Z flip 4 warranty recommendations

[kimmyNoNaWaaa]

Hi all,

I just want to get an opinion from the community regarding Z flip 4 issue/warranty. I bought the item in Hong Kong last November 2022 and it has an overseas warranty. However sometime this week, the upper screen of the flip phone is not responsive anymore and the middle screen is all black. I consulted it to Samsung service center in the Philippines and the cost of the fix is almost 400 dollars or 18000 pesos. They said that my overseas warranty is not applicable in the Philippines. The cost is too big that you can buy a new A series Samsung or almost 30% of the new z flip 5.

Is there a way to lessened the cost? Is it really worthy to repair the item and pay at that cost. I was thinking that I should just sell the item but I am not sure if someone will buy it.

Any recommendations would really help in making my decisions.

Thank you.

Are they accepting issue phones for trade in? This is a good option as well if I plan to buy a new one.
