I wonder how many of them are still in use? I'm also curious as to how many screens are still working, and how many people replaced cracked screens or bad hinges vs just getting a new device.

I never had a problem with my ZF3. Just once I got inner screen protector replaced by Samsung which costed me $20. Still running smooth. The foldable form factor Google introduced in US killed my excitement for ZF5. But tensor G2 is just not worth it.

Don't want to jinx anything but I have no reason to upgrade to the ZF5. Same inner and outer display size. The crease is still there and from videos it's hardly improved. The dimensions of the outer display remains too small to be practical for a daily driver.

I'm hanging onto the ZF3 until closer to payoff so I can dump it and get either the S23U or S24U (assuming they keep the name on the update to the S23U).

One issue for me is having to replace the inner screen protector at ubreakifix every 6 months and paying $20.

Im holding off until Samsung changes dimensions of the phone. It's too iterative of an upgrade for me personally. But the Flip 5 is coming home with me on launch date, that thing looks nice 👍

I'm sticking with the ZF3 for now as well.

I swapped my SIM a few weeks ago, tried my old Note 10 just to see how it would feel for a weekend. Couldn't wait to swap back to the ZF3.

It will be very difficult to go away from this foldable form factor for me. I'm going to wait for the ZF6 to decide if it will be another Samsung for me are will it be possible for another brand to take my money.
