Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 - Pre ordering?

[Mr Segundus]

Nope. $2K is a ridiculous price for a phone.

Yep, I agree, $2,000 for a phone is a bit ridiculous. But when you break it down per month it's not horrible and that's how they can get away with it.

Android Central hands on !!! Looks hot

Side note : They mention amazing trade in values, shows how clueless in general YouTubers/Reviewers are about buying phones since they never buy like us. Looks like reading Samsung PR material

Haha ... They didn't look at some of the phones values ... $290 for Pixel 4 XL for instance ..

Also do we have a Fold 2 forum? I don’t see it.
@mustang7757 @Mike Dee

If we don't it probably be added soon


Edit: just the first fold forum , probably be added later

The cost of the phone per month is almost the cost of an unlimited phone plan/month on Verizon.

I like the 2 better than the original Fold. I think they're getting there. By the time the 3rd one is released I think it may be worth 2 grand. (That's if it stays at 2 grand). Not quite there for me yet though. I do want the Thom Browne Galaxy Watch 3 though.

I am curious and vaguely paying attention to specs and reviews, but the cost and overall newness have me waiting. I want them to stuff a s-pen inside, lower the cost or at least improve trade in values/incentives, and ideally I'd see a more impressive battery but real use could challenge that assumption.

I am quite content with my N20U personally, but then I waited a bit before jumping onto the Note bandwagon as well. Love new tech, but unfortunately I have to draw limits.

Done deal...ordered.

Same here, ordered. I found them on the Samsung site, but there is only a button for "Where to buy" and it finds nothing.

Yup thinking it will show up soon on Samsung... All good phone won't be here for a bit

No interest at all from me. I'll just look at the YouTube videos.

I really want the Fold 2 but even with $500 off it a lot considering what's already in my garage ...and it's not weather resistant and I can't protect the inner screen. ...so I'm gonna wait and marinate a bit longer on this. I have an S10+, S20 Ultra, Note 20, and Note 20 Ultra and I'm greedy and don't want to give those up but the 11 Pro Max can go when the time comes...it won't be missed.

Oh man no love for the Max ? Why? Although I will be going iPhone 12 Max or whatever they call it ...

Just curious, will the Unlocked version of the Fold 2 work on Sprints network??

Yes all US unlocked Samsung phones work with all US carriers. So you should be good to use on Sprint.

Thanks, I'm just working out the details on paper. My Sprint Note 10+ is eligible for upgrade, trying to see if/how to trade it in with Samsung.

 

[Xxtoxicskittlexx]

It’s a hard decision but I’m sending the N20U back to get this. Looks promising

 

[jsk0703]

Honestly, I’d rather save some money and go with the Surface Duo. For my needs it would be good enough and I wouldn’t have to worry about that fold crease.

 

[ROE_HUNTER]

So, does it come with USB-C wired headphones or not? Seen videos showing them and videos not showing them...

The iPhone 11 Pro Max is incredible hardware bound by software that just...bores me to tears...at the present moment. I appreciate how well the iPhone works and it's ecosystem but I just love the constant customization I get with my Android devices. That is what I keep coming back to year after year. Let's see what the iPhone 12 Pro Max (or whatever it will be called) and i0S 14 bring to the table.

I really would like a go at the Fold 2, it looks like an incredible luxury. We'll see.

Totally understand where you coming from with your thoughts ... I think I had one year ever with just an iPhone... I get bored as well and at times too much with these phone switching killing me lol but I'm having fun .. I m fortunate to get to carry two daily on each side of the platform ...
