do a case! I'm loving this phone as is with a screen shield and a skin on the back.
This is my first Z Fold phone coming from an S23 Ultra. The fold takes sometimes to get used to,but it's worth buying. Don't second guess yourself get it just do an trade in. Just wish it had the cameras from the 23/24 ultra
Worst battery,everything else is good. I wish I could get the new s25 ultra trading in, because Im samsung fan
