Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 5G, US Version, 128GB, Graphite - Unlocked (Renewed)

I recently took the leap into the future of smartphones by purchasing the SAMSUNG Galaxy Z Flip 4, factory unlocked with 256GB, in its renewed condition. Having had my doubts about both a folding phone and a renewed device, I'm pleased to report that both have exceeded my expectations in every way. Here's why the Galaxy Z Flip 4 has won me over: Condition and Aesthetics: Opening the package, I was immediately struck by the pristine condition of the Galaxy Z Flip 4. For a renewed device, it was indistinguishable from a brand-new model. The sleek design, combined with the novelty of its flipping mechanism, makes it a standout device that draws attention and curiosity. Performance and Storage: With 256GB of storage, I've had no issues keeping my plethora of apps, photos, and videos on the device without worrying about space. The performance is top-notch, with seamless app transitions, no lag, and the ability to handle multitasking with ease. It's clear that the renewal process has not impacted its functionality. Display and Usability: The folding display is nothing short of revolutionary. The crisp, clear, and vibrant screen makes watching videos, browsing, and using apps pleasurable. The ability to fold it into a compact form is not just a novelty; it's incredibly practical, making it more pocket-friendly than any other smartphone I've owned. Battery Life: Initially, I had concerns about the battery life, given the phone's unique form factor. However, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 has consistently provided a full day's use on a single charge, even with heavy usage. The fast charging capability is a bonus, ensuring I'm never out of power for long. Camera Quality: The camera quality is impressive, producing sharp, vivid photos and videos. The unique form factor offers new ways to capture content, like setting the phone on a surface to take group shots with the timer without needing additional equipment. Renewed Value: Opting for a renewed Galaxy Z Flip 4 not only saved me money but also reassured me of Samsung's quality refurbishment process. It's an environmentally conscious choice that doesn't compromise on the cutting-edge experience this device offers. Overall Experience: The SAMSUNG Galaxy Z Flip 4 (Renewed) has been an absolute joy to use. It combines the novelty of a folding screen with the reliability and performance expected from a flagship Samsung device, all while offering great value and sustainability through its renewed status. Recommendation: For those intrigued by the latest in smartphone technology but looking to make a more wallet-friendly and environmentally conscious choice, the renewed SAMSUNG Galaxy Z Flip 4 is an excellent option. It's a conversation starter, a multimedia powerhouse, and, above all, a fantastic phone that stands out in the crowded smartphone market.

Up to today, the phone has never been dropped (on hard surfaces), looks brand new as if it came out of the box besides a very small blemish to the right of the camera lens. The color is beautiful and matches what is shown online. The phone was very responsive and quick for multiple tasks, it even worked well on Genshin Impact (the game) besides getting a little on the warm side. I paid $299.99 (plus $18.00 tax totaling $317.99) June 22 2024. The phones screen started peeling and shortly after turning into a black line 8-9 months of ownership. As of today, ~16 months of ownership the black line grew to cover ~1 inch varying in size across the middle of the screen. (The progression of the peeling over ~7-8 months) The black line and above no longer responds to touch, only can see display above the black line. Under the black line works as it should. The touch screen not working on the top was discovered as of yesterday. I'm not sure of how many total reports there have been of this model of phone but with my experiences I would consider a different phone and perhaps avoid all of the Galaxy Z Flip or Fold phones. If you do consider to buy a Flip or Fold phone and expect it to last quite a bit longer than the warranty, while still being reliable, I highly advise to do your research. Sharing the steps I've taken so far... I've contacted Amazon. Seems they cant do much as its after a year of when I'm reporting this. I left a voicemail to Chubbiestech, the seller, to see what they can do. I will give Samsung a try as well as this problem is from a design flaw, not wear and tear. I also taken multiple pictures and a video of the phone and the phone case purchased for the phone to show the condition of the phone (phone looks brand new besides the screen where it is peeling and some finger prints on the sides) I would post the video however it is too big in size. The pictures shown are the phone along with the phone case. The case is scratched up a bit on the bottom left corner, however this only caused a cosmetic flaw to the case purchased separately for the phone. The case did its job protecting the phone for normal use excluding drops as the phone has never been dropped on hard surfaces. I'm sure its been lightly tossed on the bed, dropped into a pocket, and placed into a purse with other items that most likely caused the cosmetic flaw on the case. The phone has only been open while in use, so only fingers and weather touched the screen. A screen protector has never been applied to the phone. This is the first time I've ever had trouble with a product design itself sold on the Amazon platform out of 86 items.

Very nice graphics would buy again. The battery doesn't last that long, so you have to charge it a lot.

Edit: Broke in less than two years just from regular folding. Only the second half works. It's basically useless since I can't touch quick settings and notification bar. Original review: I bought this phone as soon as prices dropped. Things I like: - It's small enough to fit in pockets and purses. - Front (selfie) camera is higher quality than any android I've used. - Can use cover screen as a selfie mirror when taking photos with back camera. - On the cover screen I can easily read weather info, control music, and turn off upcoming alarms. - Can multi-task with split screen or pop-up screen. - Locked screen shows charging time. - Control panel shows battery % of Bluetooth devices. - Can automatically turn off phone to keep things running smoothly. Things I dislike: - Battery life isn't long. - Doesn't have a headphone jack. - Phone is slim and long. Hard to press things at the top. - Camera is very warm toned and saturated. - A lot of gaming apps haven't adapted to this screen ratio yet. - Cover screen can display the full SMS or IG message for two seconds when they're received, but once I try to toggle to the notifications slide, the message is kept private. - Fingerprint reader is too sensitive.

This review is for the phone as well as the process of buying a Renewed item through Amazon. I purchased this phone because I could not find a phone that isn't massive but that still had the features and performance I require for daily use, so I decided to try this renewed Flip 4. The 90 day return policy and the great price convinced me to try it out. Not sure if I can name the seller in the review but I basically selected the phone in the best condition from the highest-rated seller fulfilled by Amazon. The phone arrived in blank packaging with a charging cable. It looks like there is a screen protector installed, plus there was a plastic film on top of the screen for packaging. It came half charged. The phone itself looks brand new. No detectable blemishes or signs of use. Hinge is nice and solid. Full charge was very fast (with fast charger). Setup fairly easy with Samsung transfer app but I am still missing a few passwords and accounts. I can manually add those later. There is a lot of bloatware from Samsung, plus carrier junk apps. (I think this is carrier unlocked- when I put my SIM it, it applied my carrier settings and apps.) Battery life (as expected-lots of info on this) is not great. I knew that going in. I am tracking battery usage throughout the day with different levels of use- screen open and closed, dormant or playing videos - and it seems as though this particular device doesn't deplete battery any more than would be typical for a phone this age. I suspect this particular phone was very gently used to begin with. Example: battery depleted about 10-15% overnight with no use, not plugged in. With heavier usage the battery use goes up to about 10% per hour. Not sure if there's anything I can adjust/disable to make this more efficient. My old phone would give me 1.5 to 2 days of a charge with regular use so this will be an adjustment. The screen is beautiful and easy to see. Samsung is an upgrade overall for me and I am pleased with how smooth it runs. Nice on-screen keyboard, etc. I am not tech savvy so there are probably too many customization options for me personally. I really just want a phone that works well for calls, that I can text on and use internet and maps periodically. This should do the job just fine. No SD storage and no headphone jack. I guess that's becoming customary. The device doesn't seem flimsy at all. That being said, I would get a case ASAP in the event of inadvertent drops - it happens. Signal and connection seem good, as does speaker quality. The fingerprint sensor is on the side near the volume buttons. Not sure I am crazy about this placement and it never registers the first time for me, but I think that's probably a user (me) problem. Overall I had a very good experience buying Renewed. Anyone who is interested in trying a flip smartphone, this is very economical option without a major commitment. I will update my review accordingly if, within 90 days, anything goes haywire on the device.

Update: lasted 14 months and then top half of screen stopped respondong to touch and black mark appeared in the crease of the left corner. Time to buy a new phone. This was RARELY folding the phone. So if you plan to fold it a lot i dont think it will last very long. I've had it for about a year now and it's still going strong. I read that people had issues with it cracking over time where it folds but I stopped folding it unless necessary like using as a flashlight to read at night or any other rare occasion I need to fold it. It's still worth having a folding phone because of those instances when a normal phone wouldn't work well. But yea I can't attest to if it cracks over time due to the fact I don't fold it often. There are tiny plastic pieces sort of popping up on each side where it folds though,its not bothersome at all and doesnt affect the functionality of it though. I also don't use a screen protector and have dropped it many times and it hasn't been damaged. I do use a phone case though so I'm sure that helped. I recently got one stuck pixel which is annoying but other than that its pretty much the same as it was when I got it a year ago so its holding up we'll. I would recommend this phone.

bought a phone from this company TWICE. The first one wouldnt stay powered on and the second the mic wasnt working lucky enough. I was lucky enough to get it replaced but the second one was too close to the persons bitrhday so i wasnt able to inspect it fully the phone powered on and worked fine. it when i called the person when they were at the airport did we realize the phone mic was not working. 2 times i was sold a defective phone from this company and they have no remorse for selling crappy half done not properly fixed devices. This is a good phone. Biut hard to repair. I shouldnt have to buy a phone just to have to pay more money for someone to fix something that shouldve have already come in good condition. Absolutely dissppointed and annoyed - then have the nerve to offer 5% partial refund for a device they sold that doesnt even F****** work

Love this phone Performance is good and the fold is cool But you do have a deadline on this phone with numerous issues with the screen thats well documented Mine started with hinge issues at about year in Closing the screen would instantly power off the phone, so the whole gimmick of it folding just didnt work after awhile, leaving me with a candy bar phone with a plastic screen i lived with it as the phone still functioned with equivalent performance to a S22 But at about the 14 month mark, i started getting a screen issue My screen would just refuse to turn on sometimes or would turn on to a yellow screen indicating a ribbon cable issue Now with my folding issue i assumed "okay i cant fold it so i just banged it the wrong way finally" but no the yellow screen or non responsive screen issue is very common on the flip 3 and 4s and relates to bad magnet sensors, driver issues, and ribbon degradation issues I dealt with it for a few more months since the issue began until my screen just finally gave out and replaced the phone Great phone but you are on a deadline
