We purchased the Fold3, and Flip3 originally then wife upgraded to Flip 6. We are not tough on our phones are our previous phones were pristine, including my Galaxy Note 10+ I finally replaced after 5 years. Our phones have cases on them from the second they come out of the box.
Fold 3, internal ribbons failed causing bluetooth, Wifi and other random issues. Required the entire screen/frame replacement by Samsung... Out of pocket $700 in repairs. Apparently a common failure... Mine failed at 14 months... 2 months outside of warranty.
Flip 3, required 3 screen replacements in 4 years. 1 under warranty, 3 under insurance. Even though my wife is very careful with her phones. Issues always occured at the fold itself. Also of note, the official Samsung replacement displays were unreadable with polarized sunglasses on. We complained abou that to Samsung and they said tough cookie, that's how they are now.
Flip 6, so far has required 2 replacements/repairs... Digitizer stopped working entirely 2 months into her ownership, Samsung decided they would just replace the phone instead of repairing it and 2nd the screen just stopped turning on randomly one day.
We have now decided that we are done with folding phones until they figure out the issues. That being said when we were in line at the Samsung Authorized repair faiciliity there were 4 people in line with us... 3 out of those 4 had Flip 6s with failed digitizers. So by our anecdotal experience the foldables are getting worse instead of better reliability wise.
