I have loved my Flip3 but after accidentally tearing half the screen off yesterday, I am now in a S23+.
Come to find out, NOBODY told me that we're not supposed to, despite them being sold, remove the factory screen protector.
And it seems that's the thing, according to VZW with alllll of the flip/folds out now. There is a danger of removing the screen when you remove the flip/fold protectors except the one that comes on it.
VZW and Asurion both told me that you need to put in a claim for a new screen when that one gets muddled up and bad.
I didn't know that. And learning that steered me away from the Flip.
All of that said, I'm really happy in my S23+ now.
I was ALWAYS losing my flip. It's nice that it folds up but really, it's a small form factor now. I lost it 2 or 3 times a week.
The battery life in my Zflip3 was without a doubt the worst battery life of ANY phone I've ever had. But that's a known issue.
I had to constantly carry a charger around. It got so old. I've done the same life with my S23 today and it's at 67 percent coming off the charger 10 hours ago.
And I LOVE being able to use DEX again.
I could go on about the change but I truly did love the experience for awhile with the Flip3. It's a very nice 'little' phone.
I may keep it and have the screen repaired, as a backup.
It's actually pretty cool. Just not as an everyday phone.
Anyway, just informing those in here to do NOT mess with your protector. It's really ugly when the screen itself peels back.
