The Folding Phone Impressions!

Which color did you get?
I went with the blue.
I was tempted; especially after watching Floss, damn him. With the incentives I would have been paying less than 800 bucks but I had the Fold 4 I think and I had to exchange it twice - with all the attendant bullshit Samsung puts you through.
The Folds I had one screen lost tactile and the second developed a black line/bubble under the fold and I didn't unfold it much at all.
Apparently they've corrected all that but I don't need the big screen now.
That said, I dislike the absence of an integrated s-pen. I think I'll stick to my Ultras but damn that new tech always looks so sexy.

Yeah I'll miss the pen. I bet they bring it back with the next one. Or release another version of the current one with it.
Floss can sell ice to Eskimos. Everytime I visit his channel he costs me money. He's supposed to do the Snyder cut for the flip 7 sometime on Monday.
I don't have the fold but I have the flip 7 and I think the screen will last longer than previous models. When it folds it doesn't have the sharper v angle the old flip does. It's more of a U shape so there is less stress where it bends. When I first looked at the phone it seemed completely flat. I have to consciously look for the crease to find it. It's lovely.
Possible s pen work around.You have to watch it on YT. I saw comments that either the s fold 7 case by either ninki or nillkin comes with a stylus that works. You don't get all the features of course, but it lets you write on the screen again.
Yeah Floss will have me hemorrhaging money if I don't put a few days between watching and buying. But I'm a cat person so I love to see White Shoes.
Anyway I forgot to mention that when the phone folds people tend to think "screen" but the wires inside also have to fold/bend. I think that's where the issues with my first one were. I'm guessing they figured that out. Dunno. But it remains I don't need it and I have to stick to that. I just love that new car smell.
The case, or one of the cases I had that Samsung actually sent me had a slot for the pen. I didn't bother to get or use the pen tho. The case made the phone too bulky.
Love it. I mean everything is just an improvement over the fold 5. The only thing I dislike is the slower charging. The biggest feature used by me over the years is the baked in animate gif maker of anything screen. Samsung changed that from a 15 second recorder to 30 seconds but damn web image hosts don't allow the larger uploads. Both of these screens are amazing. Loving the fold 7.
Yeah, I use that gif feature a lot. You can resize them with YouCut

I got to see the Fold 7 in person the other day and immediately fell in love. I had a Fold 4 but the screen cracked on it and ended up getting a S23 Ultra as the replacement while waiting for the warranty replacement. I got so used to the S23 that I didn't use the replacement Fold so now I'm gonna use that as a trade-in unless I can find someone willing to buy a brand new Fold 4 for more than the $800 Samsung is offering as trade-in value.
