Apps are generally well optimised for slab phones. Not so for folding phones, the hardware might have advanced but apps still lag behind. It's slightly better than it was when I first got my Fold2 5 years ago. But there are apps that just stretch the width and you see less information on the screen compared to a normal phone.
Yea just the back half.
Ive been a Note/Ultraq user since the first Note, after my S22U I thought Id try the Fold 5 when it came out, kept it for a bunch of months then bought an S24U. My journey into foldables was short and sweet, as you said the form factor just doesnt work. Movies in tablet mode are roughtly the same size as a regular Ultra screen anyway and folded the screen is just too narrow and was tough going on my eyes reading forums without upping the fonts to cartoon like sizes which then throws off the formatting.
did you restore your phone using smart switch? There's been reports on reddit that it causes a drop in battery performance.
I restored my phone using that, battery is ok but not great. Unsure how that would cause battery drain?
From the comments I've seen, SmartSwitch transfers other things that don't play nicely with OneUI. I personally transferred my data/backup from Google so not entirely sure if it's true or not.
I haven't personally, as Samsung is being a pain and keeps asking for my address information.
Yes I had my clear case through. It's basic but the screen protector and applicator is the first one I have done and such a good system.
