[...] I have had this phone since November and the only thing I miss on occasion is the s-pen. The multitasking and screen for content consumption is first class. [...] However, messaging when folded was an adjustment because the width of the keyboard is narrow. First world problems, so when I am in a messaging conversation I use the split screen keyboard setup. [...]
[...] I bought it specifically for art, and that 4k screen is really fantastic for it! Also has LOUD audio, even tho the speakers aren't in necessarily prime locations it really projects!You do need to get a case for this bad boy IMMEDIATLY though as it doesn't come with one.Battery life is really good! [...] The screen is massive so the longer you have the screen on, brightness especially, it will effect battery life. I am very happy with it though!One thing that I didn't consider is that since the screen resolution is so high, viewing ticktocks/ reading webtoons can be slightly blurry. [...] I've had it 3 months now and its not shown any evidence of "slowing down" or anything. [...]
[...] Only issue...I find myself using my phone more 😅 I'd sometimes pick my S20 up and scroll through apps. [...] I find any reason to pick up my phone and use it. [...]
[...] I've had mine since January 4th and i have zero complaints. [...] Like weight, if a couple of extra ounces causes you to think something is too heavy (these are all "men" complaining by the way) then your period must be coming next week. They complain about the outside screen size. If you cant use that screen, its because you don't want to. [...] They complain about the camera not being the best. Samsung definitely SHOULD have put the cameras from the 21 ultra on here but again, the cameras on here are just fine. [...] Taking pictures of your night out or your food or your outfit will be just fine with the cameras on here. [...] People find things to negative to say about this because of the price. Well now the price is $999 from samsung pre-trade so no excuses. [...]
Great points I got the s21 ultra coming from a note 10 plus. [...] Spreadsheets webex zoom Microsoft teams is at a another level. The speakers are at a different level. It's like walking around with a mini Bluetooth speaker. [...] I hope the next Gen has a bigger battery more storage and ram options.
Big agree. it's not meant to be a mini-laptop, since it's still just Android OS. The thing I like about it is being able to pull up any files stored on the cloud while at work, then view them on a nice large device, then sketch and draw notes... without ever needing to carry around a different device. I've also started to use Dex for the same purposes - not specific to the Folds, but the fact that I no longer carry around another device so it's shown me that I don't NEED that other device (so long as no workstation stuff anyway). The level of technology is really impressive. I'm super interested to see the next version, whatever that is... Just don't take it to the beach lol
Been using my for 3 Weeks now and I'm still loving it. I sold my S20 Ultra and iPad Mini 5 to get the Galaxy Z Fold 2 and what a good decision that Was! I still have my iPhone 11 Pro Max for places I'm not comfortable using my Fold 2 like near the beach.
[...] I use it heavily, gaming, netflix, everything, sometimes even charge it twice a day. [...] No issues except the protection screen started to peel on the crease edges but I push it back and it sticks for many days before I have to do it again. Samsung said they have no back up protection screens so there's that but i won't take it off either. [...]
the annoying part of the fold 2 is that you always forget it can be in landscape for a true tablet experience as when you unfold it it's that weird tall tablet that feels nothing like a tablet until way later you realize hey wait i can flip it on it's side and then use it as a proper tablet, i found that annoying as i kept forgetting about it, the fold 2 is so good that i think it's stupid to buy the note 20 instead, only thing note has now is waterproofing,spen,durable screen, better design but the gap is thinning to the point of the note being redundant
[...] Android really has to step it up when it comes to software optimizations for these kind of new form factors.
I've had mine for 4 months, I came from a note 10 plus. [...]
I've had mine since December. It has been holding up very well! Still love it and excited to use it every time I pick it up.
I was iphone user since iphone 5s.... but after many years of iOS use i fed up and decided to shift to Samsung firstly i got s22 ultra it was much much better than any iphone and now using z Fold series of Samsung, believe me samsung has best unique features for customers, folding phone is dope... going back to iphone, no way.....!!
Where can i buy the lcd my fell and broke so i need to fix it buy installing a new lcd
I have no qualms about this beautiful phone whatsoever. It's nice as well. And wow, It's great multitasking on this device, and I do love it. [...] You are my favorite tech reviewer ever. Sincerely 🤗💯Keep up the amazing work. More power and positive vibes❤
i have zero regrets buying this device. look that display with 120hz refresh rate is insane. the folding technology looks amazing and then such amazing cameras
[...] I'm upgraded from note 20 ultra 😅 but I'm not disappointed seriously amazing device 🤟🏻 looking fabulous 👌 eye catching device 😀
I'm 100% in agreement with your enthusiasm for what a great phone the Z Fold 2 is to the point that even though I've only had mine since January, I may well upgrade to the 3 as soon as it comes out, depending on what Samsung comes up with for it! I understand your opinion about the Z Fold 2 not replacing tablets fom the perspective of a professional, but I'm just a regular guy for whom the Z Fold has replaced my iPad
Loved this... Thanks. I love my new Fold 2. I've owned my trusty Note 4 for 6 years as real innovation hasn't been seen in phones for a decade. When I first saw a Fold 2 it was beyond wondrous to see innovation in the phone market again.
I've been using the fold 2 for a month now and I'm in love... [...]
I'm a content consumer and that's exactly why I want the fold. Never owned a tablet lol I was looking at this as a phone enhancement lol so excited for my fold to arrive tomorrow Edit: Got my phone and this is a beast of a phone!
After using my Samsung Galaxy fold 2 I can't never go back to a traditional phone 😂 foldables for life
I bought one last week. Basic price was €1349,- and thru a cashback action from Samsung of €500,- off, so for €849,- I have this gorgeous device!
Best video on this phone , by far. [...]
I've had my Z Fold 2 since the launch date and I just love the crap out of this phone. It even made me stop using my 10.5 Samsung tablet and iPhone too. I can't wait for the Z Fold 3
10 outta 10 times i use my phone in bed to watch YouTube instead of my tablet. Also, why on earth do you keep calling cellphones, "slabs"?
Just Bought Mine YESTERDAY....YAY!!! Love it, When you get this phone, you'll NEVER go back 🙌👍👍👍
Had my Fold 2 over a month. Honeymoon period still hasn't ended. Can't put this phone down, love it!
Got my fold 2 a couple weeks ago, loving every moment of opening it and watching videos or reading news articles or just playing a few games on the big sceeen
Hey Michael, I use Niagara Launcher on the ZFold 2 and it’s the best launcher for this phone in my opinion. It’s very minimalistic but very convenient. You can use it use one handed, in fold or unfold mode. Left handed or right handed. Give it a try ! [...]
I first started out trying the z flip when I still was locked in the apple ecosystem. 1 month later I've sold all my apple stuff and I'm on the fold 2 and I couldn't be happier
Finally a proper review of this phone. Most reviewers use it for 3 hours and pump out a video and find half hearted non issues as problems and have a clickbait title just to get you to watch. Mr Mobile is definitely one of the best in the tech industry. Love my fold 2.
Bought this thing a month ago "just to try" while I was still on my Note10+. Just within a day I decided to trade in my note for this thing--it's the new "note" with its amazing screen size and portable form factor 😍 couldnt look back!
I love the old Z fold having the Red Star Trek Wallpaper hehe
[...] In Australia we got the galaxy bud's live as a bonus which made the price a little better. [...]
I use this thing all day everyday. My iPad feels bizarre to use now.
The one review I've been waiting for since day 1 has finally arrived and it's been worth the wait! [...]
Now that I've used mine for a month I can't ever see myself going back to a regular phone again. Once you FOLD... Their is no un-FOLD-ing...
Thanks to MrMobile for getting me started in folding phones. Watching this on a Z Flip 4G, best phone I have owned in years. The biggest thing stopping me from getting the Z Fold 2 to go alongside my iPhone 11 Pro Max, is its size and weight. This is why the flip is perfect for me, I love its compact size. Curious to hear of other people would make the same choice
I love this device!! Z Fold 2 for me is a game changer. I can't see myself going back to 'normal' smartphones again after using this. P.S. [...]
I must say thank you to Mr Mobile for giving me some history on Samsung. Didn't even know that a wine made the name of the phone I have in my hand.
Love my Fold 2...... Still using 11Pro Max as primary phone (Slave to Apple Eco system with all gadgets connected :( ) but hoping to transition in to making this primary Disgusted with Apple's claim to "Innovation"!
I've had my Galaxy Z Fold 2 for a week now, it's it's been fantastic. For typing on the front screen, I'm actually using a customised version of the Microsoft SwiftKey keyboard, and I've had no issues whatsoever. I've been using that keyboard since my Galaxy S3.
It's been years since I had a phone that was easy to take out my pocket sitting down
Close the apps from background and reopen them with the larger inner display. You will get better tablet versions of Samsung Files, YouTube and Play Store. I wish it auto-switched though.
I've had mine for, what, a week? 2? & while I like it, I think its a bit too delicate & expensive to recommend, frankly.
I got a keyboard stand for my Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 for my Winlator videos, and it came with a cheap mouse that feels awful. It's so bad, it makes the $2 "gaming" mouse I got 6 years ago feel well-built. I think I might put together a quick video upgrading it with some Lexip Mo 42 ceramic feet.
