Time and time again, I am stunned just how unrepairable modern devices are. It's pretty sickening actually, but nonetheless, great fix!!

This proves that company’s can repair folding phones but choose not to. Love the videos Hugh

I learnt to repair my iphones through your videos and I'm simply amazed on how great of a worker you are Hugh, you're simply amazing and I can't imagine myself taking on that venture even if i had the money and the tools, but you inspire me to keep practicing!

Seller be like "was in great condition then all the sudden i dropped it and it wasn't" lmao

Nice repair and restoration, and I'm glad to hear it worked out OK for you! Having said that, due to the fragile nature of these phones, I wouldn't be getting one anytime soon. If I want a phone with two screens, I'll get a proper dual screen phone, like the LG G8X.

Oh no, did Mr. Mobile break his flip phone again?

You're an absolute boss, sir. Came across your channel few weeks ago and I choose to stay. Much love to you ✌️

As usual, you are stunning! I’ll grateful you care enough to fix these contraptions!

I work on Samsung phones on a daily basis, mostly OEM repairs. And my least favorite part of working on them is dealing with adhesive. It really is an art to get it just right. I am lucky that I have access to Samsung's adhesive so I don't have to use the liquid stuff but still it is very annoying!

It's amazing how complex the internals are!

Amazing work as always! Thank you for sharing. We now have the same phone!

Fascinating, and great job, as always.

Well done! Great repair!

0:28 “Phone was in great condition until it was damaged” Oh yeah, it’s like saying “my Satsuma engine was working until I mis-shifted from 3rd to 2nd at 8000 RPM, causing the engine block to go googats, puncturing the oil pan, thus activating the self lubrication chassis system, and making piston 4 nowhere to be found”

These kind of videos are like good breeze on hot summer day thanks

Hi Hugh. Massive thanks for making this video. The main camera died on my ZFlip3. I was able to fix it by replacing the motherboard thanks to you. I might be the only one out there who's had a fault with a flip but it wasn't the screen! At least the internals are easy to come by! Cheers.

4:06 alcohol and guitar picks are also good for prying free emotions too 😂

I used to repair a lot of phones for family and friends. While I loved owning a Z Fold 2, just like this phone, it requires so much TLC to keep it functioning. I'm moving back to a flat phone that doesn't feel like a brick in my pocket 👍

Great repair. I ditched my z3 flip that i bought in October 21 for the s22 ultra in March 22 due to the screen cracking on the hinge. Tbh it is the best phone i ever had, but is a shame about the screen cracking after being meticulously looked after!

i own a flip 3, and so far its been about as durable as any other phone ive owned personally. its been dropped closed and open. only issue ive had is that the screen protectors just, keep unsticking. but besides that, its been a great phone, and i love its folding aspect

Thank you so much Hugh

Wow bruh I checked out your store you ain’t Lying you got some grate Deals over there definitely going to buy one from you 🙂

I like the concept of folding smartphones a lot, but I wish they'd ditch the folding screen and make it two separate displays with a tiny line in between them (like dual monitors for a computer). Then have the software treat those two screens as one. Sure it's not as "cool", but it's a lot more practical, durable, and you get the same utility (plus probably at a _much_ cheaper price point). I've only seen one phone do it this way, and I don't recall it getting a lot of attention.

Great work, I wouldn’t have the patience for this

Good stuff, Hugh 👌

I love your channel so much

Love your videos bro ty keep it up ❤️

clean and tidy work!

his videos are the main reason i am watching youtube. edit: your videos are so satisfying

Great repair, impressed with how much alcohol you’re able to drink and use it to your advantage.

Great repair!

OMG, thankful was able to watch this. I’m actually thinking of upgrading to Flip4 (from iphone11) foldable phones are cute and so advanced, but hesitating since it’s only a 4th edition so I’m guessing the folding technology is not that sturdy yet. So this video def proved that foldable phones are still a risky purchase. I’m not rich so if I buy a $1000 phone I’ll be wanting a minimum of 3years with it.

Experts made it look so easy 😀

Im surprised that you didn't use a water resistant adhesive since the phone is water resistant

Honestly as a tech, my way forward for my fold 3 down the track will be diy, and considering currently in Australia, $750 gets you a replacement housing like this for the flip 3, it still beats buying a new $2500 phone

A similar happened to my flip3 and managed to get it fixed with warranty.

I’ve had one of those in the same color. Promptly sold it to a friend after a few weeks (it had complimentary Care+), especially after reports of the screen spontaneously cracking at the crease and getting scruffs at the hinge from normal use. Repairing the screen is expensive if you didn’t get Care+. If you pre-ordered one, you’re one of the lucky ones that get complementary Care+ protection for 1 year and a 25W charger. Right now, they’re selling even slightly used ones for less than half of the retail price because of the cost of repair (especially if you don't have Care+).

It is a beautiful phone ..great job Hugh

well done Huge

The restoration is quite satisfying. I wouldn't spend my money on foldables just yet though. The durability still concerns me and I like to keep my phone for years until it no longer receives software and security updates.

Outstanding job..

Always slipped a tissue over the bezel when flipping it, its help for over flipped the screen

Great work.

i enjoy watching e waste being reuse and saving the raw material . thanks

GREAT VIDEO THNX

I wonder how they achieved such a break. mine has been dropped a few times, i even tripped over with it in my pocket and nothing. she is fine. just amazed.

The first thing that gets me is how new this is and it already needs repairing, barely a year after it was launched.

My Flip is still working as it should after 9 months. The only thing that needed replacing was the included screen protector.

thanks for sharing what liquid adhesives you use to reattach back panels, i had been wondering for months.

great work! unfortunetly i can not get any screen(with or without frame) replacements.

Hugh what educational post on KZfaq, heck the shadedy repairer would not touch it because of complexity of the internal

No matter how many times I watch your videos time after time, you have given me hope on how to repair any android phone. You are one amazing repairman.

Superbe work! Thanks for sharing. In one of your A51 you mentioned that the fingerprint was an issue while swapping screens , is it the case with this one ? I need to change the screen on my Fold 3 so I was wondering. Thanks in advance for your kind help 😊 and keep up good work 👏

Keep it my brother.

Damn i remember watching your videos when i was 8 on our smart TV. And now for the First Time i'm early in One of your videos 😲

Thanks, after watching this video I now want a broken Z Flip 3.

Great video

Enjoy watching your videos⭐️Thank you😇⭐️

Props for saying z the right way 🥳🥳😁

i have a fold 2 and its still perfect and has no scratches , my wife has the flip 3 and shes not a soft going person , but the screen is perfect after over 6 months heavy use. these folds seem to brake with people who want to destroy the phone in holland you can buy a new one for around €500 or 350 for a second hand one , so replacing the screen seems an expensive fix

Amazing video bro❤️❤️

I absolutely love my Z Flip, Z fold 3 5G and my Razr 5G. Foldables have stolen my heart as a tech enthusiast and a tech reviewer.

New ones already get sold for ~600€ here, there are also some deals with a Watch4 or phone contracts to get it even cheaper :D

thank for video ❤️

Also got a Flip3. Mine is now about 10 month old and shows deep scratches along the folding display part. It seems like the top layer plastic(display foil came off after 6 month of use) broke open. Rly sad because otherwise my Flip 3 proved to be pretty solid. Can't report a worn out hinge or any other signs of wear and tear. So i definitely consider to repair mine. Samsung typically gives you a new screen for 1/2 the typical repair cost(450€) if it breaks within the first year of purchase. 225€ still cheap compared to a whole display assemble

Impressive Wizardry Sir.

how i wish i could hav one of those. Happy Holidays......☺👍🙏

AH-HA! GREAT VIDEO!!! Thanks! I love your commentary, too. I own one of these little monster puzzles. I use to work at computer repair store. What an ugly, thankless job that was. I use to repair desktops, laptops and expensive media walkman cassette reorders. Talk about mechanical cr4p, you need to lay everything out in an orderly fashion. This is so repairing it's easier to do monkey see, monkey do repairs. You've got good fundamental practices. Give yourself a pat on the back!

Crazy to see that they are so expensive in australia. I think they go for under 600€ brand new in Germany.

its honestly kind of crazy how much these cracked display ones go on sale for, pcs and laptops will usually stay a little higher due to all the hardware inside but the 230 dollar one you bought while having an incredibly destroyed screen seems like all the internals work just fine

Recently got myself one of these in perfect "like new" condition for only £400 (I'm becoming obsessed with buying tech the moment the next gen model comes out, just got a 2021 legion 7 for £700 less than the 22 model despite only a 10% performance difference, imo it's the best way to find bargains). I absolutely love the phone, it's the perfect replacement for my old note 8 as I get that note sized screen but it can still fit in women's jeans pockets (crucial as I don't carry a handbag). my biggest worry tho is reparability, I know the screen protector on the front has a tendency to crack over time and replacing it is not an easy process (thankfully the person I bought from had Samsung replace the original before sending it to me but still it's a worry). I suppose I just have to accept that this is not the type of phone I can keep using for 3+ years like my previous ones, tbh if it makes it 2 I'll be doing well. still for the price I paid I don't really mind, top of the line specs and a cool factor that'll impress more than the latest iPhone is pretty good for only £400, hopefully by the time it breathes it's last I'll be able to get a flip 5 for a good price and fingers crossed it'll be out of the early adopters phase by then.

@hugh. What I'd like to know is does the fingerprint scanner still work after the replacement ?

Love the way samsung has also put their advert at the start of this video

I was thinking of buying one of these to repair, I should probably just get a cheap iphone first though huh

I was quite surprised to hear only $350 for a new screen. Kinda seems worth it to fix and flip (haha pun!)

The reason there was silicone around the front facing camera is to help keep dust out i think.

STILL WAITING ON THAT HUGH JEFFREYS MERCH DROP THOUGH 😁😁

Dear Hugh, is there any possibility to use the Motherboards from newer Smartphones with enough potential for building a type of Android/Gaming Box? Most likely an adapter for the screen to plug it to the Motherboard?

Nice video man! Need a new phone so if this is for sale I’d like to buy it!

My guess would be that the silicon adhesive on the front face cam is more shock absorbing material than glue.

I'm getting the z fold 4 as soon as it comes out

if the z flip had a full size external screen, i would consider getting one. so i opted for the razr

Broo in Lebanon you can buy a fully functional one that still has warranty for 500 usd !

0:12 "Samsung's newest foldable phone" well that got dated quickly.. lol

I did a hinge replacement on one of these.

And you are good for the next 5 months!

I’m buying the 1st gen Z flip in the beautiful purple colorway for only $155 and actually fully functions I was in decent condition no crease or anything so I’m excited I have to be super careful though so it doesn’t start creasing

nice work SAMSUNG.. you made usable E WASTE, that goes obsolescent in a years time

It's like a jigsaw? Nice work.

I've owned 3 z flip 3s now, my first two had factory faults resulting in green dead pixels on the screen. it's a shame they couldn't offer a repair, but on the bright side I got it covered by warranty both times

Hey I know it's most likely it's because Australia doesn't have a samsung repair station but that would have been covered by limited warranty kn the flip and fold 3s they're offering the replacement screen and battery for the first 2 years

3:11 Now I want someone to make a transparent case for this phone, it looks way cooler without the back

Have you ever repaired the inside screen on a galaxy fold 3? if so. do you have a video?

Have a first gen one. Would love it if the battery life weren't dreadful.

I have a Question whereabouts did you purchase the replacement part from

Esse procedimento de troca do display mantém a certificação IPX8?

yo dude, huge, where do you get that B7000 glue? is there a reputable place ??

Do you have to get the correct screen for the model or are they universal?

Exactly how do people know how to do this without breaking stuff and putting it back together again and having it work

I looked but didn't see, has he ever done a surface duo? I busted my one screen I can't even find the glass. Hoping maybe he'd done it and would know where to get the glass. Thanks again for any leads or info.
