As an owner of a z flip 3, just be aware of short battery life. If u travel a lot or don't expect to charge everyday (sometimes twice as a heavy user) it will annoy you fast.
Otherwise, samsung offers good value/durability. But if I had to choose right this moment I'd go motorla razr plus
My z flip 3 is a day one model, it lived up well, no screendamage, few screen protector replacements and it hasn't been babied. I drop.my phone atleast once a week as i'm an iT engineer and use the flashlight a lot.
I love the fact its small in my pocket, fold in half so I can watch videos without stand or on its side it stays put. And the selfie cam.tripod is neat, and the fact I can direct the flashlight to where I need it is also why I love it.
Battery should be better, coverscreen is moderatly usefull but wondering if it was bigger if i'd use it more.
Overal, great phone if u know what u get. Otherwise slab phones are better for most.
I've had a Fold 3 and now a Fold 4. The 4s have much better and more efficient chips compared to the 3, and the 5s are better still. I think the battery story has improved quite a bit compared to the phone you have. You should consider upgrading to a 5 if you're in the US btw. With trade in it is almost free.
I've had a Flip 4 since launch, and the screen doesn't open all the way through. It wasn't used a lot, it mostly remained home on my desk mat and it just stopped opening all the way through. Sure, it could be that a piece of dirt might have got in, but please be aware of such cases. The country I'm in doesn't even have a lot of repair options.
