We are on the 7th gen Z Fold and there are still some devices from that line that have problems. While it is a first gen TriFold, its less risky than the first gen Z Fold was. They have been working with the hinge design and UTG for 7 plus years now. This feels far from a first gen product. It feels just like the Z Fold 7 except another half ZF 7 sandwiched on to the end which creates nearly the perfect experience for media consumption and, in my case, actually working on the device. The only issues I have are a few apps that don't quite format properly when unfolded and it really is a minor inconvenience. I've had every iteration of the Z Fold except the 4 and this is easily my favorite device of the last 10 years. If it develops an issue during the warranty period I'm lucky enough to have a Samsung store in my area and I will take it to them directly instead of dealing with their crappy online customer service. I have zero worries at all about this device other than them not having Samsung Care+ available for any moments of clumsiness I may have.
