Is anyone else's phone freezing?? I have the z flip 4, purchased at the end of September and I am so frustrated that I'm having issues. My screen is freezing and my fingerprint scanner stops working as well. It takes forever for it to unfreeze and of course I can't restart.

It's been 3 days and it's random, my phone will freeze and I'll hold the power button to try to restart it and the screen will flicker

Yes, I'm having the same problem with screen freezing. My finger print scanner works though. It is very frustrating. Also, this "screen protector " that is on here is getting scratched up like crazy from my fingers. 3 month old phone looks worse than some I've used for years before.
