I've had a Samsung Galaxy Fold 4 for over a year, absolutely zero issues with the screen. No wear evident at all. It looks as beautiful now as the day I bought it.
I've got a renewed Samsung Galaxy Fold 4 two years ago. After roughly over a year later, some dirt seems to have gotten into the hinges or somewhere (didn't get a cover), so I'm not able to fold it completely flat anymore. [...]
Right now a Galaxy Fold 4. [...] It had a slide-out keyboard which I loved. I would even write code remotely to fix a critical bug, and deploy it, while I was out having lunch with my team. [...] Granted, I had better eyesight 20 years ago, but now I just use readers, can see the screen just fine.
[...] I have a Galaxy Fold and love it. I owned it for about two months before my wife went out and bought one for herself. [...] It's one of those cases in which Android's up-front investment in more flexible software paid off. Android apps were harder to write up front because they had to support resizable layouts from the get go, but by the time stuff like foldables were introduced the software library was already ready for it all.
I got the Samsung Galaxy Fold 8 ultra today. It's legit. If you saw commercials and were intrigued, it's worth the intrigue
This damn samsung galaxy fold 3 cost over 2 bands. I got it back in 2021 and the audio output has already gone out. But that shit still works with Bluetooth headphones, so guess who's gonna be using this till something else goes wrong with it
Samsung has a Galaxy fold which I’m interested in buying as a second device. I’d imagine Apple has to have something similar as a prototype as it seems like a no brainer
That's a big reason Apple causes so much resentment -- not everyone can value time over money. [...] I have been buying apple products for over 20 years now, and like most people here make a lot more money than the people who behold an iPhone as a status symbol lol. [...] I have a galaxy fold 4 and an iPhone 13 sitting on my desk. [...]
I've had three different galaxy fold zs and each one has had a broken interior screen. My current fold has a broken internal screen and I'm on vacation.
[...] It's driven me nuts for a very long time that so many mobile keyboards allow totally non-sequitur nonsensical sequence completions. [...] It's slower (although really not bad at all on my Galaxy Fold), but it's so nice to have it actually be as accurate as it is.
Do they allow Dex on Samsung flagships but without a exernal screen yet? Samsung Tab A10 FE had this and it could turn into a desktop in seconds without needing a second screen. However when I thought this would be a killer feature of the Galaxy Fold it was completely missing and just like the flagships of the time it needed a wireless or a wired monitor to run Dex
I don't know but I have a Galaxy Fold and I hate the tiny bezels it has in tablet mode. Trying not to touch the screen while holding it adds unnecessary cognitive load and just makes it feel fiddly. I also have a previous gen iPad mini and I love the thicker bezels.
[...] Samsung Galaxy Fold) as a swipe-to-scroll mechanism. There also used to be some lovely touchpad tech called "chiral scroll", which allowed for iPod-like scrolling. [...]
You dont seem to understand why people buy the most expensive phones. [...] Anecdotally the galaxy fold did really well with the obnoxiously rich circles in my country, people who previously all had iphones. [...]
