Phone won’t open all the way after a few months

I absolutely LOVE the concept of this phone. I had the Z Fold 2 and had no problems at all so I decided to upgrade to the Z Fold 4. After a few months my phone will not open all the way. I am very disappointed in this.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We appreciate your directness as we improve the design and functionality of our product line while we stay committed to constant innovation. Our goal is for our customers to feel like they are having the most ideal experiences when using our products. Samsung provides a 12-month warranty for manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship on our products, linked below. Did you know that we also offer Samsung Care+ that can be added to eligible devices? It offers you the ultimate peace of mind when it comes to protecting your investment. Samsung Care+ comes in handy for those unanticipated situations in life like leaving your device behind on the train during your morning commute, having it stolen from your briefcase, taking an impromptu dip in the pool with your phone still in your pocket, or dropping it and shattering the screen. We even have over 700 authorized repair locations nationwide to take your device to be repaired quickly which ultimately helps you get back to what you love doing the most in life. For your convenience I have included a link to an article titled, "Care for your Samsung foldable phone" that contains a wealth of knowledge in regard to caring for your phones. With just a little care and maintenance, you can make sure your Galaxy foldable phone always performs at its best. Your foldable phone is extra special, but that also means it needs some extra care. The easiest way to keep it looking new is to regularly clean it. Cleaning your foldable phone is simple and not that different from cleaning any other Galaxy phone. However, you will want to be careful about cleaning the phone's hinge. If it becomes dusty or dirty, make sure you clean it gently with a soft, dry cloth to avoid damaging your phone. Your Galaxy foldable phone comes with a specially designed screen protector preinstalled on the main screen. Samsung has designed this screen protector to withstand folding and unfolding, while providing protection from scratches and debris. DO NOT remove the protective top layer from the main screen, or attach any adhesive accessories, such as protectors or stickers. Please feel free to contact Samsung Support if you have any questions for us, if you would like to share any additional feedback with us, or if you would like help troubleshooting your devices. Thank you for being a faithful Samsung customer. - Debra
I purchased this phone on launch. It worked fine for initial 6 months or so but then started powering off randomly ( once in a while ). It got worse and worse and after every power-off I have to let it cool for 10-15 min to be able to start again. I liked the screen-size and how it folds but it looks like Samsung is still not there yet and selling defected products to customers. If you need to get it repaired then you need to send it to mail in service for 2 weeks or so. I would have never bought this if I knew this before.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I switched from the flip to the fold and I’m sold!

I originally purchased the Z flip 4, loved it, but my daughter loved it more. It was more younger adult appropriate, so I gave it to her, and bought this Z from fold 4. Much more functional I’ve been able to do so much more with this phone, and my work issued iPhone 14 plus pales in comparison with regards to functionality. The only gripe that I have is the battery life. This phone dies quickly. It’s my personal phone, and is used secondary, and doesn’t last very long. Other than that no issues.

Best experience
on May 14, 2023

from Highlands Ranch, Co
Had this for about 3 weeks, and I'm more impressed on what it's able and highly surprised, crease is a thing but barely noticed, especially if u have it open ever so often to give it some breathing room, but especially love playing any game with this. Makes people drop jaws, as few have ever see them. Truly unique experience and possibly has much more potential that the may have struck gold on! But definitely worth much money, as long as it's futures are things u do day to day.

Smoking Hot!!!

I wanted to love this phone. I purchased it about 4 months ago. I wanted something smaller than my note 10+. I regret the day I traded my note in for this cute little phone. The screen goes black as soon as I open it. Also, the screen freezes, then the screen vibrates. The screen is unresponsive. Won't let me look at anything, nor will it allow me to text. This phone has never been dropped. Then, magically, it will work for a few minutes before doing all of the above. This phone gets smoking hot!!! Like the very 1st Android I had 20 something years ago. Is Samsung regressing?

I'll start by saying, 8m giving this two stars as it does have some good features. Overall, I would NEVER recommend this phone to someone I hate! I have owned it for two months and have just gotten my third one (and am going to have to go back to the store for a fourth). This has to be the worste phone I've ever had in my life. Being in my 40's I've had quite the assortment of phones in that time. That should give you an idea of just how bad this phone is. The camera says it's "professional grade"... a disposable camera take better pictures than this thing (and its supposed to be 8K). All three of the phones I've had, have been prone to turning themselves off. They do not always connect to your service (ive also had the sim card replaced a couple times to eliminate that as the issue.
I am beyond embarrassed by this phone and if I could get out of it, I would do it in the blink of an eye.
In short, DO NOT GET THIS PHONE!!!
