Fold 7 or S25U?

[donm527]

That's my thinking. The time I go to a professional photo shoot and they walk in with a phone for the camera I'll be leaving immediately. These are phones, the camera is just a bonus, stop expecting professional pictures from a "phone"

It's not about going for pro looking photos... i bet a lot of people don't even switch off of 12mp on their phones to make use of 50mp or 200mp.

It's about having a wider range of shots available.

I can't put my chip on my Fold 7 to make it my daily yet so rocking the S23U but looking forward to playing with it. But just this past weekend I had a scenario that is one of my only concerns with the Fold... I was attending my daughters white coat ceremony this past weekend in Auburn and in the upper floors and using the S23U to be able to go from 1 to 10x and even 30x with Samsung super processing in low light was great. I don't need 50x or 100x. But would have been nice to 10x. Outdoor pics too where I am visiting the campus and having that variety.

I think these two were at 3x and 10x.

On my S23U and S22U, I've used 3x and 10x a lot on a variety of shots for a variety of events. When I show friends at the same events how i am capturing these zoomed pics with such clarity over their iPhone Pros they are hating their phones in those cases.

For a $2000 phone... the 200mp main is nice... but for $2000 I'd want a little more zoom. Maybe they will come out with a ZF8 Ultra with 10x-30x zoom for $2500 next year

But I am looking forward to playing with it more as my daily.

My point was it's a phone with a camera as a bonus. People that want professional pictures should look at a camera made for such things. I was just saying if I came to a photo shoot and they pull a phone out, I'm leaving.

For me the camera on a phone is the least of my concerns, if it had one camera on the back would probably be fine for me I'm one of those that don't get into settings and change all the settings for the camera, I point and shoot that's all I need. As far as I'm concerned the fold has one camera too many, the inside camera is not needed.

I agree with you there. The camera on the inner screen is pretty useless. I have yet to ever use that.

Hell, I have only used the front cover camera once. Almost everything I have done are with the main cams. When I am taking selfies with friends, I just open it up and use the mains. Having the screen with a live preview so we can see it before we take it has been fantastic!
