So around last month i got the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3. First unit recieved had a loose back cover. And the plastic covering the front screen is dirty. Thus im pretty sure it was 2nd hand but repacked and sold as new.
Complained to the seller and recieved a "new" unit. Only to find that the 2nd unit was missing the Bezel Stickers. Thus it was also a repack.
So a few days back i sold the Z Fold 3 and went back to my old iPhone 12 Pro Max and how glad that i went back.
Why? As far as i know its very easy to check if an iPhone is brand new or repacked. Just type the serial number and its enough. And iPhone uses screws to hold the front and back so i wouldn't have to worry about loose back covers...
In Indonesia there are many notorious sellers who sell 2nd hand phones as new. And the only brand which i can buy peacefully is Apple. Other than Apple its a hit and miss.
Not saying that the Z Fold 3 isnt a good phone, but for USD$1600 im pretty sure everyone wants a really brand new phone and not some repacked stuff.
