Now, I'm confused if I should wait for the Samsung tri-fold. Apparently it will be announced alongside the 7 and will be available to purchase in October. I'm going with $2,999 starting price.

Rumor is it is the Galaxy G. If you get the first version of this hardware, you will be OG.

Buy both?
Lol. Hell no. A possible $2,999 and $1,899 device? That's $5K. Even if Apple did that, I wouldn't buy two iPhones (Fold and Tri-Fold). I'm likely going with the GF7 just because I don't trust a first gen tri-fold.

I'm waiting on tri Fold. Thinking ZF7 and waiting on Apple when they release theirs might be only first gen I go
 
Least if they show tri fold can see the differences

Hinge will be same from sounds but crease will be better on fold 7
 
Finallllly Samsung gives us a bigger screen.

I’ll upgrade from my Pixel 9Pro Fold and buy the next foldable that has Qi2 including the magnets. I’m rooting for the Pixel but if Samsung gets there first, they’ll get my money.

I’d wait until both are out if you can since it’s only a one month difference. The current rumor of IP68 for the Pixel Fold vs IP48 for the Z Fold is making me lean Pixel.

I don’t see how Pixel Fold IP68 trumps the superior OneUI and better front/inner screen app compatibility on the Z Fold series. I used my Fold4 on the beaches of California and Cancun, and recorded the changing of the guard at Arlington National Cemetery in the pouring rain without issues. OS, software, and battery life on Pixel Fold isn't polished enough to get my attention, and IP68 doesn't change that.

Well, like anything else it's about preference. I generally don't like Samsung's software and find the aspect ratio of the outer screen on their Fold devices too tall and skinny.

I'll certainly be watching to see what changes with the upcoming Fold 7 though.
 
Can't believe 2 years have gone by so quickly. Since getting my Flip 5, I've decided to upgrade on a 2 year cycle these days. Phones are too good to upgrade on a yearly basis. In fact I would say upgrading every 3-4 years would totally be fine for the everyday user. That being said, I'll be grabbing another Flip when pre-orders open. Looking forward to the full cover screen with the smallest of bezels. I thought I'd be on a Fold by now, but I'm just enjoying the compact size of the Flip series too much. I usually almost get the white color, but this time, I think I'm going with coral red. I hope they also introduce new earbuds, as I will be ordering a pair with this purchase. Samsung almost always has discounts on accessories at every new phone release.

Well, I'm probably not upgrading, right now. But if they don't include s pen suppoprt, there's no way I'm upgrading.
I'm with you on that... if there's no S-Pen, I'm not upgrading. And the PandaPlash leaker is all over the place on whether it will include S-Pen support, but if you don’t plan upgrading now… when?

I'm not sure. My S25Ultra is great and my Fold 5 is still really good so we'll see. The Fold 7 though looks really appealing...
