When it arrived....
The back glass on the lower half fell off after 3 days the hinge is miss aligned and the screen protector is missing.
I bought the excellent refurbished and I can tell you a repherb folding phone is probably not a good idea
THE SELLER HAS RASIED THE PRICE BY AROUND 60$
UPDATES
Dec17 hinge makes a nasty grinding sound now.
Dec31 the speaker on the lower half heats up the area of the phone so much I get worried it's gunna melt something I don't think I've ever come across this sort of thing before.
Feb12 phone is working the hinge has become looser the grind noise in the hinge sounds more like a wet fart grind then a bunch clicks kinda grind and is not as loud I kinda wonder if it's a break in thing or the hinge at time of testing was okayed to be used in the repherb....no scratches on device haven't dropped it yet screen is still as pristine as when I bought it if all is well in a month ill change my rating but keep in mind I treat my phone like a baby....better then a baby in sum ways.......weird that that's a thing but I got a screen protector on both screens a UAG case I hope my review is helpful to sum when making a choice if u do decide to go with a repherb remember is not as perfect as a new one but I think that just comes with the repheb folding phone territory but I garentee you this these phones are delicate so if u are prone to drops I don't recommend
March 9. Well this not an update about the quality of repherb I possess this is an update about the android 14 update......so where to begin......the screen will become unresponsive in sum very weird ways so what I've been experiencing in an app at this point its happened with most of them so no point in specifics is a situation where no touch input works apart from the back button and home button and the only way to solve it to quit the app and relaunch it......I bought new phone due to this issue I do not believe this is a reflection of the quality of the repherb I think this a is a problem a lot of Flip4s have after doing my research this is a common issue also the battery life after this update as been horrible I get about an hour 40 mins less screen time..........
If you get this phone do not update to Android 14 yet till they can get an update pushed not a security update for those who believe all updates are the same they are not there are 3 major types of updates Security, OS, and Stability you will want to wait for the Stability update on average a security update is around 200mbs an OS update is around 4gigs....most other file sizes will be a Stability update and after having said all that there is no garentee that will fix the problem
April 19 the glass on the top half popped off today as I took it out of my pocket as I did so the ribbon cable to the screen on the front ripped....these glass panels are not firmly attached to the device I have thrown this device away and moved on
