Hey, I did hear rumors about a slide phone but I don't think that's going to be for Fold 4... But I'm thinking s pen on board for the next phone.. I'm not sure if they're going to increase the width of the outside screen
We hope we get most of those improvements in one way or the other
I've always been interested in that slide out. Okay time to start getting my money together lol
Hopefully you're feeling a lot better my friend. And congrats! The phone looks awesome! Hope you enjoy it
I'm gonna keep my ZF3 and hold off for that Pixel foldable if it ever comes. Shouldn't have put my sim back in this Pixel. Something about that Pixel experience I just love.
Note 10+ was a great phone ...truly enjoyed that one..I had that snazzy blue one
Tempted but Google and first time foldable with them scares me lol
. Although that would be great experience...
so this means Apple's "pill" this year against all these Samsung flagship options including the roll up
even if one is an Apple "die hard" if you have the resources, a secondary Samsung device is just a "nice to have"

Samsung’s upcoming foldable lineup may not have a mystery third phone after all
If it does, which way will it fold?
11 tips, tricks, and apps to get the most out of Samsung's S Pen on the Galaxy S22 Ultra
It's more than just a stylus
There's been a few posted in here as well as the photo thread stickied at the top of this forum. I'm not a huge fan of Android central but you will find quite a few more pics there. I'll try to post up some more this weekend if I get a chance
Yes they are some really good photos some with the ultra on that other thread... We have a nice one going over at Android Central with some good pics, but I don't see one specific to the ultra over here..
Has anyone gone to the S22+ from the iPhone 13 PM? I've seen a ton about the Ultra and almost nothing on the Plus.
I've reserved an unlocked S22+ 256gb black at Best Buy awaiting pick up. I've been using the 13 PM since launch last year and have the itch to go back to an Android phone. The issues I foresee are video and image sharing with my family, and FaceTime. My wife and I use WeChat so she's fine. It'll be a pain sending everyone Google links to view any full quality videos or images I share, but that won't happen too often. Not to mention iCloud album sharing. I'm tired of being held hostage by Apple and my entire family using iPhones, I miss a lot about Android!
The major issue on my conscience is FaceTime. My mom passed about 6 months ago and my aunt lives in another state. We were able to FaceTime with her and my immediate family in the hospital room until she went, which was invaluable. I can't see myself telling my aunt, "can you send me a FaceTime invite / download Google Duo..." . I don't foresee any urgent situation ever coming up like that again, but it is on my mind if I make the switch.
How have people's experiences been with using FaceTime via weblink on Android?
Last Android I had was the S20+ which was great.

Pretty much sums up the current state of the tech. I'm in the U.S. so even if the EU does pass something, if ever considering what's going on now, we're still stuck on abortion and pronouns over here...I digress...Messaging interoperability would be a nightmare and a dream 9to5Mac

I *may" buy a cheapo old MBA and try AirMessage once and for all, but don't think that'll be reliable.
I did at the start and compared quite a few with my 13 pro max. overall been very happy with the camera. for stills I don't think it can be touched. where I tend to pick my iPhone up is pics of my 6 month old son as the shutter speed is so fast it always seems to catch the moment.
I've gone over to Android phones a few times and I always run into issues like this. There will always be someone among friends and family who can only be reached via FaceTime, Apple Messages etc, it's just how it is. So I decided I will never attempt to fully migrate to Android again. It's just not worth all the hassle. Instead if I do get another Android device at this point, I'll just have a separate simcard for it, and keep at least one mobile Apple device alongside it.
I'm currently testing my old iPhone 7 Plus and it actually runs fantastic. My 12 Pro Max has turned out to be too clumsy for me to use as an everyday phone for every task. My ideal setup would be my 7 Plus alongside an 8" OLED Android tablet, but sadly those don't exist right now (the Fold is not an option due to price and the 8" not being widescreen). I'm looking into the iPad Mini but I don't love the screen.
Alas, I digress. Point of my post was that migrating fully to Android is such a pain in the ass that I'll always keep at least one mobile Apple device on its own sim.
Condolences on the passing of your mom. I agree, FaceTime can definitely be an invaluable service. I pretty much keep my iPad just for Facetime use. As for iMessage for sharing media I've pretty much weaned myself off of it. I have created shared albums in Google Photos and Dropbox and upload files I want to share with my family that they can easily access. Anybody who the folders aren't shared with, it is a little more challenging as you have to wait for the file to upload to either service. It really is only an issue with larger videos. But once they upload its just as easy to share. When I'm using my S22 Ultra Samsung has a link share option that works great and I use it from time to time. And as much as I hate Facebook, there is always the option to share through FB Messenger and this actually works pretty great.
Now that it looks like Google and Samsung have decided to take messaging seriously, messaging on Android with RCS actually works pretty dang great. I'm going to work on migrating my family over to Android as they come due for new devices. Parents and one of my kids are already over here with me. Wife and middle school aged daughters are going to be the tougher ones ?
