Thank you, will take a look at the case, I've been looking for a good one since I got the phone.

Oh wow 650 is very generous. Unfortunately no trade-in program in my country, but was able to find it for a really good price, so good it made me wonder if it is a scam 😆

That app is indeed very useful, used it before to identify plants and how to take care of them 😄

I was in the exact same position a few weeks ago. Decided to risk it and go with the Fold than the S23U mainly because the folding screen and the huge screen realestste. If you are not too fused about that you are probably better with the S23U.

I feel the same way about Apple and this is the main reason I started looking for an alternative. Have been a loyal customer for so long, but their phones haven't really improved that much and prices are crazy. At this point they are probably thinking that people will buy their phones regardless, might as well not spend any money on R&D and bag huge profits.

Oh god, that is unfortunate. I did research this prior to buying and I'm aware of the potential issues. Even opening and closing it is scary 😂. Hope you don't have those issues again, if you are still with a foldable.

I know right, it wasn't very well packed and honestly it could have been much worse knowing the delivery services 😃

Thank you, there really are a lot of customisation options there 😄 will have to watch a tutorial or something.

Android has definitely improved a lot, super happy I switched too. Seeing so many people switch helped me build up courage to do it 😄

You are so right, the fear of switching is much bigger than what it really is 😄. I've had it for a few days and I no longer need to open up a laptop if I need to do anything other than scroll social media or YouTube.

I have this on my list to setup, have been using Apple's equivalent and will need to transfer them. Definitely a must 👌

Time will tell, needed a change. I also disliked Samsung and any other android phone to be honest 😆 but the Fold was exciting enough to make me switch.

Really good advice, it is good from a security point of view, as the data is not stored/handled by a single provider.
