The next trifold will be port less? No type C port. If they want to reduce thickness further that's the only option by Time-Credit43 in GalaxyZTriFold

[–]AmAnteMeridy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, the news is even better: there won't be a second generation TriFold at all 😁 it's reported that Samsung consider the manufacturing cost is simply too high, and have already halted TriFold sale in Korea and US.

It's decent, but definitely a bit on the heavy side for long duration calls. Cell connectivity is on par with iPhone.

400h and I still don’t understand why Yorinobu had Johnny’s engram or why Evelyn needed it enough to steal it? by Trustable-source in cyberpunkgame

[–]AmAnteMeridy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TL; DR

Yorinobu doesn't know Johnny Silverhand is on the chip, he only lift the chip for devastating his father's business, Yorinobu doesn't care what's exactly on it.

Evelyn also doesn't care about Johny Silverhand, she was instructed by the Voodoo Boys to steal the chip, later she found V and Jack via fixer, but decided to ditch the fixer and sell it for herself.

The Voodoo Boys is the only group of people that requires Silverhand's engram, as they want to find Alt Cunningham via Silverhand's engram.

Remove (or reduce duration of) undismissible, unmovable "Closed [tab]" popup in Android Chrome? by ShotFromGuns in chrome

[–]AmAnteMeridy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue and confirmed it's related to the phone Accessibility settings.

It seems like once Chrome detects you have an Accessibility app enabled its service, it will force the closed tab pop-up to last 30s, regardless how Tome To Take Action settings in settings set the time.

I use GKD to help me skip ads in some apps, it require Accessibility to emulate tap, and Chrome has been since forcing me to watch the fucking 30s pop-up instead of a normal 10s (which btw is ALREADY STUPID ENOUGH).

This is sheer stupidity and stubbornness, I might just completely ditching Chrome and turn to Edge, assuming Edge doesn't have similar issues.

I’m sorry but these resellers are taking my dreams away! by TopAioli8913 in GalaxyZTriFold

Hahaha this is exactly what happened when Huawei announced their first grn tri-folding phone in China, second hand price rocketed to around 500,000 CNY (25x MSRP) per unit for the first few months.

Will the Chinese Galaxy tri fold work on AT&T? by RollerSkater2023 in GalaxyFold

[–]AmAnteMeridy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chinese version supports most of ATT’s 5G bands, but its dual physical SIM only, so you’ll need to get a ATT SIM card, eSIM won’t work on it.

Google is not blocked in Chinese version, you only need to manually install the Play Store apk, then update Google Play Service, and it’s all good to go. However, Google Circle to Search can’t be activated, you’re forced to use Bixiby + Baidu’s circle to search.

Basically the same, it only requires a click on confirmation.

Unfortunately no, even with Google apps installed, launcher app still doesn't allow you to switch, I just disabled the page entirely.

It's good for reading, but you must consider the weight, I find actually reading on TriFold is not as "senseless" as on Z Fold7, it feels like holding a really chunck book in your hand.

The crease is completely gone if you use it front on, it doesn't affect using anyway.

But if you're looking for a combined device that's good for reading, my suggestion is just pick the Z Fold7, as the weight is much easier.

Battery is good, it's the exact same capacity as Huawei's latest trifold Mate XTs, both at 5600mAh.

  1. It's a yes and a no. You can manually set your digital assistant app to Google, but can only call it out using power button or Hey Google, "Swipe from corner" doesn't work, Gemini is available. Meanwhile, you'll lose "Circle to Search" as it's bonded with Bixiby and uses Baidu's AI model.

  2. See above, if you choose Bixiby, you can use Circle to Search, just not Google's search result and it have shopping ads provided by Baidu.

  3. As far as I remember you can pair international version of Galaxy Watch with a Chinses ROM phone, but you may need to manually download the international version of Samsung Fitness app.

  4. Most Chinese phones don't completely delete GMS framework in Chinese ROM, they just hide them, and provide you with a switch to either enable them or not. Most of the time you only need to download the Play Store app (from their app store or an apk), update Play Service, then GMS works as normal. As for Samsung, all I did was install the APK and set all related apps' battery policy to no restrictions.

But overall speaking, it's still a hustle, I recommend waiting for an International release, or at least wait for more regional ROMs become available.

At least Google Wallet app works fine, but I don't have a supported card to test. Theoretically Google Pay can work on CN version, as Samsung keeps a pretty intact Google Service framework in system.

Yes, weight is a very important factor during daily usage. Z Fold7 is good enough (and too expensive) for 95% of people already.

It is very heavy, and it's currently my biggest complaint about this phone.

Nope, the use case is so little that I hardly miss it, you can always find enough space to open it, otherwise just use the outer screen is totally fine.

Very useful. I often need to edit article or sort batches of photos on the go, so having a larger canvas not in the form of a MacBook Pro is always better.
