My 5 month old fold 3 screen has split directly where it folds and the screen no longer works, .apparently this is not covered by warranty  so basically I have a $2000 debt for something I can’t use or face a repair bill of $500…..apparently this is a known issue with the phone however some how I am at fault…..has anyone else been in the same position…I am absolutely disgusted with how this situation has been handled….

      Really???

      If this was a brand new device then Australian consumer law would protect you. Samsung must renew or replace.

      Check with your State Consumer Affairs - it may be covered by government warranty provisions (not fit for purpose) in spite of their denial. Read posts on this site, recent, for someone else's case. Take to TIO TIO will require evidence of consultation first). Think about guerilla action, take to Facebook but avoid defamation.
