Should I keep my Z Flip 7 or should I Return it?
Hey everyone i don't usually post on reddit but I'm stuck between keeping my ZFLP7 or Returning it. This is kind of a rant but I just wanted other perspectives of opinions.
For context I used to have an S25+ as my main phone but I had my eye on the ZFLP7 since it's release and while it was on sale I got one, 512G which is the same storage i have on my S25+.
Before anyone says 'owning two phones is greedy' i was planning on giving my sister my S25+ as she is planning to move from Apple to Samsung.
Reason why I'm even considering on returning my ZFLP7 is because I'm worried about the long-term, I don't drop my phone and since having the phone I've mostly used the cover screen where I can to avoid opening the phone to much and I have a good case with hinge protection.
In regards to what worries me about the long term is how long the screen will last before it goes, the hinge (despite it being in a good case), and update's as ive seen on here some people are having issues with apps on the cover screen.
There's nothing wrong with my ZFLP7 and I do love how small and compact the phone is and how some jacket's and jeans are more comfortable to wear without a 'Slab' in my pocket, I like the sleek feel and overall how cute the phone is and how comfortable it is holding it when closed.
I do miss the camera of my S25+ but I knew the camera situation with the ZFLP7 camera prior to purchasing so I think i just miss the 30x zoom which i didn't use frequently but it was a nice feature.
Obviously there's no interference difference's as both phones are practically identical in that sense.
The crease doesn't bother me on the ZFLP7 and i hardly notice it but as mentioned previously it does worry me when and if it will give up even though I'm careful when using the phone unfolded.
I do miss having 'fun' cases but I think its just the novelty of buying different cases and not thinking too much of its protection for the phone.
I know the ZFLP7 has some cute protective cases but I'm not too keen on them which is a fault on my part I know.
The cover screen is nice but I know that it's basically what my S25+ does without the flip part because really the only difference is a home screen. The cover screen is basically a lock screen, notifications and apps. A mini phone i guess? I know what I mean 😅
All in all if I had to send the ZFLP7 and go back to my S25+ I dont think it would bother me to much, and worse comes to worse I could just wait for the S27+ next year if i wanted to and from the fake leaks and such I do like the colours that could be a possibility such as the dark red that's been floating around but even if that didn't happen I'd most likely get what's available or stay with my S25+ till the S28+ or something.
Also If i did return my ZFLP7 no my sis isn't without a phone, her iPhone 14 Pro still works she's just tired of Apple and wants to switch, and as for 'why can't your sister have the flip?' She doesn't like it at all.
