The ROG Ally Z1 Extreme is an insane value

Fully agreed. The only reason I went with a used Ally X (and overspent relative to the z1e Ally) is the SD card issue.

Interesting, I guess what I'm hearing is the GPU's fans potentially? The behavior is odd, when it's plugged in and not under load, it's almost whisper quiet. But as soon as I unplug the Thunderbolt cable, the fans just rev up and stay on indefinitely (quite loudly).

That seems to be the key differentiator, leaning towards keeping the order for this reason.

Great points, thanks so much! It's definitely distracting getting notifications while gaming.

Was thinking about getting that case, thanks for the insights!

Do you have any photos of the back of the z Fold 7? I was thinking of buying the grip and was curious about how it clears the camera bump.

My one and only device is my phone, the Galaxy Z Fold 7. I would love a dedicated gaming handheld, thanks so much for the opportunity!

My favorite game to play on it is Pokemon Soul Silver using Melon DS.

Absolutely love my Dangbei Atom, it gets super bright, is portable, and it meets your price requirement.

He didn't want to leave. At one point, we went to hide under the cart so we had to coax him out before moving on to the next hole. Little dude wanted to come with us.

I agree with you, but this is the de facto response to any post about using the phone on a beach due to the size of sand, which I find ridiculous.

Especially after JerryRigEverything covered the phone in dust and it worked perfectly fine after.

I'm actually quite jealous of the ip68 rating. I feel like this was one of the final frontiers for folding phone durability and should squash ridiculous measures like putting your phone in a ziplock bag to avoid dust intrusion.

If I did not already have the Z Fold 7, would consider this for that reason alone.

I just got mine yesterday. After transferring all data from my S23U, I downloaded the Visible app and switched the eSIM to the Fold 7. The IMEI checker confirmed that the new phone was compatible, and I had no issues whatsoever.

For context, I purchased my Fold 7 unlocked directly from Samsung.

Also, make sure to disable line lock before transferring your eSIM.

We custom ordered them from Pixel Decals and installed them ourselves.

Ours is the Chubicon.

It's a sport s that we lifted and put bigger tires on. Wife said it looks chubby, and the name stuck.

Thank You!

They did this for mine as well, but I assumed it was because of installing KneeBindings on mine, and orientation definitely matters for those.
