Lol. Like the Chinese government give a toss about your smartphone data. It's your own govt you need to worry about.

That’s cool. But the OnePlus Open outer screen will be much easier to type on.
The flip-side of this argument is a foldable's outer screen is merely to do the basics and glance all notifications on the go.
If one wants to do serious business then UNFOLD to tablet form as it is designed for.
They give a toss about everyone's data, you never know when it could come in handy.
As for my government - I live in Switzerland 🇨🇭. When it comes to living under a brutal dictatorship known for genocide and countless human rights abuses, it ain't it boss.
I work in security and take it from me that lots of companies - some who invest lots of money in security research - do not allow any Chinese phones on their corporate networks. For good reason.
Buy Apple or Samsung or Pixel or some other sane variant.
I think most people want to be able to type comfortably on their outer display without needing to unfold. And yes I know some people find the GF outer screen just fine for typing. But I feel most people find that keyboard cramped.
It feels to me that Samsung is stuck in 2015-2016 with their events
Got my Fold 5 512GB ordered. I can't wait 
It's good to see some of the trade-in values look okay... I like that they're offering $1,000 for the Pixel fold well done Samsung....
But I’m definitely picking up the Watch 6 Classic.. Samsung made the screen slightly larger. Seems kinda odd though… Watch 4 to 5 (46mm to 45mm) and Watch 5 to 6 (45mm to 47mm). But trade in for my Watch 4 Classic is $200.
Yup! I like having that bigger screen… if Google provided an option for a much larger Pixel Watch, I’ll definitely go for it. I’ll miss the rotating bezels on my Galaxy Watch… but I like how the OS looks on the Pixel Watch.
But I couldn’t do that 41mm on Pixel Watch, way too small for me.
Yep I agree it is way too small for that pixel watch... I actually just sold it... Debating if I want to add a Samsung watch since I'm always using my Apple Ultra
Oh no I'm loving my phone haha ... Samsung needs to change their form factor before I give them any cash on this foldable..
Really no need up upgrade from the 4 to 5. I compared to to my 4 and even with the $1K trade-in, still looking at $800+ tax.
I'm looking forward to the OnePlus Open in a month.

Agreed! I believe the Z Fold 5 is for those who have the Z Fold 3 or lower (maybe new foldable users, but I think new foldable users might gravitate toward the Pixel Fold).
I pre-ordered the Flip this time around, trading my S23U. Choose the Green Flip and picked the leather case for it. Will probably keep it naked most of the time, like I did with the Fold 2 and 3. This will be my first Flip.
I almost pulled the trigger on a Flip...they were going to give me $1000 for my S23U. That would make the Flip only $99...tempting. But I really love my S23U right now...
Ditto and a watch Classic 6Got my Fold 5 512GB ordered. I can't wait
