I'm coming back friends.. decided to swing back to Sammy.. Pixel Fold will wait till next year ..
Wow… I’m shocked! What brought upon the change???

And I went back to do the preorders… got a better educational discount (from $40 to $120), the promotions and reserve discounts stayed the same. Samsung is so frustrating… why give us a countdown to order? When a day or two later... I’d get better savings smh.

And I’ve already been charged… going to contact them to see what I can do.

Edit… was about to contact them and the rep sent a request for a refund, have to wait a day or two to get any word on the situation.

Yeah crazy right I had to jump with all the extra discounts but you would think the initial day would be lowest price NOT..I figured I need a change till the next cycle ...and I'm keeping the Pixel 8 Pro till I see what they are doing with this year if not catch Google next one ...

is the Samsung store always this unreliable or is it an issue of the German store? I feel like it is just putting a phantasy date next to the product. For instance, I ordered the Fold 6 on Saturday and the Watch 7 on Monday. Both initially said delivery on the 18th, the following morning it switched to July 16th without anything actually being delivered, let alone shipped. Yesterday the Fold 6 was actually shipped (according to DHL) but the Samsung website still shows delivery expected (yesterday). My Watch 7 status changed to "delivery expected today" (as if) and no update besides "in progress" but I actually received a second DHL notification for delivery on Friday earlier. I assume it's the watch.

Reminds me of ordering things at Mediamarkt or Saturn (our equivalent of BestBuy). They always "lie" about the delivery dates.

Camera hardware has been downgraded as well likely due to wanting to make it thinner
Looking at the latest Pixel leaks... I'm pretty disappointed. I was expecting cameras similar to the rest of the Pro range, but not only are they not the same, but the ultra wide angle is worse, as well as the selfie cameras.

I'll wait until August 13th when it's unveiled, but right now I'm more on Samsung's side than Google's....

I could see you upgrading to the Pixel Pro 9 XL... the camera is going to be superb! No iPhone 16 Pro Max?

And Samsung emailed me processing my refund of $218... which I'm shocked, I was only looking for $80 lol. So, instead of paying $760 for it... I'm paying $558.

Thats my plan as well. With all the AI stuff pretty much coming to the 15PM I don't see a reason to jump to the 16. I'll trade in my P8P and grab a P9P most likely.

I was surprised by this Thai Add on Line App for Samsung Flip 6

Interesting ad. She barely uses the Flip 6, merely holds it while doing morning calisthenics. Maybe she's still figuring out the power button. Nice living space though.

What's the message here? Does Samsung expect women to view the Flip as an accessory, like a piece of jewelry? Buy it for decoration?

Guess the video intent is lost in translation LOL

Nice on the refund!

I'll be late in getting the Z Fold 6 personally ... funds just not liquid atm. Looking forward to seeing your take on the device and how you get on wit it

It's like she's having a date with the Z Flip 6, absolutely nothing about the device but fooling eith Flippin it lol wasted expense for a commercial to be honest but it appeals to the young ladies.

Yeah ultra wide sensor is smaller for some reason. Makes no sense

Same here but UPS status still says they don't have possession of the package yet so I'm not sure how mine will arrive tomorrow from Texas.
Yeah, I’m in the same situation. But I live in Texas and the facility they shipping from is in Coppell, TX… about a 26 mile drive away.

So, even if they didn’t have possession of it yesterday…. as long as UPS get it today, I can have it tomorrow.

Sure makes you wish we could just pick them up. I'd make the drive over from Rockwall right now. Thinking since I waited around and ordered yesterday mine will likely be sometime next week.
