Damn, that's disappointing. I would have guessed there would have been more issues with the hinge instead of the screen. But it makes sense tho

I scoffed at the naysayers that said the fold hinge would develop issues over time... But they were right. Last week I noticed that it wasn't opening fully. Maybe 95%. Then l noticed a string-like piece of plastic coming from the hinge. I pulled it out thinking it would solve the problem but it didn't. Contacted Samsung and they said to take it to ubreak i fix. I honestly don't want to deal with them taking my phone apart, even though it's supposed to fix it. I wish they'd do a mass recall so l can switch to an s23. I just see this being a recurring issue and l see several people online are dealing with the same issue.

Damn that sucks to hear. Seems that we still have to wait for the flexible screen/hinge tech to mature some more.

Man I just finessed getting my s21 ultra screen replaced.
I bought a s23 Ultra at launch but I can't tell the difference side by side.

Yeah I used the s21 ultra for a few days and I actually like the form factor over the s23 ultra but the battery life is damn near half.
Off to swappa it goes.

Yea the battery life on my S21 Ultra has gone down a lot since I bought it. I've been thinking about upgrading to the S23U because of battery life and more storage..

Samsung giving $550 as a trade in for the s21 ultra towards the s23 ultra

S20 is still going strong. I stopped updating it last year cuz I felt the updates would slow it down and decrease battery life.

EU: Smartphones Must Have User-Replaceable Batteries by 2027
The European Parliament just caused a major headache for smartphone and tablet manufacturers.
EU: Smartphones Must Have User-Replaceable Batteries by 2027
The European Parliament just caused a major headache for smartphone and tablet manufacturers.
For "portable batteries" used in devices such as smartphones, tablets, and cameras, consumers must be able to "easily remove and replace them." This will require a drastic design rethink by manufacturers, as most phone and tablet makers currently seal the battery away and require specialist tools and knowledge to access and replace them safely.

Good! I hated when they started making phones with non-removable batteries.EU: Smartphones Must Have User-Replaceable Batteries by 2027

Having a phone with a removable battery was an absolute must for me back in the day, but is there still a need for that now with better battery life and fast charging?

I think the battery issue has been solved in terms of cell phones.

Don't miss the headphone jack. USB c headphones work just like the headphone jack.
