This is the only surgery my stomach can handle, but it is still pretty painful to watch! The Fold 4 hinge doesn't quite snap open as nice as the Fold 3, but it is still pretty smooth.
Yep, and I find it doesn't have much of an "end point" feeling, you almost want to flex it backwards a little bit to see if it's actually all the way open.
@@ferrari5347 yes sir, those are my exact feelings when using mine. Seems like a less stronger hinge design, and like you have to completly open the phone in order to get it flush, and the Fold 3 in the last degrees of opening the hinge did the last part. Anyways, only time will tell! BTW, if you open it with a little more energy, you will find that the hinge works kinda the Fold's 3 one. Regards!
Strange isbt it i cant even mention certain things around some people eating i personally can watch anything nothing puts me off food which is quite ironic being slim. One of those annoying people who can eat whst they like, mind you i cycle around 200miles weekly wjich explains a lot.
@Joaco Soler my f4 hinge isn't 100% smooth and towards the few last few degrees of opening, it gets loose and will open on its own from the weight of the half (also have the S pen case). So it kind of opens itself towards the very end. Not loose enough to close itself unles I try to flick the phone shut, it would then move from flat open orientation to partially closed before stopping. My buddy has the F4 and his hinge us tight and evenly smooth all the way. After seeing the break down, I don't understand why some F4s will have a looser or tighter hinge. Maybe amount of lubricant on certain spots of the metal sliding design? I'm sure most phones will get looser with some use. Despite my screen not holding itself up towards the last 25 degrees or so, it doesn't really affect everyday need or performance. I would never have my screen folded in that orientation for viewing and depending on which side is on the table, it will tip back anyways due to balance being off center.
Seeing phones from the outside and from the inside is totally a different experience. You'll appreciate the technology more when it's striped naked, especially something futuristic like a foldable. 👏
As an owner of both the ZF3 and ZF4, you can definitely tell there's an engineering difference in how the device opens and closes. The ZF3 does feel smoother, in a way, and the ZF4 feels more solid. Both are marvels.

@tea__low I really hope you did this while the phone was off. Put isopropyl alcohol on the phone. If you did it while it was on then yes it would short something, but if you did it while it's off that's absolutely impossible. Depending on the type of isopropyl alcohol you used.

I have the zfold 2, used it for two years without any screen issues. I loved the versatility of the zfold so I've recently upgraded to the zfold 4. I can tell it's a bit thinner and lighter. From day one I used the Spigen slim case that protects the spine of the phone. My job requires me to carry a phone 24/7, so I use it ALOT, yes I've dropped it often (generally waste hight). I don't what I'd do without so much screen space. Thanks for your videos...love the Hummer, Cheers!
I got my fold 4 three weeks ago. I almost made the mistake of getting the iPhone 14. I've been an iPhone user and advocate for a long time but after getting this z fold 4 its simply the coolest and best phone I ever had and I'll never buy an iPhone again
Thank you for the video!!! I love my Fold 4 so far. It's narrow front screen does require a bit of getting used to, but it is very usable. When I want to watch a video, draw, read, or have a mini tablet for productivity I just unfold the device and bam. I came from the Note 20 Ultra and I'm not missing it yet! The SPen Fold helped me accept the Fold 4. I'd love to see an integrated s pen and the narrow front screen have compatibility for the spen too.
I had charging port issues with the note 20 ultra, not a big fan of how Samsung was nudging me to trade in and pay the rest for a new fold 4, just replaced it myself and now it works perfectly.
@@8tonystark8 thankfully I'm not much of a photographer so it doesn't bother me. My note got irritating. I couldn't use it one handed where as the fold gives me options. Better multi tasking and a better display are what I wanted.
Purchased this phone and could not be happier. Watching this video definitely proves why it costs so much. The sheer amount of engineering is mind blowing.
Samsung appreciation comment! Samsung has not only brought a CONCEPT piece of tech into a commercial product (with some hiccups), but made it SO good, that Jerryrigeverything mentioned it may just be ONE OF THE MOST technologically advanced so far! Respect to the z fold team putting these phones together, those are some great minds they have there!
@@ryanrenolds yeah, durability flip 4 were out for at least a week already, zach usually do durability first followed by teardown, if he do it the other way first, he will need 2 devices
I've had my Z Fold 4, for a little over one month now. so far, it is the best phone i've ever had! It's the most fun to use. I came from a Galaxy Note 10 Plus, and I couldn't image going back now.
"I will definitely not be counting all the balls." Well, as we know sometimes promises are like glass, and glass breaks. So I will be looking forward to the video where Jerry looks at balls
This is my phone. Incredible! Now, if they could only restore the headphone jack and piggyback the SIM with the micro-SD card from my old phone, I would have been able to skip the cloud altogether. BTW, my old LG V20, still in use for my theater remote, backup storage and second screen on Wi-fi, has a battery door that springs open when you push the button, making changing it a breeze. And NO GLUE on the inside. Just push-pull connectors and screws.
It's painful to see you using a razorblade for everything. I know that it's brand recognition stuff, but you could always use a guitar pick once lifting up the folding screen and use a very thin metal tool like the QianLi UltraThin lineup of tools when first lifting up the glass screen (and hopefully a guitar pick once it's up, but your razorblade is probably fine).
Finally let my Note 10+ go for a Fold 4 and wow this phone is awesome! Hate to see the Note line go but glad Samsung has refined the Fold series. So excited to see what else Samsung has for us in the future of the Folds.
I came from a note 10+ 5g my heart aches that my z fold4 only lasted so little bought the z fold4 on September 4th, on the 24th of December my screen had a random black crease down the middle... no drops at all no stress on the phone, it lives on a desk basically. I'm going this Monday to a "ibreakufix" store recommended by Samsung..I hope they warranty my phone, I'm making payments and if they don't replace it I'm asked out... 1 will never purchase a fold 4. As soon as they replace it. I'm selling it
He could probably do a survivable peel but it'd require a lot of gentle prying and maybe isopropyl to relax the adhesive and be boringly slow. The fragility of the OLED really makes you appreciate it's covered by glass on your non-folding smartphones.
I've had my Fold3 since last September. So far I've had no issues and I'm pleased to see this lineup continue. That said it would be nice to have some healthy competition in the North American market for folding phones. Samsung has it too easy right now.
@@trstnhn No, I don't think I've seen much from their recent lineup. Their chips are fast, software is quite optimized, but all in all nothing new except for the dynamic island thing this year (only on Pro and Pro Max models). I don't find that concept appealing tho
Im daily driving the fold 3 since launch and find myself using the bigger screen for more than expected. they are amazing devices looking forward to see were they can go with the folding screens in the future the only problem ive come across is the last few week the screen protector on the inner screen has started lifting from general use other than that still going strong
@@sonyboybluespower i wouldn't do that since adding a screen protect on top will amplify the stresses caused by the bending of the screen and may causes damage. unlike previous folds removing the built in screen protector wont destroy your device so its better to just simply replace the original screen protector if it gets damaged instead of stacking screen protectors
The engineers are simply superb. If they can design a screen that can't be black-out in matter of seconds. It shows they secretly own the technology that can removed those delicate screen. Big up Samsung
The great Ash! 🤣🤣 what a legend! I'm still using my Z Fold 2 and I love it, I'm not sure if I'd upgrade to a newer fold when it comes time, I love the concept but sometimes the larger display of a typical smart phone (compared to the outer display of the Fold) would be better when I'm out and about and don't want to be unfolding. Great video, love your content.
I went from a S22 Ultra to the Fold 4 and don't think I'll ever go back to a traditional phone. Was waiting for a better camera to make the switch, and improved case for the S-pen from Samsung. Thanks for the break down!
I'm always amazed when I think about how a company has created this phone from scratch. Developed every little detail and basically made it from Soil (ore, metals...)
I finally took the plunge this year and got a fold4 to replace my note10+. I'm still not sure it was the right move. So far its been fine, but I don't find myself doing anything new on the fold that I wasn't doing on my old phone. I did keep my old phone instead of trading in tho since I'm not sure about the longevity of the folding screen and I'd rather have a reliable backup.
LOL I also did the exact same thing, like upgraded to Fold 4 from my Note 10+ and still keep the old phone for a backup. And I still dont find myself do stuffs on my new one that I havent done on my Note
Expect the Fold3 to outlast a year with safe/gentle, & normal usage, but 2-3yr is a stretch. If you use heavily or abuse phone, expect it to last 8months. That's what happened to me. So no matter what they say, treat the phone well, for it to last. Samsung just reneged on my "broken screen" trade in, so now I have to pay 700 more and wait for it to return to me, before I can get it repaired, to then sell on my own. What a sham scam Samsung is not accepting broken screen when the site made me go thru a the efforts.
I am never going to buy a folding phone becauseI am too clumsy to have such a fragile phone LOL LOL. But it is very interesting to see how far technology have come
It's amazing watching you tear down something I will be guarding with my life for the next 2 years until I pay it of and then at least another year after, lol. Thanks for making these. Love the videos!
Hey Jerry, why do you think Samsung keep releasing phones with such poor charging compared to their competitors, there is negligible improvement on all fronts, plugged-in, wireless and reverse charge. Other phones on the market are offering significantly higher charging rates, 65W, 100W, even 150W. I appreciate that with these speeds come heat and reduced battery life overall but Samsung just doesn't seem to be competing in this space. In the UK, I'm with the O2 network and their options each year usually result in Samsung or iPhone being the only true options for a flagship, seems disappointing with the price point of these devices that we aren't getting more innovation from Samsung in this area. Love the videos by the way, keep them coming!
I´ve had one for about 18 months. After 6 months i could hear the hinge crackling (probably because of dust building up inside the hinge, dunno) and it finally started to really glitch a few days ago, as it wouldn´t fully open - stopping at around 85% to 90%. I tried to clean it from the outside and it opens perfectly! But the inner display is not working anymore xD Welp, i´ll wait until this futuristic tech gets more... real world usable (and abusable) before getting another foldable. I think I rather have a S23ultra and a full size tablet instead of a foldable for now.
I bought the z fold 4 after your teardown and durability test. I was in the market for a tablet for invoices and estimates in my mobile repair business. I have had it for 2 weeks so far. The android os itself is good from my perspective and use. Some apps are not optimized 100% like when switching from fold to tablet sometimes the aspect ratio is off or the screen orientation stays locked innth3 wrong direction but I think that has to do.with the app not the phone itself. My only gripe so far is the simplistic phone cases that are available for these. I found one that I like that also.hold my s pen and covers the hinge but I miss the true otterbox defender I had on my galaxy phones. Thanks for the video.
Classic example of 1 step forward 2 steps back... Innovative design, but hard to recycle and near impossible to repair. If Samsung aren't careful they are in for a bad time. No matter how much money they throw at it.
To repair center screen I believe it comes with new frame & hinge, so they gotta pry them batteries out! Of the old one! Unless they just use new batteries as well...

I got my fold 4 three weeks ago. I almost made the mistake of getting the iPhone 14. I've been an iPhone user and advocate for a long time but after getting this z fold 4 its simply the coolest and best phone I ever had and I'll never buy an iPhone again
Got the fold 3 and LOVE IT! Genuinely the best phone I've ever had tbh..
I've had the Z-fold 3 for about a year with no issues. My wife got the Z-Flip 3 about the same time and has had no issues as well.
Thank you for the video!!! I love my Fold 4 so far. It's narrow front screen does require a bit of getting used to, but it is very usable. When I want to watch a video, draw, read, or have a mini tablet for productivity I just unfold the device and bam. I came from the Note 20 Ultra and I'm not missing it yet! The SPen Fold helped me accept the Fold 4. I'd love to see an integrated s pen and the narrow front screen have compatibility for the spen too.
I noticed weird black threads coming out of fold 4 hinge area, after which it stopped unfolding, could be those brushy bristles at 10:29
3:52 "we know it's made from glass"
*Yes, we do. Even those who didn't already, now do*
*Iphone:* We are revolutionising the mobile market
*Samsung:* Hold my screws
Currently watching this on my Zfold 4. Traded my note 20 ultra in on it. Really is a fantastic device.
Not being able to shoot 4k@60fps with the ultrawide camera is just embarrassing!!!!!!
@Noah Piercy I do. Been waiting for that feature for two years - still nothing It's a basic feature which my 2000$ phone can't do.
I had charging port issues with the note 20 ultra, not a big fan of how Samsung was nudging me to trade in and pay the rest for a new fold 4, just replaced it myself and now it works perfectly.
@@8tonystark8 thankfully I'm not much of a photographer so it doesn't bother me. My note got irritating. I couldn't use it one handed where as the fold gives me options. Better multi tasking and a better display are what I wanted.
Purchased this phone and could not be happier. Watching this video definitely proves why it costs so much. The sheer amount of engineering is mind blowing.
Samsung appreciation comment! Samsung has not only brought a CONCEPT piece of tech into a commercial product (with some hiccups), but made it SO good, that Jerryrigeverything mentioned it may just be ONE OF THE MOST technologically advanced so far! Respect to the z fold team putting these phones together, those are some great minds they have there!
Cosmo and Wanda knifes, nice!!
Samsung, true innovation ❤️
Unlike Assle
I use a z fold 4 and have done for about a year now and the only thong i can pick with this phone is the hinge slitly weaker holding force
I knew it would be the Fold 4 teardown, waiting for the Flip 4 durability test 😀
Ayyyyy me to
Just Watch the Flip 3 videos
Bro the durability test has been out for awhile
@@teamsantis8965 No?
@@ryanrenolds yeah, durability flip 4 were out for at least a week already, zach usually do durability first followed by teardown, if he do it the other way first, he will need 2 devices
I've had my Z Fold 4, for a little over one month now. so far, it is the best phone i've ever had! It's the most fun to use. I came from a Galaxy Note 10 Plus, and I couldn't image going back now.
"I will definitely not be counting all the balls." Well, as we know sometimes promises are like glass, and glass breaks. So I will be looking forward to the video where Jerry looks at balls
didnt he say he would count all the balls in another video.... i havent seen where he has done that.
This is my phone. Incredible! Now, if they could only restore the headphone jack and piggyback the SIM with the micro-SD card from my old phone, I would have been able to skip the cloud altogether. BTW, my old LG V20, still in use for my theater remote, backup storage and second screen on Wi-fi, has a battery door that springs open when you push the button, making changing it a breeze. And NO GLUE on the inside. Just push-pull connectors and screws.
It's painful to see you using a razorblade for everything. I know that it's brand recognition stuff, but you could always use a guitar pick once lifting up the folding screen and use a very thin metal tool like the QianLi UltraThin lineup of tools when first lifting up the glass screen (and hopefully a guitar pick once it's up, but your razorblade is probably fine).
Finally let my Note 10+ go for a Fold 4 and wow this phone is awesome! Hate to see the Note line go but glad Samsung has refined the Fold series. So excited to see what else Samsung has for us in the future of the Folds.
The note series is still around. It's just the S series ultra now. Different name, same phone.
I came from a note 10+ 5g my heart aches that my z fold4 only lasted so little
bought the z fold4 on September
4th, on the 24th of December my
screen had a random black crease
down the middle... no drops at all
no stress on the phone, it lives on
a desk basically.
I'm going this Monday to a
"ibreakufix" store recommended
by Samsung..I hope they
warranty my phone, I'm making
payments and if they don't replace
it I'm asked out... 1 will never
purchase a fold 4. As soon as they
replace it. I'm selling it
Can we appreciate how he gives all his time to show us the phones components wish you luck
-ur fan ashraf
@the demons yep I learned a lot from him what a great master
08:17 haha Samsung is swearing back at you Zack for the battery rant
Man, I was really hoping the screen would survive this time. The first peel seemed promising...
...and then that peel killed the display
He could probably do a survivable peel but it'd require a lot of gentle prying and maybe isopropyl to relax the adhesive and be boringly slow. The fragility of the OLED really makes you appreciate it's covered by glass on your non-folding smartphones.
If he just used a plastic pick instead of the knife he wouldnt break half as many phones
I've had my Fold3 since last September. So far I've had no issues and I'm pleased to see this lineup continue. That said it would be nice to have some healthy competition in the North American market for folding phones. Samsung has it too easy right now.
And stilll they add something
Just you wait, apple is coming to take samsung's lunch. Did you see the amount of innovation the new iphones are packing? Samsung stands no chance.
@@trstnhn No, I don't think I've seen much from their recent lineup. Their chips are fast, software is quite optimized, but all in all nothing new except for the dynamic island thing this year (only on Pro and Pro Max models). I don't find that concept appealing tho
The knife collection is elite 😂
Zack just dropped the Cosmo and Wanda knives.
Im daily driving the fold 3 since launch and find myself using the bigger screen for more than expected. they are amazing devices looking forward to see were they can go with the folding screens in the future the only problem ive come across is the last few week the screen protector on the inner screen has started lifting from general use other than that still going strong
U didnt add a protector to ur inner screen? I have one one and makes the phone stay like new
@@sonyboybluespower I thought the phone comes with a preapplied one? Did you slap a screen protector over the one already preapplied?
@@barronhelmutschnitzelnazi2188 correct! The pre applied one is technically the screen itself so you want to protect that too
@@sonyboybluespower i wouldn't do that since adding a screen protect on top will amplify the stresses caused by the bending of the screen and may causes damage. unlike previous folds removing the built in screen protector wont destroy your device so its better to just simply replace the original screen protector if it gets damaged instead of stacking screen protectors
@@ipodtouchiscoollol nah man i dont know where u came up with this but ive been using for 10 months and has kept my fold screen like new.
My 2 yr old Fold 3 is still unfolding flat but my 7 mo old Fold 4 now only unfolds up to 170 degrees max, and it's annoying as hell 😟
The engineers are simply superb. If they can design a screen that can't be black-out in matter of seconds. It shows they secretly own the technology that can removed those delicate screen. Big up Samsung
I have a Fold4 and never going back to anything else. Foldables are the future and multitasking with them is awesome.
The great Ash! 🤣🤣 what a legend! I'm still using my Z Fold 2 and I love it, I'm not sure if I'd upgrade to a newer fold when it comes time, I love the concept but sometimes the larger display of a typical smart phone (compared to the outer display of the Fold) would be better when I'm out and about and don't want to be unfolding. Great video, love your content.
I went from a S22 Ultra to the Fold 4 and don't think I'll ever go back to a traditional phone. Was waiting for a better camera to make the switch, and improved case for the S-pen from Samsung. Thanks for the break down!
Could you do the xiaomi fold 2 or that one from huawei? would be interesting to see a side by side comparrison with the fold 4
Currently watching this on my fold 3/4 after replacing my 3 year old note 10+ last week. Highly recommended upgrade.
I'm always amazed when I think about how a company has created this phone from scratch. Developed every little detail and basically made it from Soil (ore, metals...)
Making phone like these are insane dude engineer rocks
Jerry aint counting deez nuts.
Heck yea
“Hey Zack, do you have the Z Fold 4?”
“Yea hold on lemme get my dirt bucket”
Yep mine broke like this
I finally took the plunge this year and got a fold4 to replace my note10+. I'm still not sure it was the right move. So far its been fine, but I don't find myself doing anything new on the fold that I wasn't doing on my old phone. I did keep my old phone instead of trading in tho since I'm not sure about the longevity of the folding screen and I'd rather have a reliable backup.
I did the exact same thing and I'm enjoying the foldable experience so far
LOL I also did the exact same thing, like upgraded to Fold 4 from my Note 10+ and still keep the old phone for a backup. And I still dont find myself do stuffs on my new one that I havent done on my Note
Expect the Fold3 to outlast a year with safe/gentle, & normal usage, but 2-3yr is a stretch.
If you use heavily or abuse phone, expect it to last 8months. That's what happened to me. So no matter what they say, treat the phone well, for it to last.
Samsung just reneged on my "broken screen" trade in, so now I have to pay 700 more and wait for it to return to me, before I can get it repaired, to then sell on my own. What a sham scam Samsung is not accepting broken screen when the site made me go thru a the efforts.
Dude if u still had a note 10 this fold 4 won’t last as long I would think.plastic screen and metal on metal. Good luck tho they do look cool 😅
Same, i still keep my note 9 while doing so much more with my fold 4!
Props to the engineers, I’d never come up with such things | Jst scrumptious !
I am never going to buy a folding phone becauseI am too clumsy to have such a fragile phone LOL LOL. But it is very interesting to see how far technology have come
Haha same here, I would always drop my phone and will definitely stab the screen with my fingers trying to catch it.
Still waiting on the JerryRig everything Rivian R1T crush test on these phones, but awesome as always :)
I am from the future and the brushes adhesive on this phone will cause problems.
Jerry уважаемый! Подскажите пожалуйста - можно ли наклеить дополнительную защитную плёнку на внутреннем большом экране
поверх заводской?
The hinge alone is worth the upgrade
-said no one ever
It's amazing watching you tear down something I will be guarding with my life for the next 2 years until I pay it of and then at least another year after, lol. Thanks for making these. Love the videos!
Imagine if he made a teardown skin for his knife
Cosmo and Wanda cant hide no more! Great video as always Zach!
If OnePlus makes a foldable it will fold into 4 parts if you know what I mean🤣
This is awesome comment. Jerry will invent it to four parts which one plus also can't accomplish
Hey bro, when are you gonna upload the tear down of NUBIA red magic 7 ??
Next is to make a folding battery.
7:02 pull tabs are also more satisfying to remove
Hey Jerry, why do you think Samsung keep releasing phones with such poor charging compared to their competitors, there is negligible improvement on all fronts, plugged-in, wireless and reverse charge. Other phones on the market are offering significantly higher charging rates, 65W, 100W, even 150W. I appreciate that with these speeds come heat and reduced battery life overall but Samsung just doesn't seem to be competing in this space.
In the UK, I'm with the O2 network and their options each year usually result in Samsung or iPhone being the only true options for a flagship, seems disappointing with the price point of these devices that we aren't getting more innovation from Samsung in this area.
Love the videos by the way, keep them coming!
Meh, the 25W charging I get on my S21U is plenty fast. The 45W you get with the S22 Plus and Ultra is more than enough
I´ve had one for about 18 months. After 6 months i could hear the hinge crackling (probably because of dust building up inside the hinge, dunno) and it finally started to really glitch a few days ago, as it wouldn´t fully open - stopping at around 85% to 90%. I tried to clean it from the outside and it opens perfectly! But the inner display is not working anymore xD Welp, i´ll wait until this futuristic tech gets more... real world usable (and abusable) before getting another foldable. I think I rather have a S23ultra and a full size tablet instead of a foldable for now.
The only glass that survives this durability test was the Back Glass
One minute silence for the outer and inner glass 😑
I bought the z fold 4 after your teardown and durability test. I was in the market for a tablet for invoices and estimates in my mobile repair business. I have had it for 2 weeks so far. The android os itself is good from my perspective and use. Some apps are not optimized 100% like when switching from fold to tablet sometimes the aspect ratio is off or the screen orientation stays locked innth3 wrong direction but I think that has to do.with the app not the phone itself. My only gripe so far is the simplistic phone cases that are available for these. I found one that I like that also.hold my s pen and covers the hinge but I miss the true otterbox defender I had on my galaxy phones. Thanks for the video.
Classic example of 1 step forward 2 steps back... Innovative design, but hard to recycle and near impossible to repair.
If Samsung aren't careful they are in for a bad time. No matter how much money they throw at it.
To repair center screen I believe it comes with new frame & hinge, so they gotta pry them batteries out! Of the old one! Unless they just use new batteries as well...
what is the second hole inside the screen? I know 1 is for under screen camera, but what about the 2nd hole near it? mine has it too.
ayeeeeede im early
Yes
That graphite colored lubricant is probably molybdenum disulphide
Watched this on my fold 4 and thinking getting that green knife. Good as always!
hi sir jerry.. im your #1 fan here in the Philippines.. im always watching your videos esp. your own electric Humvee.. when is the next update of it.. hehe.. God bless🙏😇
Would order Cosmo and Wanda knives for the heck of it.
You should use a thin blade while removing the display than it will be more safe for display try to do that ...
THESE VIDEOS ARE JUST SECOND TO NONE!!
Took me some time to get used to but now I find your videos kinda satisfying, watching you go to town on an expensive phone like this one, lol.
yeah i don't think the warranty covers a JerryRig test
Will you be doing a video on the galaxy watch 5? I'm curious to see if it is legitimately has sapphire glass
These king of videos are very helpful to other people to spend their money on a good device....thanks for doing that....🔥🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍❤❤❤love from Sri Lanka
Youre amazing handyman
I love this mobile samsang Galaxy💗💪
The way these devices operate is remarkable and with all of the technologies built in, I wonder how I ever did without it, I am very dependent and reliant on my phone and my tablet and watch.
*This guy is every tech engineer's worst fear/nightmare/enemy*
i dont know why but everytime i see his teardown videos,my heart just beats faster.😅😅
Now I gotta see the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 torn apart!! Keep up the great work!
Never disappoints with that humor touch 😂
Please teardown Flip 4 Please.
I have the Z Fold 3 and it is working well.
I just finally went from my note 10+ to the fold 3 couple days ago lol. That note 10+ is hard to break from! Great phone!
Do this for Flip 4 as well! Thanks for your the efforts for our curiosity satiety.
