If someone wants to use the Samsung Gear 360 camera, they will get a non-compatible message when they want to download the app from Google Play. There is a solution to this problem. You download the app to another phone, get the .apk file. You copy it to your Z Fold 2 phone, install it and it works.

She's extremely picky when it comes to displays. So this is a great review for the Fold 2.


Tempted to take mine off, but at 18:32 you can see it still gets a ton of fingerprints on it. I honestly don't mind the feel of the stock screen protector, it's just the fingerprints that are slowly but surely driving me mad.

Fingerprints was the driving force in me taking mine off. Just drove me mad every time i picked it up. Display looks so much better without it got to admit.

Ringke case just came in ..I like this one better than Spigen ...it feels sturdier and a little more squared off ..charging port is open to fit all cables..

I had to do a double take, I thought I seen two Fold2 on the 3rd photo. Where did you buy the Ringke case?

Just got my Galaxy Z Fold 2 yesterday. Wow..really loving this thing so far. I am waiting on my case to arrive, so being really careful with it. Question for those who have had it for a longer, how worried or careful do I have to be regarding dust..etc. I know it is more fragile of a device ..ie drops, handling screen..etc. But for putting in pocket..etc. How concerned are you all on dust getting into device..etc? thanks.

Hello Fold owners, have you received any updates? I'm still on August patch.
Still Aug for me.

Unlocked or carrier?

When I decided to get the Fold this was something that worried me. We've seen how bad done manufacturers and carriers are with updates and they can only get worse when you have a phone with a low adoption rate.

Umm.. I'm very careful with mine. I'm looking into keeping this for at least 2 years, I've had it for about 3 weeks... waiting to find a solution for a case. I'm not really too concern about dust, I just wanna avoid any drops or damages to the screen.. But right now, I make sure no keys or anything in my pocket before putting Fold2 inside.

Carrier, but got it from Best Buy. And your right! updates are going to be slow with this device primarily because of the low adoption rate... not as popular as the S and Note series. I'm disappointed Fold owners haven't been included in the One UI 3.0 beta.

I wish Samsung takes another page out of Apple's playbook... and not limit beta testing to one model, I believe at this point... Fold owners won't receive Android 11 until February or March.

My Fold V1 got regulars updates as do all Samsung phones over recent years but yes maybe some carriers are slow but unlocked versions no issues

Not concerned to be honest, I just use mine as I do with any other phone. I even took screen protectors off for a better experience.

It is a valid concern, I haven't seen an update either. But I noticed that while Samsung has gotten really good at updating the Note and S line almost on par with google pixels, the Flip and Fold lines tend to have a delay. My Flip would be 3-4 weeks later every month, and the Fold is looking similar so far.
