I don’t need them but I requested lol


Anyone using Samsung Care +? I’m debating if I want to add the monthly for accidental coverage ...I’ve never insured any prior phone other than my iPhone


Edit : just added the insurance at least for now ....

I ordered on pre-Order launch from Samsung and my delivery went from The 18th, 21st, now the 28th. This is making me more tempted to cancel.

Oh man hope it updates soon...I had 28th on the website but that wasn't correct ..

How easy is it to cancel?

It says month to month...from what I see here a few ways ..

So, 24 hours in and I can certainly say I understand the price tag on the Fold 2. Build quality and materials really are top notch, as they should be. The pre-applied screen protectors on the cover and inner display are appreciated. Makes me wonder why Sammy just couldn't do the same on their American Note 20's. I may hold off on installing the Whitestone Dome on the cover screen.

I cannot honestly say, however, that I enjoy using the Fold2 any more than my Notes, novelty aside. It's notably (pardon the pun) heavy and, when open, somewhat unwieldy in the hand. I think the C|Net review mentioned this. I'm sure I will get used to it but since I go back and forth between it and my other devices the weight difference keeps jumping out. The big display is a luxury but opening the phone to get to it may get old for me, who knows? It's really made me appreciate the form-factor of my Notes and S20U. I will say that the cover display is quite usable and makes it unnecessary to open the device all the time unless I really want that luxuriously large screen.

Oh no. I'm sorry to hear that. I guess it don't bother me since I'm used to the hole since my z flip and note10 plus has it. I hope you find something you like.

My 10+ has the hole but videos end before it

Yes, maybe it's just me, but from watching all the videos I had it in my head it would be a chunkier device, but it's nice and compact. And the build quality feels out of this world. I had the LG V60 with the dual screen case before this so the weight isn't bothering me, it's actually lighter than the LG with the second screen. It does feel good in the hands raw dog, but I'll be happier when the Kevlar case gets here.

I don't mind heavier phones but definitely knocked it out the park quality wise ..it just feels it to me too...I would love to use this way maybe just the skins on back and camera ...we shall see ...

I've been being playing with it all day and its been fun! I found that camera protectors for my Note 20 fit well enough to last until Mobile Fun sends me the Fold 2 camera protectors.

Mine just got updated to delivery for tomorrow. I was so close to cancelling. I'm on the fence because I really want the Pixel 5. I guess I'll try it out. It's mainly about the cameras for me. If the camera quality isn't up to my standards it's gotta go. I'm shocked there aren't many camera reviews up yet.

I think this camera will be good enough I would not expect it to be the reason picking this phone ..I've only taken a few pics they are good enough to my liking ..I know others want the top specs on Note 20 Ultra here but that's not the emphasis here ...

 

[JD Moogan]

I'm so used to the photo quality on my pixel 4 XL, it's got me spoiled.

 

[cnotes2019]

Verizon f’d up my address they said it was fixed now. We shall see ...

 

[cnotes2019]

I got that. Kinda sux. Bubbles bad. Maybe I'm just not good at installing these. As soon as I get my case next week it's coming off.

Thanks. I just canceled my order. Idk what I’m going to do now

People shouldn’t buy the fold 2 for camera first as note ultra and pixel will offer more in certain situations.

Getting the fold is more for the 2 in 1 experience more than anything. If camera is the main thing that matters and it needs to be top draw then you may likely end up returning.

I would say keep your pixel and use two devices if it’s that big a deal.

I’m keeping my note ultra due to the superior camera features but will still use the fold 2 as my daily.
