direct from samsung

You and your gadget addiction

Mine arrived from o2 last Friday, undecided on whether to keep it or not. Whilst it's a great price of kit, I still prefer the standard form factor.

Haha yes I need help!!!!

 

[ntemples1]

got the phone from DPD but not accessory pack??? did everyone get theirs with the phone?

 

[ntemples1]

Loving the phone, that free case with the pen is pretty bad. I hate flip covers I've ordered the leather case.

 

[ntemples1]

I just got the official leather cover, it's really nice it's like the one on the z fold 2 but they actually put the front screen one too and it's really thin very nice

 

[ntemples1]

I've heard that the free one is ugly and too bulky. Presumably you received the free one too yeah?

Yeah I've got the free one it's rubbish with that flap

 

[ntemples1]

Thanks for sharing mate.

How is everyone else getting on too with it?

I am absolutely loving mine, coming from a 12 pro max!! I loved the fold 2 though also.

 

[ntemples1]

Pretty amazing really that even after all that it was fine!!

 

[ntemples1]

Mines wiped, boxed up and ready to return to o2.

I really wanted to like it, but unfortunately for me, the front screen is not big enough for every day use, it's even worse with the Spigen Slim Arnour Pro installed. Speaking of which, I had a mare trying to remove the rear section from the phone. Also I'm suffering too much battery anxiety with the Fold's inadequate power source.

Few things I'd like to see on the next Fold:

• Bigger battery
• Wider outer display
• Pen support on the outer display
• Pen storage built into the phone
• All/some cases need to allow easy access to the sim tray

I'll stick with my S21 Ultra and iPhone 12 Pro Max for the foreseeable. Sorry Fold 3, it's been emotional.

sad times!! hehe i am loving mine!! (for now)

Does anyone know if we have to activate the samsung care plus or is it automatically done on the phone when you buy from samsung?

 

[ntemples1]

I think once the phone is linked to your Samsung account, it's automatically applied. You can check if the phone is linked by logging into your account on Samsung and going to my page and seeing if the phone is listed there. I called Samsung to doublecheck and they said the care plus was active.

it's listed under devices, I can't find any mention of care plus though, on the website it says you have 30 days to activate it after purchase I might call them also

 

[ntemples1]

upon contacting them they said it's already active

 

[ntemples1]

Anyone using theirs without a case? I have the official leather one, but I would like to just use the phone without it. It looks so much nicer and feels really nice in the hands although I am worried about dropping the bloody thing!!

 

[ntemples1]

I dropped a small bottle of olive oil in the screen while cooking in the kitchen. A juicy £500 screen repair.. avoid if you're clumsy.

wsan't it covered with the Samsung Care plus?

 

[ntemples1]

I'm still loving mine. Only gripe for me is the battery life, I always end up having to charge about 5pm!!!

 

[ntemples1]

What screen on time are people getting? I'm struggling to get 4 hours!!

 

[ntemples1]

Anyone running Android 12 yet?

 

[ntemples1]

I'm on EE and still on Android 11 and November's security patch

yes on o2 and the same for me, wish they would get a move on!

 

[ntemples1]

Insold my fold 3 and bought an s22 ultra, I miss it so much I've bought another one and selling the s22 now!!
