For now, the phone is turned off and in a drawer. I may also check with the repair store to see what they will charge for an OEM battery + installation. If it's too much $$$, then I'll just hang onto the phone as a potential trade-in (sometimes the carrier will take a phone in any condition as a...

So, one last post to this thread. My Samsung Flip 3's battery swelled to the point that the case backing on both halves separated (there are actually two batteries in the phone). I am not sure how long this has been happening, as the cell phone case was apparently keeping the phone together, but...

Well, it's been 15 months since my last post in this thread. While my Samsung Flip 3 is still working fine, my wife's died today. The screen developed a big black bar in the middle today, and began to spread, The upper half of the screen would not respond to any touches. It was pretty much...

I was using the phone paired with my bluetooth ear buds listening to music while we sat down at the beach at our SC condo for several hours, and still did not have any battery capacity issues. I even watched a Steelers football game via video streaming down at the beach club one Sunday and still...

Todd, for the way we use our phones, battery life has not been an issue at all. I have owned phones that support wireless charging for years, so have scattered wireless chargers around the house and condo in strategic areas. We are never away so long or use our phones enough to run the battery...

We have been using our Samsung flip phones for a few months now, and my wife and I both really like the devices. The compact size is a huge plus (no pun intended), and the outer screen is a nice addition to allow you to check notifications, control music playback, etc. without flipping the phone...

The smaller Z Flip 3 was the model my wife and I both bought. When folded, it's as small as any flip phone I owned in the pre-Smartphone era, which is quite nice. The Galaxy Z Fold 3 is a much larger phone -- when folded it's the size of a regular smartphone, and when unfolded is more like a...

Two and a half years later, and I am now the owner of a foldable phone -- the 2021 Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3. My old phone -- Samsung Galaxy S10e -- was coming apart due to the battery expanding, plus my wife needed a new phone, as her LG was not going to be compatible with T-Mobile's network when...

That was quick. This would go down in history as one of the biggest product failures of all time -- worse than New Coke or the Microsoft Zune.

I am due for a new phone, as the Sprint lease on my Galaxy S8 is up. I can guarantee everyone I will not be getting a foldable phone. This seems like a recipe for disaster.

I'm sure it will be quite a few years before the cost comes down on such as feature. I still prefer a smaller phone -- I need to be able to put it in my front pants pocket, as well as the valuables pocket of my golf bag. I went with the smaller Samsung Galaxy S8 over the 8+, and will do the same...
