Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 - Pre ordering?

[Jewels81]

So far I am loving it. I didn't think I would buy the fold 2 when it first was announced, in fact I bought the note 20 ultra and slammed the fold 2. I was seeing way to many positive reviews and comments I finally caved and bought one. I had zero interest in the first fold, but since samsung answered the biggest negative for me which was the small front screen I decided to go for it. It took some getting used to the narrow front screen, but once I did it is nice. I don't have to stretch across the screen to tap something, it's all pretty much in reach. I find this phone very functional, very easy to reply to messages, quick Facebook checks and such things on the front screen, and when I want to sit down and get involved in something, open the phone up and have a bigger screen. Just like this comment, I can proof read a longer comment without having to scroll up and down, I can see the whole comment on the display.

If samsung keeps the technology coming, the fold screen holds up and it appears it has on the first fold after they corrected the first issue, I think I am on the fold wagon. It is so nice having the narrow screen for quick stuff so it's easier to navigate one handed and the bigger inside screen for more involved usage. To me, using a phone one handed for quick things is a bonus, I did all sorts of things on the notes to make one handed usage doable, I don't have to do anything on the front screen with the fold 2 to use front screen one handed. I figure if you need to use 2 hands to run a phone you might as well have a bigger screen. The fold 2 gives me both options with minimal footprint. I don't care if they bring the S pen to the fold myself, I'm not sure it's even a good idea with the inside screen. Samsung pushed the envelope when they first released the note and they created a monster over the years with that phone, I now think samsung is doing the same with the fold. For the fold 2 being one of the first generation folding phones, I think they did a solid job and I am so far very happy. They need improvement of course, but it is a pretty solid phone and can hold up to the note series IMO. The next model has one need before anything else, and that's the SD card slot. Samsung dropped the ball there.

Edit...I think your husband is wrong, I think the fold will keep getting better and better that you will stay with it.

Lmao I think you are right cause I haven't really thought about my old note10+ since my last post to you. Yeah I had no interest in the first fold either. Didn't like that small front screen either. Looked funny. And didn't like the camera area on inside. Right? I love being able to read most of the stuff on the screen while scrolling less. The front screen is great for when I want to quick messaging while at work when I'm too busy to open the phone which is most of the time since I work with animals. And also good when I'm laying in bed and have to do something real quick then put it back on night stand. The only thing I hate about the fold 2 is the awful inner display screen protector lmao. I'm cleaning that thing a lot lol. I just ain't taking it off til I find one I like. The front one I don't even notice lol. Well except for the few scratches I already got on that protector. But those happened when I had the phone but no cases lol. Yeah I'm ok if they don't bring the spen to the fold line. The screen will definitely have be able to handle the pen for that. Especially for the ones that are screen heavy(people that write harder on screen). Sorry that is what I call it lol. So glad you are loving it. I'm still loving it lol. Oh yeah I think the fold 3 definitely needs the SD card option. The other day at work, I had closed my fold 2 and this orlder lady was like "did you just break your phone like that?" I laughed and said no it a foldable phone called the samsung galaxy z fold 2. She said yeah never heard of it. Lol. I showed her and she was like yeah she couldn't handle this kind of phone. She said she would break it. So far I've been lucky to not have dropped it. Hope I didn't just jinx myself. Lol.

Edit: sorry for all the lol. I have a bad habit of that.

Ah excuse me where's the case? We waiting on you.. Hehe

Lmao you and me both. It was supposed to be delivered this past Monday but didn't. It said left somewhere in Texas since last Saturday but finally updated earlier to the usps destination facility. Which is the place it goes before it comes to me. So it should come tomorrow.

It was nice reading your whole post without having to scroll. I think folding phones are the next thing. Everyone said the note wouldn't make it when it was released, and here we are.

Lol I know right. And I agree fold series will be around for awhile for sure.

Haha. Yeah. At this point it comes when it comes I guess lol. As long as I like the case that one will probably be my main case.

Got my spigen tough Armor case today that thing is loaded with adhesive lol. Least it is already applied. Had to apply the VRS ones. I'll take some pics soon.

Anyone know if they are going to come out with a tempered glass screen protector for the front screen besides white dome? I'm not seeing anything, just the film ones.

Woo-hoo in the house.. Awesome and I want to hear about your initial thoughts on it.. Looking forward..

Hmmm can't think of any others.. I would probably only go WhiteDome.. But also be aware if you plan on front case might be issue...

Not planning on using a front case, they interfer with the lock button/FPS and edge panels for me. White dome is expensive and reviews aren't great

Tbh that’s the only one I’d go ..I’ve never had issues with them ...of course I’ve not tried it on this phone so don’t know or follow ...Front screen film doesn’t bother me at all ...hopefully you will see new ones out soon ...

Well here is my spigen tough armor case on my bronze fold 2. I think it is a very nice case. The left side of front case by henge definitely sits higher than my other cases. It does sometimes make it hard to use the letters on keyboard on that side like A, Q, etc lol. The back gestures sometimes don't work to where I have to do it again. I will say I do catch myself resting my finger on that high lip when I'm staring at something on screen for a bit and I find it actually helpful when hold phone one handed. The adhesive were a little awkward for my fingers to get tabs off. I had 2 tabs take the adhesive completely off and couldn't get them separated so I took the extra adhesive from my vrs case and used it on this case lol. I don't know if you can tell in pics but the camera cutout on back looks a little off. One side has more space between case and camera than other side. But not noticeable enough to worry or be bothered with. You can see in one of the pics when folded on the top side where the buttons are case doesn't shut totally but it doesn't seem to effect anything. It closes close enough. I keep opening and closing just to watch the henge cover go inside case lmao. I know I'm a dork. I do notice a little more weight but not much in my opinion. Now bad thing about this black case is me looking for it in a darker area haha. The back of case is somewhat a fingerprint magnet. I love the smooth feeling of it. I actually feel like the phone would be protected if it fell while closed. I don't know about opened tho. I think if spigen does one in bronze I'll buy that one too. But with all of the adhesive on this case it not one I would one to take off much. So it will be my daily driver. Good thing I like it. Lol. Here are the pics.

Excellent.. First the pics are perfectly done to show this case... I don't really see the off on the camera cutout.. You said we wouldn't see lol... I don't know about missing key strokes for me that would bother but hopefully adjustment as you use it.. I like the fit and look on the hinge and don't feel bad I would be closing and opening it too many times as well to check it out. Haha
Maybe I nice glow in the dark part skin so you can see that bad boy in darkness
