(I purchased this during Black Friday Deals otherwise I would not have purchased a phone)
Immediate Cons you notice: Cover Screen Size - it's just a bit too thin which makes it hard to type on (especially if you have larger hands) but I've mostly gotten used to it. Front Facing Cameras - These leave much to be desired at 10MP for the cover screen and 4MP for the inner display, the quality in my opinion is a bit too low to make a lot of use of and to be fair I am coming off the S22 Ultra's 40MP Front camera however you are able to use the rear facing camera for selfies so not the end of the world just a little awkward to use. Inner Display Aspect Ratio (for video viewing) - The Inner Display is 7.6" however this is with a 4:3 aspect ratio, for most video content being in 16:9 this means you're really only getting a ~6.7" section of the screen for video viewing in that format which is about the same size as regular phones.
Pros: Samsungs Multitasking - The capabilities here are top tier and was the main reason I was interested in this phone, I can have 3 apps open on screen with a video miniplayer floating on top of them, it's crazy. General - I am a heavy phone user in terms of consumption but I haven't had issues with battery life (granted it's pretty early) and display quality is also good, the crease is not really noticeable unless looking at phone at certain angles, the speakers are good and microphone seems decent, and I haven't been super worried about damaging the phone which was an initial concern for me (albeit I do use the s pen case). There are a lot of settings options that make your phone flow nicely based off how you use it (I recommend looking up features videos) and the A.I. features as well as the under display camera (while a bit gimmicky at this time) are pretty cool.
All in all, my current intentions are to upgrade (if there is a good trade in deal) for next year's foldable, it's hard to want to go back to regular phones.
It's just magnificent, I'm loving every aspect of the phone, I do notice a little bit of difference with my S24 Ultra camera and battery, which I'm missing but the large screen it's worth the trade off.
Even thought the device doesn't have any ground breaking innovation or a step up from the pervious fold. The new look is very much appreciated plus the ai stuff is kinda handy. How ever the price is way to heavy for such a tiny step up and if I didn't have my fold5, that was traded in, I wouldn't have gotten the phone.
I would recommend this to a friend!
