When she asked if you needed help, you should have asked her where the checkout counter was.
I have a feeling Apple will probably be a disappointment on their first foldable too. Considering they're software is so buggy as it is already, this is going to be a mess. I'll stay comfortable in my Samsung world because it's the most stable software in America at least.
Yeah I really think durability issues are overblown. Unless you're diving in sand with your phone caseless, it's really not an issue. Get phone insurance and if gosh for bed something happens, then file a claim.
If you look at DXOMARK camera scoring The Fold 7 is on par with your IP15 and just above your S24
I'll do some more research, I've never looked at DXOMARK.If you look at DXOMARK camera scoring The Fold 7 is on par with your IP15 and just above your S24
The plastic inner screen protector that's factory fitted and protects the "Foldable Glass" is replaceable and those with Samsung insurance get it at a reduce price or free in some instances.
The dust ingress of particles less than 1mm is only related to the hinge area only, not the rest of the phone that is watertight. So unless you are literally shovelling in grit like Jerry Rig, its overblown IMO
I would guess if you only used the Fold 7 outer screen and did not multitask it would give your IP15 a good run for your money on battery endurance, as this would be more like for like
Given the price you can get the F7 with your dads discounts etc is probably less than its trade-in value next year, so makes it very attractive
You have tried Pixels before and there is no significant change to the OS that would overcome your previous objections
Stop dithering and trade in your S24
The inner "Screen protector" can be removed very carefully by yourself, but best not too, but only fitted by Samsung.
I prefer doing the every other year approach.. because each year doesn't show any meaningful changes. And the times I did upgrade... Samsung offered 1k for both the Fold 2 and Fold 4, but this year Samsung brought the trade in values down.
i think it will be a success as quite simply they have had years to develop this foldable and one thing you can depend on apple for is app quality and optimisation. i know IOS 27 they are supposed to be changing the software so it will support for bigger display. i know 26.1 is said to be fixing the bugs that people are having. apps will work great and really thats the most important area for a foldable for me. That and aspect ratio which apple is said to be nailing with a better aspect ratio. both areas where foldables currently are the main question marks with.
We'll see for sure. I think the biggewt issue with the iFold is that it will run iOS, unless they have some cool software that takes advantage of the screen. For me, stable software (OneUI) that just works beats aspect ratio any day.
If it runs and takes advantage of the bigger screen like ipadOS does then that's going to be ideal. I'm sure they will have flex mode like others do as well.
Even though I was never really a huge s pen user, I'll take it! Make signing documents a little easier.
Since you never had the chance to use the S-Pen on a larger display… perhaps, you find it more useful compared to using it on the slab phone.
im sure samsung will do more now apple are coming to market. could be the best thing to happen to samsung.
