Galaxy Fold 4 Poor Quality

[God_Hades]

Not even a year with the Fold 4, I have sent it for repair 3 times. 1 week after purchase, the firmware needs reinstallation, 4 months later, the motherboard needs replacement and last week, replaced both screens, battery and WiFi adaptor as inner display blank and WiFi disconnected. Samsung refused to replace a new unit. It is time and effort wasted to reinstall the apps and valuable pics or videos lost. Paid premium $$ for poor quality product

I can tell you that you are not alone. My friend's fold 4 also went inside factory for 3rd time already.
After the 3rd time, he sold it off and got other phone which is not folding type.

Just to share all tech reviews are more likely paid influencers rather than genuine reviewers. Do not reflect the true quality

What was the issue that caused it to go into factory 3 times?

I'm with Z series since Fold 2. Apart from the inner screen protector bubbling issue, all 3 devices served me well till the succession model launched.

Guess its a heng sway thing...

Had similar experience with my Fold 3. Quality with Sammy really not up to standard.
Wifi not working, external screen blackout. Then follow by internal screen later on.

For me, my main screen went kablooey a day or two after one year, fortunately I'd gotten 2nd year Care+ so replacement scree & repair was covered. Took effectively one day nah nia for repair. So far can't complain, my Fold 2 main screen bit the dirt after about 2 years IIRC.

So lucky you had the 2nd year care.

But no one complaining about fold 5. Looks like the quality has improved with the new hindge design.
