*** Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 5G Thread***

[Spit]

I pre-ordered on the 8th and just got a message to say my phone has been delayed until week commencing 2nd October!

 

[Spit]

Don't read too much into the message, it's their worst case scenario. My text message says delivery for 23rd but my status on the site says preparing for dispatch...unless it's takes a week to dispatch

Cheers man. Fingers crossed.

 

[Spit]

Sounds like Samsung's order system has gone crazy.

A mate who ordered after the event got a message to say his delivery was delayed until the 23rd. He's just got a DPD notification to say delivery tomorrow lol. His status still says ordered. Borked.

 

[Spit]

Well I have had a despatch email.

 

[Spit]

Wow

 

[Spit]

What comic app is that?

 

[Spit]

I've had a DPD delivery notification for a delivery tomorrow but not Samsung despatch email. Confused!

I had the £50 voucher and free buds live email this afternoon.

Yes had mine since Saturday and it really is amazing. I actually like that they have sort of gimped the front screen with 60Hz as it's a great screen for checking things and replying to messages. Keeps battery life really good.

The battery life has been brilliant so far, I took my phone off charge and browsed the forum for an hour on the big screen and it went down 10%. That's good for me.

It's also extremely fast as you would expect. I am getting real work done and using GBoard on the big screen is great.

 

[Spit]

I have not noticed that, strange.

 

[Spit]

I'm careful with my phone's so maybe a DBrand skin is the way to go.

Thinking off upgrading from iPhone XR anybody think it would be worth it ? To be honest abit sick off apple to be honest.

That's a massive upgrade! Go for it, it's such an amazing experience having a phone that opens out into a tablet I can't see myself going back to a normal phone. You can read magazines on the go as well

 

[Spit]

Thanks for that ! Did you buy it out right or just a upgrade ?
Thanks

Outright from the Samsung website. I have had iPhones every year since the 3GS and upgraded to this from an 11 Pro Max. No regrets.

 

[Spit]

Use a broken phone for £150 off and also see if you can get a 10% voucher from the web.

I spent mine on the 15w wireless charging cradle.

How are you guys cleaning the inside screen? I'm keeping the screen protector on, I don't normally like them but this seems ok to me.

 

[Spit]

Well I've been on holiday with mine for a week now. Been on the beach sun bathing plus got caught in a torrential rain storm. I've really hammered it for all tasks including lots of photography which is one of my passions. I can't fault it so far, a thoroughly amazing phone and a great battery as well.

I was an iPhone user since the 3GS and left an 11 Pro Max, I then tried a OnePlus 8 Pro and a Note 20 Ultra. Both great phones but the battery on the Note Exynos was starting to annoy me. Got the Fold when I saw the discounts and so pleased with it so far. I use the outside screen for all those quick things you do on your phone but when you get chance to sit for a while I use the big screen. I do feel like I'm gaining more confidence in getting the big screen out more over the last day or so. I edited the photos on the go with the big screen. You have to get used to a different experience completely.

 

[Spit]

Not dared tried one handed yet lol.

 

[Spit]

I've found GBoard on extra short setting excellent to type on with the inside screen.

 

[Spit]

Does good lock work ok? Thought I heard there were issues with it on the Fold.
