Phones Folding phones the next frontier

The eagle has landed!

During checkout I initially selected "no signature required" because I planned to be home, but then plans changed and I had to leave the house and didn't get back till just a moment ago. Fortunately the TriFold only spent 10 minutes on the porch. Our porch is semi enclosed so a lot of times you can't tell we have a delivery, but I've read of many other package thefts around the surrounding neighborhoods. Anyways, Samsung sure packaged the TriFold securely, wrapping about 10 feet of tissue and paper for protection.

I have to leave soon to pickup our daughter from school and will have to come back later to set this sucker up. I still don't see the point in the box being so oversized.

TriFold supposedly still arriving today. It is on the UPS truck now but delivery window shifted later several hours to between 1pm-4pm PST.

Lately deliveries have been affected in some parts of the US due to weather. There is a banner add across the shipping tracking site saying so.

Maybe too early to say, but I don't anticipate needing to use the 45W charger. I have car chargers for daytime use, if needed, then I like to plug all of my past phones into an old 5W/1A plug for slow gentle overnight charging. I started doing this after major battery degradation on an iPhone 12 Pro Max that I attribute to frequent wireless charging and fast charging.

I still dont see the reason for the ginormous box. All of the contents could've fit into the TriFold accessory box (Fold 6 box for comparison).

Apparently my wife disagrees with my box criticism and says the big box does look nicer for the fancy-looking TriFold. 🙃

Definitely the first phone that isn’t a iPhone that has peaked my interest.

Wow, that's crazy. You think maybe those people that reserved slots in-store last week came in and made good on their reservation?

I also noticed my TriFold shipped from Ontario, CA, which is within an hour of both California Samsung Experience stores. I wonder if online orders are being fulfilled from in-store stock.

I kinda wonder if in store associates have the ability to cancel orders or tell corporate they don’t have any unreserved inventory because they probably don’t get commission for online sales. Total speculation on my part but makes sense.
