Yeah.. that's the only negative. Well, besides water resistance. But I gotta feeling that if Samsung added more Camera specs to the Fold.. the higher the price tag would of been.
Yeah most likely, still if the rumours of 2022 this will be their main flagship then they will have to add it sooner or later

I don't play games but should I go for this promo?

I don’t think I’m going to pay the monthly price of $9.99 for the service. What intrigued me is ChromeCast Ultra, that’s what I want. I even encouraged my lady to do the deal as well... she’s getting the bundle too.

After all this time... we finally have news. Turns out One UI 3.0 beta for Galaxy Z Fold 2 will be coming soon.

And, there’s another article detailing that Note 10+ user received it. But bare in mind, US users have to wait... Korea gets first impressions.

I don’t know. I think I read somewhere that Samsung had put more thought into how it approached One UI 3.0 with the Fold. That’s why we didn’t get it around the time of the Note 20/20 Ultra.

I received it as well. Was kinda hoping they added the subscriptions list up at the top like the phones. But then again, that’s just me asking for the sake of just seeing something new. Because there isn’t much new.

Yeah i would rather notifications be on the bottom lol but it’s ok overall. Guess will show you more what you may like better and yes working from home my fold 2 is just watching YouTube all day on my desk ha Love this samsung official case stand for that. Works really well.

I have no interest in the gaming. I just wanted the free chrome cast ultras. I got my husband to claim as I subscribe to Youtube premium family. My husband also got 3 months free of stadia so I may try it but i won’t say no to two free chromecast ultras.

Well, I'm back. Friend of mine that got his Fold 2 at launch bought the new iphone and is sticking with iOS. He's going to sell me his Fold 2 at a price I can't pass up. I told him he can get way more if he sells on Swappa or somewhere like that, he doesn't want the hassle. So I'll be taking it off him this weekend.

I know I've asked this before, but is anyone else using this as their primary daily driver? If so, how's it going?

Congrats on the upcoming transaction. But yeah.. I don't use no other phone... except the Fold2. I haven't had any complaints... I've had the same view as when first setting my eyes on it. It's one of those devices... I enjoy using it, similar to my iPad.

I've grown more accustomed with multitasking on it, getting more familiar with how I approach certain tasks. FP scanner is solid, camera... solid. Battery, solid. Screen is a beaut. Perhaps, my only issue is awaiting updates. Still on August Security Patch. But other than that... it's been a piece a cake. Still awaiting a case for it. However, I'm actually in favor of sleeves.. seen sleeves for 6" inch devices. I might end up going that route.

Every since the iPhone X... I like the feel of the device, IMO... my thoughts is why cover up a premium industrial design when I'm sure the engineers behind it.. enjoyed the process of creating it. Granted, it's expensive.. it should be protected. But I'm very mindful of my devices. Especially when having history with drops or scratches on a screen. Always, be sure to know where the phone is at all times when getting out the car. Always be sure to know what's in clothes pocket before putting the phone inside it. Addition to that, make sure it's not able to fall out.

Nice... Awesome to hear you coming aboard... I carry daily with my IPhone... Just like my Note or others.. I'm careful with my phones never go in pockets with other stuff...and good advice on check where it's at when you leave car or truck.. Only difference I have a pouch for when I have no pockets which is almost never.. And if winter coming bad days I can slide in on the go...

Fold 2 is my daily well will be until my 12 pro max arrives which will be my main sim. That said fold 2 will be with me pretty much the same amount of time so i think i will still use it at a similar rate. Got a separate sim for the fold as well.

Think for my android device go to foldables from samsung is the route i go with going forward. To experience the android world to go with iOS for me foldables is the best option. No device like it out there.
