After the download... attempted to download Play Store system update (currently on June), but it kept failing. Guess I'll come back to that later.

Are you gonna run the Fold 6 beta? I read OneUI 8 beta 4 broke S Pen on S25 Ultra. Hoping Fold 6 gets the stable version by end of September.

Well, I was planning on running it lol. But you making me nervous with this broke S-Pen support news... wasn't aware of that.

I was on the One UI 7 beta when it was released... which ran smoothly. I'm crossing my fingers Samsung add Side-by-Side editing, next week we find out. And based on One UI 7 beta schedule (released in March)... Samsung ran the program for a month then released the official version (in April), most likely could be by end of September.
 
Looks like the 512GB is back down to $902 after trade-in. Not as good as the second week of pre-order, but actually still better than the first 3-4 days of pre-order where it initially was $995.

Pre-orders set a new record, but starting to also read about a lot of returns as the try-out period expires for many folks. If ordering today, I can get a 512GB or 1TB by Aug. 8th. But I'm not doing that...at least not at current prices.

When the Pixel drops this month or even around the iPhone launch in September (or October)... that's when we will see some crazy discounts.

But as days go on... it's a long shot on whether I buy it, reluctant to give up on the S-Pen. And if Side-by-Side editing comes to the ZF6... that will certainly make me stay put.
 
For those of you that have used a Pixel a lot how do the AI features compare to Samsung? Basically Pixel 10 versus Fold 7. I briefly had the original Pixel Fold and returned it for a Fold 5 and at that time I felt the Samsung software was better but I know things have changed since then for both companies.
 
Finally here…

Edit. And Samsung added the new Side by Side Photo Assist for Galaxy AI... Like the new changes to the Gallery app, Files app.... Google Play Store app moved the bottom navigation bar to the side for tablet optimization. Initial impression of One UI 8 are good!
