I can sorta forgive no chargers in the box for smartphones, but no charger included for the tablet.. that's a horrible customer experience.

If Samsung go down this path... what's stopping them from not providing a charger for their Chromebooks or Galaxy Books.

I got a charger with my Tab S7 but I think it's BS they aren't giving Chargers now. I didn't get one with my Pixel 7 either so I'm using the one I got with my 4a.

Not sure why they think we don't need those. I've had some stop working and I won't buy their brand if I need to buy one.

I'm surprised by two major things now that I've finally used a Fold: A) the overall footprint and weight of the device is much more comfortable than I expected, and B) the unfolded inner screen NEVER feels ergonomically awkward to me.

I expected this to feel heavy and thick but the narrowness definitely helps with the dimensional feel of it.

Just got mine! In Exclusive Blue from the online store. I ordered back on August 2nd but only got it, I'm rocking the 14 Pro with AW Ultra and got the Fold 5 for my multi tasking and web nav stuff.

Gotta say I'm quite impressed by the weight difference between the 4 and the 5. I'll post some pictures during the day.

Can anyone recommend a strap or pop socket like widget that will stick on the Samsung slim pen case? Haven't had much luck with anything and looking for something that makes it a bit easier to hold one handed when opened (and doubles as a kickstand if possible).

Whoops sorry i have the Fold 5. I have the slim pen case and want a case that integrates the pen without adding too much bulk. So really just looking for something that will stick on the back of that case.

Samsung socket accessories only work with the Fold 5 slim case that's transparent, it came free with my F5, the slim case with spen does not have the universal socket attachment

You know, didn't think it would make that big of a difference, but the smaller bezels and polished metal accents on the watch 6 classic really make a difference, it looks so nice and better than my watch 4 classic.

I’m in o2 switch up in the UK and debating switching from 14 pro max to the flip 5. One it’s a lot cheaper per month and two I’ve not had an android since the s7 edge and looking to give it a try again. Obviously the flip part of the phone looks pretty good but to me it’s just something different rather than same old Apple.
I do have 2nd gen AirPods but o2 are doing the buds pro for £1 when getting the flip so that’s a good deal.
Benefit of being on switch up is I can always change if the phone isn’t what I expected.
But looking to change from Apple and see what else is out there.

Tell a lie I use the a12 for work but think that’s an old phone as it’s not great. Phone is slow and hopefully not indicative of the newer androids.
