Concern on z flip 6 before I buy

[KataraKai]

I plan to buy z flip 6, 1st time planning to buy a flip phone, but I have concerns.

1. Does flip 6 inner screen come with pre-installed screen protector? Do I need to install any screen protector again? If installed, will it damage the screen?

2. Does the phone last longer because concern on the hinge open and close could cause loose?

3. Does the screen is LTPO screen (inner and cover screen)?

1. Yes the inner display already have multiple layers of protection so no need put any sort of screen protectors. It is not recommended.

2. Don't worry it can survive up to 500k times Im pretty sure you won't get to that numbers in 3 years at least.

3. The inner screen is indeed LTPO display but not for the cover screen as its still 60hz refresh rate but I bet you won't even notice

Don't buy flip series, the maintenance fees of flip is high, no matter is the fees of changing screen protector or it screen, my flip 4 under warranty but SCS claims that is physical damage not covered. So I had paid RM800+ to fix it after arguments with them.
Phone itself is fragile, SCS is difficult to dealing as well. They are the king.

The screen protector is easily to spoil? Not like normal screen protector, spoil then change it?

Yes, I seldom flip my phone, but within 1 yr my screen protector ald bubbled. Samsung will give 3 free Screen protector replacement, but the worst part is, everytime user hv to make appointment and wait for a week to get replacement. Is a hassle process, if using normal phone user normally don't hv to go thru these

After finish used up all screen protector, it cost RM85-120 (if not mistaken) per replacement.

Oh ya, I experienced make appointment at 1u CS, they said they will call me after 1 week, but ended up no one calls, so I hv to go to pavilion CS to make another appointment and wait for the stock, the second chance replacement took me almost 3 weeks to get screen protector replaced.

So the screen protector free 3 times even after warranty?

Yes, it depends on the voucher validity date, not by warranty
