MrKapowski 05/19/22 10:54:40 AM #10:	I had a Flip 3, gave it to my daughter when I got an S22 Ultra Even though the Ultra is huge, I much prefer it. My daughter does love the Flip though. The Flip was very bulky with a case, close to an inch thick. Really uncomfortable to put in pockets. Without a case it wasn't bad, but it also felt delicate, so I was worried about fucking it up. --- So! You want to hear a story, eh? <cite>MrKapowski posted [p:965150958] in Is the Sam...

RAAAWWWRRR 05/19/22 11:46:05 AM #12:	I have a zflip 3 and it's a really fun phone to use. Yet, there's a chance the screen could break. My biggest con is the screen and battery. My screen has tiny scratches that is caused by my fingernails unfortunately. As for the battery, it sucks... Overall I can't imagine myself spending nearly $2K for the fold when samsung themselves are refusing to repair customers repairs. Look up the zflip/fold reddit communities and there are hundreds of stories where samsung are refusing to repair screens. So yea.. it's BS. Imo, either go with zflip3, or a regular phone. The fold is too risky imo. Yet, the screen damage is still low. Depends on how you take care of it. I baby my flip3 monthly. --- Ryzen 9 3950X, RTX 3080 FE/PS4 Pro 500 Million Limited Edition #31,033/Xbox One X Platinum Taco Bell Limited Edition, Nintendo Switch, PS5, Xbox Sex <cite>RAAAWWWRRR posted [p:965152072] in Is the Sam...

Maninstagnate 05/19/22 12:02:51 PM #13:	Love my Fold 3. It's nice to have a tablet you can put in your pocket and make calls with. The inner screen glass isn't as weak as you think. If you don't have long fingernails or put it close to sharp objects it probably won't scratch. You also likely use the outer screen more when in public running errands. Battery life although is a bummer. Definitely will be low at the end of the day and it needs to be charged each night. I say it's worth it if you like to multitask on your phone. <cite>Maninstagnate posted [p:965152406] in Is the Sam... [t:80026286]...</cite> <quote>Love my Fold 3.

Zanzenburger 05/19/22 12:20:51 PM #14:	I have a Z Fold 3 and it is by far the best phone I ever had. I got it on release day on August 27th, and nine months later, it still works exactly as it should, so it survives the durability test to me. Honestly, after having a foldable phone, I can never go back to the tiny screens of a regular phone. I hope these phones are here to stay. Also, let me add some pros and cons since I'm already talking about it. Pros: Large screen for watching videos and reading articles Stylus is smooth and feels good to take notes Screen is very durable The multi-window features is amazing and lets me use multiple apps at the same time (my favorite feature) You can do a half-fold so that it works as its own stand for hands-free use and video-viewing Cons: Battery life isn't very good, will just barely last a whole day of heavy use; it's better if you use battery-saver mode The software can get buggy when you constantly open and close the phone while using the app, which can crash your app you are using Bulkier than most phones on the market out there Expensive pricepoint to buy Stylus and stylus-holder case have to be bought separately Overall, the pros outdo the cons for me. --- Congratulations!

Kloe_Rinz 05/21/22 4:42:42 AM #29:	foldable phones crease down the center and it basically becomes a row of dead pixels or unusable pixels. its more like two separate screens attached to eachother than one large screen. once they fix the creasing issue i might switch from apple back to samsung. by then, foldable phones might be high enough quality for apple to release their own https://youtu.be/_mgAKSnMH0s?t=218 <cite>Kloe_Rinz posted [p:965196214] in Is the Sam...
