“Incompetent repair guy” 😭🤣 he was so upset about that metal plate
Its true tho 😭🤣

Now he wants his phone back. :D
Probably the first to dislike this video 🤫
I think i saw this as well! Thought about fixing it too lol. But yeah those displays are so exspensive!
Cool
Might as well buy a new phone
Stop making Concept phones and misleading people from believing the phones are real

1 grit just waiting
it looks like this phone was attacked by the one grit
Anyone else noticed how much better Hugh is at opening a device? He always uses plastic tools and takes care to not scratch, while some bald guy uses a razor blade and scratches the frame in the process
True! But I still love the bald guy
@@carstuff4u942 well, we can always like Agent 47, but his attention to detail is nowhere near Hugh
Thankfully he disassembles already trashed phones most of the time. So this isn't a problem.
@@dannulik people could end up taking his teardown videos a bit too seriously and scratching up their frames. It’d be better if he said “use plastic tools”. But no, the bald guy even told people to start by the plastic antenna line with a metal tool, thus damaging the antenna line in the process
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
9:53 "Folding phones are a lot like exotic cars. They look nice, cost loads and are a nightmare to repair."
Me watching this on my new Z Fold 3: *chuckles to self* "I'm in danger."
I hope your phone lasts you a long time, friend :)
Hopefully those phones are not as fragile as they appear!
The Motorola? Which is a better flip? Those or this Samsung?
Z Flip3 user here, I'm terrified on how much this shits gonna cost to repair if it goes cack on me.
This is why I buy insurance for my phone.
I love that you repair stuff rather than throwing it away. I’m far too clumsy to do these kind of things myself so I go to people like you to get gadgets fixed. Great job!
@:/ :/
Foldable phones are like Land Rovers: they look amazing, just don’t touch anywhere ever or breath too hard near them.
In my opinion foldable smartphones are not good everyday phones as Floss carter said these kinda phones are more of a secondary phone for weekends or to flex and show off to people during fancy events or gatherings just like the RangeRover isn’t always a daily car these phones aren’t everyday phones
@@Crazyreviewer123 how many people do you know that wants to own a phone specifically just for “flexing”? Especially one that breaks just by using it the way its intended? How many times have you seen that happen? Thats a whole other level of dumbass. Its a dumb design, and yes, Land Rovers ARE intended as everyday cars, their literal marketing was based on them being tough, but they are pieces of garbage now and it’s totally fine to notice that something SUCKS
@@CBrown86 well I just get mixed messages about range rovers some say they are reliable others say they aren’t but I realize that life is short and you should get what makes you happy and enjoy it anytime you want some people like reserving special cars on weekends but it all depends on the person same goes for smartphones
@@CBrown86 nah they're actually pretty durable- you can look at the video by Jerryrigseverything if you want an example
I guess I don’t see the point in foldables. They just seem to be a “look what we can do” technology. Idk, I’ll probably be eating my words ten years from now, but as of 2021, I don’t get it.
I agree, They just seem so pointless, plus the fact that they are SUPER easy to scratch and mess up.
Which is why I think the future is going to stay as normal phones. Maybe a wrap-around screen here and there, but foldables are not the way to go.
In the current state, the tech isn't perfect, sure. For me, the small footprint is something that I'd like to see in modern phones more, and I can't forsee that being done without foldable tech. In my opinion like 5 years from now, most of us will be using foldables, but we'll have to wait and see. It's very much possible that foldables will slowly disappear from the market if the costs don't get lowered quick enough.
The vertical flip phones that fold are useless imo, but horizontal folding ie like a book phones do have a use since they can create much more significant screen space.
Foldables merges tablets and phones together, and for smaller foldables they are for saving space. Other than that they are pretty useless
I work at Best Buy in America and we have a Z-flip that is folded like 100+ times a day since the phone was launched. It has tons of scratches all over the display. A customer even stabbed the display multiple times with a pen. It has 0 issues even with physical damage. It’s all up to luck with these foldable phones honestly.
Scratches at a level 1 with deeper grooves at a level... breathing too hard
- MKBHD -
LMAO, I just watched that video
Scratches at a level 1, And gets cut at a level 6
These foldables scratch at a level 2 with deeper grooves at a level 3. They will also be damaged by just a fingernail. Such is the nature of fragile plastic displays.
*I would treat that phone like a baby if I ever get one of these! That’s insane!*
That's what my dad does
@@bigmaxcc My dad brought his phone to a forklift before...
Let's just say...
He got an S10 after
After a month or so, you'll stop babying the heck out out of it.
You still have to treat it differently from all the other slab phones tho. But once you get comfortable with them, you'll realize they ain't as frg
Fragile as you'd expect.
I'm also aware of that if you want me help you out text me with my cell phone number (985) 235-2957
@@patriciarichard2881 why
The parts cost $1,033, of which the screen was $895.
6:31 Ahh yes liquid adhesive. In other words Glue.
Glue: Pooh
Liquid adhesive: Pooh with tuxedo
@@orio4155 XD
@@orio4155 lol!😂😂😂😂
stronger glue lol
Why does everything have to involve something that become trash when you remove it let alone the screen which says a lot about it.
Comprehensive, Hugh. Great as usual.
Is his bame Hugh??
@@3rlfx694 yes it’s same as his channel name.
Wow, I mean - in my town it was difficult to find someone to replace a screen on my s8 a year ago, where I would be sure nobody would mess it up in the process. Fixing a Z flip is some serious skill, and all the bragging rights are rightfully yours. Cheers!
It looked so nice when the new screen powered on! What a crazy design- I’ve been wondering how these things work.
I love "repairing" Samsung devices, although the parts typically are expensive, you can see how they really thought about the reparability to make it as smooth as possible. The parts are also stable and top notch!
How does this happen? This phone is sometimes indestructible and sometimes it breaks with one nail. Also your videos are awesome
I used to use an iPhone 8. I've dropped it countless times on hard surfaces and it never sustained any damages. I put it against a refrigerator door, and the screen cracks.
@@insert_username_here ikr. I drop my phone on concrete and nothing happens, but it slides off a table and onto carpet it cracks.
Lol IndesTructiBle? 🤣🤣🤣🤣hahahahahaha. HAHAHAHAHAHA. No, just no
It's really annoying. I broke my screensaver with my bloody thumb nail and I can drop it on sidewalks and tile floors and it carcks
@@HuyTran-sb2ql do have any explanation as to why that doesn’t boil down to “foldables are fragile”? Cause I’ve seen those things take a beating and come out with minimal damage.
Great video Hugh. I would recommend that instead of the liquid adhesive, you buy a roll of 3M 300LSE. It's the same adhesive that's been used on many of these devices for years. Many different thicknesses are available and you can just cut strips to suit.
I brought one of these new in July and it is an amazing phone. I will never go back to cheap phones again.
Looks good! Bummer parts are so much for them because it actually seems decently easy to repair.
Love this guy man he's a genius with phone's he should open he's own repair shop
Love the quality that goes into your repairs
I love how you and you channel have grown from repairing IPods to advancing to iPhones and now leaping to foldables big up from SA🇿🇦❤
Your videos are sooooo relaxing, i always watch them when you release.
I have started trying to fix phone they are so fascinating. I bet you are the best phone fixer ever!!!!!!!
Samsung need to master the fold and flip technology. And I'm pretty sure that they will.
first time watching your content and I subbed, you are easy to understand and get straight to the point without fuss. I look forward to watching more of your content.
Comprehensively explained. Thanks Hughs.
I love the concept. They just need to nail it like todays sandwich phones.
I had Fold 1 and sold it recently, after 1 year of usage, took good care of it, the folding display had very minor barely visible scratches and worked perfectly.
These phones are not for everybody, you need to handle them with care.
Also,folding smartphones have plastic screens not glass
I learned a lot from your videos sir hugh... although im not a cellphone technician... I like how you repair all those broken phones, thre's no brand that you cant repair....
more power and keep safe....
Been stoked for this video! Good job 💜
One of many reason why people avoid "flip screen", i rather had 2 screens than fragile flippable screen.
Yep, me too. The Surface Duo seems a more durable product with its two separate screens, both protected with glass
@@gab_v250 Exactly!
Two screens? Sounds like a Nintendo DS...
@@drakonua another reason why DS and 3DS emulators could work better on portable two-screen devices
I got a ZTE Axon M, and it's got two separate regular glass screens. Works great when emulating old Nintendo consoles.
Screen seller: screen for 800 dollars
Apple and Samsung executives: write that down, write that down!
It came from Samsung themselves….
6:31 my light ocd is screaming at how you squeezed from the top and not from the bottom of the tube lol great video as always!
This was so interesting I always wondered how the process would be of repairing one of these folding phones. Great video as always!
I was looking forward to this video👀
help support my channel friends, my fans are still small
850$ for the display, god damn
I always look forward to watching your videos! 💯🙏🏽
Another great restoration, Hugh!
it actually cost 2 kidneys to repair this phone
Ok
Yeeess! Love his videos! I absolutely LOVE it when he uploads! Makes my day! Keep up the awesome work bro!👌 ❤
Thanks! Will do!
@@HughJeffreys yo can I buy the phone?
Happy to see you working on an foldable phone, great video as always!
Finally I knew you could do it Hugh you are a special tech repairman
You are the rich rebuilds of phone repairs. #righttorepair
This is like wheeler Dealers if it was a phone repair show!
I have been watching your videos and now I also want to start getting old (and maybe broken) phones and start repairing them!
Wanted start doing this before but never got into it but with your videos and helpful website I think i will get the repair kit and start asking people if they have old phones that they would throw away!
Great Video, I couldn't believe you found parts. I talk to the owner at headlane trying to get some affiliate marking for me and you X :) He didn't even know about your videos. Looked everywhere for parts for my z flip in the usa. Thanks for making cool videos! How did you do it? The 600k+ subs. I think my videos might be too boring LOL
Yeah yeah I agree it looks like a crime scene
Don’t know if you know, but Louis Rossmann gave you a shoutout in his latest video 💎💎
Link?
@@suntake th-cam.com/video/PPnz7DjM4CE/w-d-xo.html - it’s today’s video
Yep!
@@alpha13sierra thanks
The way the phone is built is quite different almost as if it where the bridge to normal smart phones. Good video glad to see one of these fixed.
I’ve waited a year for this moment, awesome video!
That is what i was waiting for !
Edit: i always wonder how can any one be this brutal to thier phones ??
Me too. Spent $650 on my iPhone 6 and still treat it like a baby. It’s still in brand new condition. Not even a single scratch. 😀
"foldables are kinda like exotic cars - they look nice, they cost loads and they are a nightmare when it comes to repairs" - Hugh Jeffreys
-copy pasta
I never thought to compare them to luxury cars. You are absolutely correct!
Good job! You made that look so easy, despite the complexity of these phones.
1:23 SOMEONE'S BEEN IN HERE
dankpods 😂😂
Just when I thought Aussies would pronounce Z as Zed.
Yeah I thought the same. I was happy that an Aussie was going to pronounce it Zed, and then he proceeds to mispronounce it the whole video!
O O F
I swear man, these videos out on my stoop on the weekends are my zen.
I had been looking forward to this or the galaxy fold for repair. Worth the wait great content.
honestly, its not the technology, it's Samsung themselves as they basically control the price. it's the same reason why an s8 screen still costs around 100$
screen is the most expensive part of a samsung device most of the time plus the screen comes with a new body frame so for $100 its not a bad price
I smell an apple simp
@@xogodogo9787 no he is correct, a replacement screen for my note 10 would be over 400 dollars, that's just ridiculous, I could get a 55 inch tv for that money.
@@xogodogo9787 I think it's not necessarily this, lol. My Samsung Note 8's screen had issues and it estimated around $180 to repair it (and more than that in official Samsung stores) where I live and the difference of selling the phone with a defective screen as opposed to selling it after repairs isn't gonna cover the repair amount at all.
Tbh I'm on an iPhone X right now and I was glad to know that screen replacement for these are cheaper here ($100 or so).
Well isn't that anyone with a monopoly on parts? If anyone else can offer replacement screens, then there be some price competition. Also, idk how you can for sure this tech isn't expensive to manufacture in the first place.
"This battery was manufactured in like 2019"
Me: *W H A T*
It's a replacement battery

Great video - as are all of yours.
Keep up the quality and the good work
Super cool, video HJ! You really have a talent.
I love the Z Flip. Really want to buy one. If there is no Flippy iPhone by the end of the year I’m getting the Z Flip 5G
I know it looks really cool but I love the iPhone
What is eBay Tax? And why didn’t you use tesa tape?
eBay takes a percentage of a sale
It is a treat to watch repair of this damaged Z Flip phone.... Nice 👍
Firstime I saw a repairment of a folding phone on this TH-cam channel
The first channel to repair folding phone
Hats off!!! To Hugh Jeffrey's👍👍👍👍
Great Job and Interesting repair. On the comments at the end, this technology looks like its its infancy and Samsung will probably have to invest in improving it to resolve those issues. Id like a Z flip if Samsung ever releases a 1TB model though.
Why would you need 1TB of storage on a phone?
@@zeenxdownz well I do alot of screen recordings (live streams, IG stories, tiktoks, TH-cam etc) and it adds up quite quickly. I also do torrenting where I download Windows 10 and Windows 11 ISOs which can be 4-10GB aswell as other PC downloads like drivers which I transfer over to my PC. I do try to crop done of the recordings from 4GB to 1GB but they add up and storage fills up quickly. I also make tons of cute gifs I post to social media of my favorite celebrities and streamers. So yeah. I can't wait for 2, 3, 4 and 5TB phones in the future 😻😻
Hey Hugh where did you get those Samsung service parts from?
Ok
You do know Google is a thing right? You might just be the stupidest person on the earth
@@EndOfLineTech Ah come on. He ask Hugh politely and you call him stupid.
It's just not right, mate.
Marv Dondokambey yeah, it’s REALLY dumb to insult someone like this.
Your videos are fascinating, & your knowledge of all the working parts is mind boggling. 👍🇬🇧
You’ve been teasing this z flip for a while glad to finally see it get fixed the parts 💸💸💸💸💸
"hey bro i think there's something wrong with my phone"
"whats wron- holy crap.."
Did Jerryrigeverything send you that after he'd finished with it?
@Khunsaa TF you mean by 'Ok'?
hey Hugh love the cheap phone lots that you do and try fixing the phones would to see more of them in the future
I'm impressed with this guys skills.
the foldable technology is so advanced compared to other non folding phones, I think Samsung should make tougher to break screens so they will not have to be repaired as often, also I think that Samsung should drop the price down a lot on the screens! great video I enjoyed it!
I would like to know how to get this network password for any sim card :(
What else can i say, amazing job as always master.
People start DIY repair after watching ur videos,keep doing
Hugh my parents marriage is broken do you think you can repair that :(
Same
you thought this very good
I dropped my Z flip in water 😪
I got a replacement but it was the black model, I had the purple.
Best part of my Sunday is when hugh posts
Just waiting for the day... When Hugh will be the one of the greatest phone repair master...... ❤️❤️❤️..... I think the day isn't too far.....
1033$ for the parts, including $895 for the display. Don't make us wait till the end of the video like other clickbait channels, man..
Awesome job, love your videos😍
True definition of one man’s waste is another man’s treasure
I've never seen this phone before.. great video 📷
Great video ! Thanks Hugh
Ty i was waiting for this!
That was a tough repair but you tackled it without no problem.
Surprisingly easy to repair for a phone that expensive. 👍🏽
Yes, been finding restorations about this phone thanks...
One thing I love about the pre-2020 samsung phones is, for the most part, the screws are all the same size and don't require constantly swapping screw bits
that transparent casing around is great for redistributing the force aplied
Jerry : rig everything
Hugh : okay lemme fix that
