unfortunately these phones are expensive but any new technology usually is this is the 4th year of the fold so the fact thats it is expensive doesn't guarantee perfection within the product fortunately u had insurance...Samsung has drastically improved the fold ...i have the first gen fold from nearly 4 yrs ago which was by far the most flawed fold but its held up extremely well so in all fairness u may have just gotten a phone from a bad batch

Would never buy never buy another fold again .. I brought the $1700 ( But I paid $850 after trade in of my Note 20 ) zfold3 and 9 months later the inside screen died. I sent it back to Samsung and they told the inside screen was not something they warranty. They said it would cost $549 to repair. Luckily I ended up paying $250 because I had insurance.
