My thoughts exactly! Trade-in promos will be the deciding factor... I think Samsung is looking at the competition especially with Apple planning to jump into the foldable market.
Foldables are still extremely intriguing to me. Camera and battery continue to be the same reason why I don't upgrade. The Ultra camera is just so good. Price might also be a factor if the tariffs come into play. They are already super expensive and probably will get worse.
Of course, the cameras are not bad… it’s just when you know there’s better camera technology out there not be utilized on the Galaxy Fold. Then it leaves more to be desired in that area.
It’s the form factor that I find invaluable… yeah, battery and camera obviously are important factors of owning a smartphone. But when you can fold it place in your pocket…. Unfold it to get a tablet experience, that’s the essential selling point for me.
along with the rest of the refinements.
I can feel that my time is gradually coming for a first experience.
Then all the Apple users who said how niche and useless folding phones are.......will all of a sudden say how great they are.....
Tim Cook: "We introduce...the 1st ever phone that folds!"
I don't understand the amount of resentment we see in the Iphone chats about the IFold
Apple fans are a difficult lotI don't understand the amount of resentment we see in the Iphone chats about the IFold
It seems logical for Apple to produce one given a potential 10-20B$ revenue, its probably no more niche than some of the MAC Pro's or IPad models
So much negativity and diss-information its almost shameful
Yep like OLED, wireless charging
I remember comparing my Fold4 to a buddy's S24 Ultra and on wide-screen content it's a wash between the Fold4 inner screen in "portrait" orientation (where you simply unfold the phone) versus the S24 in landscape orientation.
I did that specific comparison because seems like I've seen it said somewhere that for video the larger slab phones have more viewing area than foldables but definitely not true.
Hmm, me thinks Samsung may have squeezed the S Pen into the body. The front display of the Fold7 is significantly taller and wider than the Fold6 in that photo. And the Fold7 seems just as wide as my Fold6 with case and S Pen on the hinge.
I don’t know, highly doubt we ever get a silo on a Galaxy Fold now (especially with the thinness of the device)… I never thought I would be correct about the idea that Samsung rather sell S-Pen separately (more profit), but now that makes sense. And we haven’t heard any rumors of the silo added to it, which we would have had by now.
Personally I would rather have a thinner device even if that meant no S-Pen. That goes for the S models as well.
I'm fine with the S-Pen cases that have a slot for the pen on the foldables but on the Ultra I'd like to keep the silo. Fold has far more space constraints than the Ultra does.
Something wrong with the unfolded images they look clipped and not as wide as they should be, given the height matches
