Likewise this is the longest i have kept a non iphone as i like the fold that much. Just like no other device which is why i think it’s so good. Granted it won’t be my daily driver as when pro max is out but will i still use it as much even with an iphone? Yeah for sure as it works for so many other things.
I’ve always used my Android phone equally if not more than my iPhone ...it’s just how I’m used to rolling daily now for the longest ...it’s funny I was worried about this device carrying it around and my daily interactions out and about ..hasn’t skipped a beat ..
OK I'm sure you guys would be happy to know I'm finally NAKED, well the phone is at least. The front screen protector started to bubble and peel so I said F it and tore off the front and inner screen protectors. The 2 are definitely different, the inner screen protector feels like PET, it's rubbery and slightly flexible. The outer screen protector feels like plastic, not flexible at all and much smoother and frictionless, it's pretty much like any protector most phones come with out of the box that we tear off right away.
So far the inner screen doesn't seem that much different, I still feel somewhat the same "drag"/friction sliding my finger across it because I'm still not really contacting the "glass", rather I'm still on the secondary skin over the glass. Fingerprints, while not solved, seem to be much better. We'll see how it holds up, but between the $149 screen replacement and having Samsung Care+ I should be ok.

Haha thanks for cleaning up fast... I'm still holding strong... I've heard a few say inside without protection is buttery and others not so... Hmmm I will see myself some day...
Yeah like I said the inner screen doesn't really feel that much different, it's smoother but only marginally so. It still doesn't truly feel like glass IMO. It's still an improvement, colors are more vibrant and most importantly fingerprints are reduced somewhat.
I take your word for it ...less fingerprints are probably best reason for me ...I’m don’t expect glass like the front for sure haha
Just got my aramid case from Samsung, holy cow this case is really nice. Very thin, one of the thinnest cases I've ever used. The stand is quite useful and much sturdier than I anticipated. It also snaps on, so no need to permanently stick it on like other Fold 2 cases. Anyway don't mean to sound like a commercial but it's a really nice case.
Awesome news happy you lovin it..
I'm waiting on some reviews to come back.. One has kickstand and one without..
Yeah got mine on now works well for sure and the stand as long as its stood correctly is agood viewing angle
Anybody else able to view YouTube full screen? Some on reddit saying they can't? Yeah it's maybe zoomed in too much but I think it works well
I've not found the perfect combination just like Instagram.. I know plenty are using Newpipe for full screen YouTube
I don't use Instagram everyday but with good lock I think it works fine. Granted images are huge but I don't think it's a bad thing..
Yeah it's okay.. You lose comments on stories and I find myself going back to normal for quicker views
Back before I was paying for Youtube Premium, I went with 3rd party apps. Well now, I'm alright with Youtube.. for the most part. I know of NewPipe and Vanced though... I browse through XDA Developers for apps.
YT premium here too ..it’s good enough for my daily and I try not adding extra apps if possible ...
I have to give Samsung credit.. just received a free AKG pair of headphones. I had requested it, I believe on the 27th... and received it today. It took them a week.
I said the same until I wiped down the screens with a lens cloth.
That seemed to remove leftover gummy stuff for me, so the screens felt better, and continued to feel better as they got rewiped.

With all these One UI 3.0 beta being released for the Note 20 and S20 series, has gotten me a bit jealous. Been trying to estimate when Fold2 owners will receive news. I’m still on August security patch. I’m starting to be concern will Samsung wait close to the launch of Z Fold 3 to issue a One UI 3.0 update.
Question for original Fold owners... do Samsung even had a beta program for that model? Because if they didn’t, we won’t get much news regarding One UI 3.0..

I just asked this same question in a Facebook group. Doesn't look like there is a beta program ?
Well, that’s disappointing. I feel Note 10 and S10 users will receive a beta program for One UI 3.0... I don’t understand it. One would think Samsung will put more resources into the Fold... since apparently this is their new flagship going forward.
I mean, I get it... the adoption rate isn’t high and there’s so many Note and S owners. But my guess is Samsung will ship with One UI 3.1 for S30/S21 model. But will that then prolong Fold2 owners from a update... we will not get One UI 3.0, but One UI 3.1.
I’m more interested in the notifications panel... it’s supposed to be smarter. And although Samsung has Pop-Up/Bubble feature, supposedly it’s been improved. I use NPlayer for video.. and it uses its own PiP, so I can resize however I want. And with YT, I find myself more interesting in listening to what they have to say versus watching it.
