Phones Folding phones the next frontier

Just watched all of Arun's (mrwhosetheboss) video. I was initially feeling my ZF7 is just fine and I don't need this. Now i'm getting pulled in pretty bad lol. Almost hope they skip a US release.

5600 should be fine with their optimisation

Hopefully so. Tri Fold is a little more than 1/3 extra total screen space (compared to Fold 6), with about 27% larger battery.

i will for sure try and put battery to the test when i get it.

How is it a better experience? If anything the needless bulk detracts from the experience because you think of all the great stuff that must be packaged with this state-of-the-art phone, but nope it's just a charger and a bunch of air. From a packaging and shipment perspective it's very inefficient.

Whats efficiency got to do with presentation

Some like a nice box others are happy with a $3k device in a vanilla envelope for various reasons ECO or otherwise

This device like the Pro 6 Fold released just for the Korean market (probably why there is a charger) is likely more aimed at that market and will please some, but obviously not you

I simply suggest Samsung opted for this presentation format more for their home market and nothing to do with your thoughts on battery endurance

Point taken. Efficiency in terms of shipping phones on planes or cargo ships. Apple was able to drastically reduce their shipping costs per iPhone when they slimmed the packaging and eliminated the charger (all in the name of the environment). You can also stock more devices on shelves with slimmer packaging -- then again, the Tri Fold will sell in much smaller volume so could be a moot point. Samsung assumes everyone wants or, more importantly, will NEED the 45W charger. Am really curious about the real-world battery life when the info is available.
