Had fold 4 for a year. It was good. About 5 or 6 mo the in inner screen started bubbling near the fold. At the time I didn't realize it had a screen protector factory installed. I opened a warranty claim in which I had to take to local best buy geek squad for them to check it. Squad guy told me it's just the factory installed protector coming off. He could replace it under the warranty which would take 2 or 3 weeks because he had to order it, or I could just live without it. I went without and had him pull it off. I have several work related 2 factors things I need and really could go with out my device for 2 weeks. He said he'd have to hold o to it for the warranty claim. Sounded bunk to me, but I closed it and and was thereafter. Then had hinge issue where phone wouldn't open all the way. It was like a v. I ended up turning it in last last year on black Friday deal for the s23 ultra. Got 1200 off on promos and trade in. Had the s23 ultra till just this week. As I am typing this on the fold 6 right now. Got 1000 promo and othe promo to get this for about 600.

I like the larger "phablet" screen. I figure come next Nov when the deals come around again I can probably get a sweet deal again. Was hoping the 6 would be a little wider when folded. It's still pretty skinny, but it is thinner than the fold 4. Noticeably. I purchased the unlocked version and using on TMo. I've noticed no issues and appreciate the standard android boot up without the pink tmo flash during startup.
