Galaxy Z Fold7/Flip7

Spotify UI is great on the big screen
Click to expand...
Yeah, I like Spotify UI and it's the best tablet experience (Tidal comes close though). Apple haven't updated their Android tablet UI app in years!

Apple is still using the bottom navigation bar on Android tablet... when they need to adopt the modern column layout similar to how they have on the iPad. But it's still a BETTER experience than YT Music lol.

Think I've made the decision to buy the ZF7 and new GWU Blue and sell my 16PM and AWU2 on (again) 😂

I unfortunately took VR from Meta a week or so back; so had to send my 15" MBA and Fold 6 back... I miss the ZF6 more than anything else; absolutely loved the GWU - but the ZF6 was the phone I reached for first etc, even though it was my business mobile...

I'll use the ZF7 as dual SIM and life will be less cluttered :)

Think I'm going to wait closer to the 22nd here in the UK before I splurge though; already seen a few on eBay UK listed by sellers with very high feedback (pre-orders obviously) but hell of a lot cheaper than direct from Samsung or Amazon UK; I'll probably sort it then and order the watch via Amazon UK as I've got £150 vouchers to use

Already picked my cases 😂

I currently rotate my phone on YouTube music for a little improvement on the UI

Sweet! I was a little sad thinking about leaving YouTube music

Basically, you get an extra 20 minutes with the Fold 7.

I'm awaiting additional camera and battery test results, but at least Fold7 battery life doesn't appear to be worse.

I just hope we don't have to wait until July 25th for any NDAs to lift.

Nice I'm pairing with the Thinborne case
Click to expand...

The Thinborne case looks good; but they need to come across the Pond to the UK; takes a good while and a bit pricey to be honest. May have another look at them, but the Spigen Aramid case with their Magsafe ring adapter will do just fine for me. Worked perfectly on the ZF6 I had

Cases and screen protector ordered for the incoming Fold 7; I've gone for the Spigen Slim Armor Magsafe case; had them before and they're superb cases, full spine protection too:

Spigen screen protector also (so easy to fit): https://www.amazon.co.uk/Spigen-Glas-tR-Tempered-E...

And I've got the Aramid case too (will use this more when just at home etc): https://www.amazon.co.uk/Spigen-Aramaid-Compatible...

They should keep the Fold 7 nicely protected 👌

I wouldn't trade in my S25 Ultra either then pay them another grand for a folding phone.

I'm slightly disappointed, but then I started thinking about my most important things in the phone. Battery, camera, and screen. I'm sacrificing something in all three of those and paying an extra $1,000. Just didn't make sense practically. But, I think in the future it might happen because they've gotten a lot closer!

Battery and camera... I understand those two points. But not quite sure on the screen point... in what way(s) are you sacrificing the screen? Actually you gaining two screens and a much bigger one with the ZF7.

I should have clarified. I LOVE the anti glare screen. That's where I'd be sacrificing. Seems like a small detail but it has actually come in handy quite a bit.

Thanks! Since it was going to take two weeks for the phone to be delivered, I totally forgot to order a case and screen protector! I am not one of those brave individuals who will walk outside without either. Lol!

Yup that’s it. I took the upfront saving instead of rewards on previous order

Is the difference enough to cancel your Best Buy order? If it gets below $800 before preorder ends... that's when I'd really consider it, but I have S Pen Pro that's coming.

Not entirely sure if S Pen legit... since I misplaced my old one, that will factor in my decision as well.
