It happened to mine yesterday I dripped it

I'm not im on s 24

Same here - 1st week. Now it's running so hot it's telling me to turn it off.

frightening

I'm not kidding, probably on my 7th or 8th now as of this morning, barely even dropped it, had a $100 protective case with hinge protector and STILL instantly the lines came up and it bled from the hinge

this just happened to me. i just pushed the two halves of the phone and slowly opened and it did! the only problem is, i dont think this is a folding phone anymore 😀

It doesn't matter how it lands or if it's in a case. Your phone can belly flop right on the front and the hinge will pop. It'll be on the left side and will result in only opening it between 75 and 100 degrees before feeling resistance as your screen starts to flex the wrong way. If you firmly guide it you can get it to smoothly open with a couple of pops into place. At this point it'll close but be hard to open and the more times you open you'll develop screen issues over where the screen creases.

Flew out of my bag, I'm heartbroken

Wish I watched this video my phone did the same.

Mine fell from my desk on carpet....

Petition for a class action suit!

I dropped my flip 3 on the carpet and this happen to me as well. I will not be buying any more flip phones from Samsung!

Nothing strange with this, everytime phone drops it can be broken 🙄breakes no warranty

The same thing happened to me when I dropped it at work! Luckily they repaired it under warranty even though I have Samsung Care on the device, and they fixed it within 3 days!

This is exactly what happened to me. However my hinge was already loose before I dropped it. So I think there might have been something wrong before.

Same is happened to my phone o first I think it's just the case due to which it is not opening but poor me its hinge broken

Same thing😢😊

Got me too..fell about 2 feet. Case on ..hinge broke can only open 90 degrees..

How do we start a class action lawsuit became I am so pissed. I owned this phone for ONE MONTH and the same exact thing happened to me. I wanted to give Samsung/Android a try after owning an iphone since 2011 and this happens. How can they sell a phone that cost over 1k and it breaks this easily, this is a scam!

Heading to Verizon store tomorrow to get this replaced.

I just got off the phone with Samsung hoping they could offer an alternative or even a discount on the purchase of a new device. They were absolutely no help and said that the minute the phone fell, the warranty was void. So this is something to consider; I wonder if a class-action lawsuit for the horrible design of this phone might hurt them where it counts?

Wow! I am reading through these comments. This is the worst design ever! I bought mine in October 2022. I have already dropped the first one and sent it to get repaired. I just dropped it again last week. Like the others here, I have a Samsung Galaxy that I also put through the wringer and it's still running. I am actually using it instead of this new one. Can we not all complain to Samsung about this? The concept is great but the weak design is just horrible and they are not cheap!!! As for deductibles, I have a$300 deductible and am still on a payment plan for this phone! I am going to call Samsun as well and complain.

Im using my wifes replacement Flip 4 because she just had her original one replaced. Her hing broke too after one drop and she was so mad she didnt even want the replacement one. So no swapped my sim into it to give the new one a try. If i dont like it ill trade it in. Hers mad it 6 months though thankfully.

same here, fell today not that high and had also cover and left side is fucked.

Exactly what happened to mine recently

why is that only the left side pops up? every comment I see and even with my phone the left side pops out.

Well mine is not equal/balance when its closing theres a tic sound

happned to me three times already, i have insurance and its a 100 dollar deductible.

Happened to me...400 to repair, just bought a s21 fe for 418...I'm only 5 month in my contract, I'll be paying twice the cost of the phone by the end of my contract

Same, phone is 3 months old, in a super protective case. Didnt even drop it, it just never opened up again, 700€ to fix it.... Never again will i buy a samsung

I found the problem. I think this problem has moved to flip 4 .Had to break the screen on my flip3. The problem is in the anthers. Inside the hinges there are laces / ropes that collect dust and protect against dust falling into the mechanisms. When your phone falls, this lace falls out of the seat.I think this is the same problem for all Samsung foldable phones

same bro the exact same thing

To everyone who said EXACLTLY SAME WAA WAA you are all INCOMPETENT c4nts

lol i can imagine the rest of yall scrolling through these comments with half your screen open

That's exactly the same side where my hinge got out of alignment. It fell from the bathroom counter onto a rug with a case but without any hinge protection. I was able to force it open and keep it open to use phone until replacement came in. I guess if it happens again to me I will know the screen will still work if force opened

Happened to me three times now costs me 99 each time. The flip 3 was built better where as the flip 4 was built to be able to go at different angles better. I dropped mine like 2 feet with a rugged protected case and it keeps happening

The same thing happened to me, I called Samsung to complain. There's clearly a design flaw. I mean a device designed to be on your person several hours a day, should've been designed in a way to withstand a 50cm fall... They claimed that there's nothing wrong with the design and that I clearly abused the phone. First fall, 5 weeks ownership. Now I have to waste another €550 on this thing.

This has happened to me twice now with 2 Z Flip 4s

I didn’t even drop mine and it just did the same thing!!!

had the phone for a month, was in the exact same case as yours. just dropped it 30mins ago and its not looking good as far as repair goes

New gearless hinge is a joke! Thats why it feels like a pocket knive to open. Way too hard "breaking point"(the point at which enough force is applied to start folding process) which is the result of increased friction within the new hinge. Much unlike the old Flip 3 hinge, which provides smooth operation and easy one handed opening. (even with the pinkie) Samsungs decision to cheap out on the new hinge design rly grinds my gears.

Just happened to me not even a hour ago, mine is probably a bit more slanted and will only open about 45 or so degrees

Same happened to my Flip 4, literally about 20 mins ago!!! With a UB Pro case, slid off the sink counter, about 3' to the linoleum tiled floor. Have had it about 1.5 months, no drops. Now gotta figure out what to do, or even if I want to keep this beautiful phone!

Had the EXACT SAME issue today. Small drop, my phone is exactly the same as yours, same angle, same lifting issue on the left

Piece of shit phone. I should've went for the S22. 330 Euro to fix it after a drop of less than 40 centimeters.

So far I have had two of these phones do this to me on the exact same side. Thanks leave Verizon has replaced the phone for free both times but I have not even had this phone for 6 months

mine broke to but a lot worse condition the schreen broke the hinge did not work schreen lifted and more
