    Have been using the flip 3 for a couple years.

    I love the small design. Is it a Gimmick? Yeah probably. Do I like that Gimmick? Absolutely. It would he difficult to go back to a big ass phone. Routinely carry it at work by the ring on the case. Removes my need for a watch since I can easily reply or answer when it’s closed, control media, etc.

    Love to see more unique smart phone options. The phones were too samey for too long. This budget option could help that innovation even more.

      I had to jump back to a standard phone after both my flip4 hinges died on me, it was hard but I’m pretty much used to it, haven’t tried to fold it in half in a week, so that’s good.

        Currently no issue with hinge screen. I open and close it very often.

        Have seen others have issue with an air gap/mark appearing so may have gotten a lucky one. Your experience may vary.

      Same here. I don’t understand why everyone in this thread is talking about cracks and creases after it was fixed in the generations following the first.

      I was looking at the bigger foldables and came to the reality I don’t need it. Ended up getting a RAZR+. I’ll never be able to go back to a full size phone now because of the size. I’ve just gotten used to using the outer screen and hope this size keeps getting better.
