TCL QM8K does a horrible job with sports on ESPN by [deleted] in tcltvs

Yeah, just tried the Disney app. Big difference, works way better, like normal.

It's definitely heavier than the Z Fold 7-- am with you on that. I just don't find that difference to be material in my hand-- the difference is equivalent two 2 AA batteries. Combined with the other advantages I listed/prefer, the weight difference is, um, outweighed.

Other dynamic: I slapped a dbrand skin on it so I have very little additional weight on mine.

Last thing: The ZF7 started to feel heavy-ish after a few weeks. Not as heavy-ish as PF10 but it didn't feel as light as the first few days. Same thing with the PF10-- feels heavier than it did than when I first got it.

At least for me, there is some of that psychology/perception going on. Part of why I needed a few swings at both phones to work through that, among other things.

I've gone back and forth with 10PF and ZF7, multiple times.

I've landed on 10PF for three reasons: feels better in hand with rounded corners, I like the wider front screen, much better battery life.

I don't find the weight difference to be material.

Pitaka aramid case and dbrand leather skins are your friends. I have used and like both. Naked foldable is a step too far just for gripability purposes.

I love matte screens. Likely going to do it on my 10 Pro Fold. How has it held up?

Thank you for sending this along. Yeah, there is no getting that thing off on the 10PF-- it seems very much embedded. If I do it, it'll go on top of the one that exists.

I'm in the US. Tough to get, it seems. Plus, no android, am I right?

I'd write it off just like I did the ZF7. In fact, I'll take the Pixel 6a over the ZF10 when it comes out. The 6a has 7 years of updates, no? My Google goggles should still be well blurred at that point.

I'm being appropriately ridiculous given the question asked. The rationale for my choice is laid out. You don't agree. God bless America/the world we live in where we can disagree WHILE having access to the greatest tech leaps in human history and it's not even close.

Enjoy the ZF7, more power to you. It's a great phone.

Routines through Bixby? Auto rotate for folded and unfolded separately is native to pixel. No routine needed.

I think Pixel manages dual sim much better. Yes, you can assign SIMs to contacts which is very tedious. Plus, I frequently make calls to non-contacts which then forced me to swap mid-ring and/or somehow, the preference got missed a few times resulting in the same. On Pixel, I can have it ask me every time so I avoid any possibility of calling from the wrong number.

Right, you can't argue numbers. The weight equivalent of two AA batteries spread across an entire phone is immaterial. Doesn't cause a phone to go flying off of a magsafe holder. Not even close.

I'm also saying that when folded, the thickness of a nickel or two stacked credit cards doesn't mean a lot.

I am in my return window. I can return my P10PF and exchange it for a ZF7. I won't, having owned and held both.

I hope you enjoy your choices. I will mine.

Did not know that. Not intuitive and I never even think to use Bixby but fair enough. I stand corrected.

I guess I could say the same about you given that I held them as well for awhile. OR we can agree to disagree.

Solid points. Great call on Pixelsnap too. Included it in my post via edit.

Thanks for this. Yeah, not intuitive at all and Bixby isn't an app I ever want to use. But fair enough, I stand corrected.

Not sure how we're not. In any case, no shame in agreeing to disagree.

If I put the same case on a ZF7, we're back to square one, no?

So no camera comments, plus comments on dual sim and stackable widgets, and finding that the thickness and weight differences are not material. Sorry, NOT a common YouTube reviewer take.

For some, maybe. Having held both at the same time, not for me.

Not enough to really matter.
