What’s your opinions for buying a used flip3 from places like amazon or CEX, judging from reviews the biggest worry is that the screen will breaking less than a year of second hand use.
If you’re really set on a flip phone, might be worth checking out other & newer alternatives, Nubia flip, Razr flip…something you can buy new, at half the price of a Samsung…
Just adding to the chorus that while it’s cool and conveniently sized the screen just falls apart.
I’ve got one and it’s cool… but that’s about it.
It’s starting to chug now with modern apps (or legacy apps with new updates), the touchscreen is becoming increasingly unresponsive, that battery health is starting to go off a cliff… but all those factors can be levelled at any two or three year old phone.
The hinge is the problem. My understanding is that Samsung has made a better design for the SGF 5 and 6, but i’m already on my second phone after the hinge caused the phone screen to bleed out from the centre, and I’m getting the crackle of doom from the hinge starting to sound already.
If you’re desperate for a flip phone, then I’d advise you stay clear of the SGF3 and consider the Oppo Find N2 or the Nubia Flip.
