    I had a fold three for almost 4 years and it was fantastic. And then upgraded to the fold six and had it for about a month open the screen on it and literally didn’t even close it and break it and drop it literally just picked it up opened it and it cracked in half I was so pissed. Going through the warranty process they could not get me a six or a seven so they sent me a check which unfortunately would raise my bill by over $100 because I no longer had a phone to trade in at this point so I finally just downgraded to a Samsung 24 plus and in about 6 months I’m going to trade this one back in to get the fold seven because I definitely don’t want to pay over $2,000 just out of pocket.

      Folding phones are so expensive that I consider it mandatory to have insurance. Samsung Care Plus, in Samsung’s case. I switched to a pixel pro fold so I could use Graphene and got whatever googles insurance plan is.

        You should only take insurance on things you can’t afford to replace (like your house, your car). If you can’t replace your phone from savings, you shouldn’t buy a high-end phone.
