I have a Galaxy Flip Z I got Thanksgiving 2022. Its going fine its just not charging well.
Is 3 years a long time to have a phone? I use it a lot. This is the second charger I've gotten and it seems to be ok. I just don't want to go to Verizon and be talked into another $1000 phone and $300 in other charges if its unecssary. |

They last as long as they do until they don’t.
I still use iPhone 8 and I think people are on the 15th. It works so I don’t think a need to change. If yours isn’t charging well though it might be a sign that it’s going bad. I think it’s a sign thst it’s going downhill |

MD, I vaguely remember reading if a phone is not holding its charge well the battery is going. Check and see if it is still under warranty.

It was the charger. I tried a different one made by Apple and its working just fine. Glad I tried it out before I got bamboozled into spending $1300. Now I only have to spend $20 or so for a new charger.

Yeah i buy chargers by the bunch, like 2 or 3 at a time. Since i leave my phone plugged in all the time at 80 pct, i tend to crook that end of the charger cord around my finger to prop it up and it shorts out.

I got my phone in 2018. It’s as good as new. I know it’s outdated but I have no issues with it
