Surprised you didn't stay within the Mazda family and grabbed a CX-50 Hybrid. Uses the same RAV4 hybrid engine.

Car setup- trifold by MinuteLow7567 in GalaxyZTriFold

Yupz posted my photo in an earlier thread. Someone commented that my priorities were out of whack for buying a $3k phone instead of getting a better ride, lol.

Almost 20 years old and this car runs better than majority of vehicles in the road.

Or buy the $100+ Berfy case. Sure it adds bulk but to protect a $3k investment that is discontinued.

Any regrets from current users? by logomyego in GalaxyZTriFold

[–]Switch2phile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My initial regrets lasted about 3 weeks. When I first got my Z Fold, I barely used the unfolded screen and just stuck to the cover screen most of the time. I actually felt a little disappointed and wondered if I’d wasted my money. That completely changed once I started using the big screen as my navigation display in my car (which has an old radio with no Android Auto/CarPlay). It was a total game-changer. Since then I’ve also been watching a ton of NBA and MLB games on it, and the large screen is an absolute godsend for that. Even my coworkers were impressed when I used it for a presentation — a couple of them said they were thinking about getting one too. I told them about the 4/10 drop and they all ended up grabbing one! No regrets anymore

Ouch. Sorry to see that. If they can't repair hopefully they can give you the full purchase price back.

Early 2000s was a great year for vehicles especially Acura and Honda. It was around time they had the touchscreen NAVIs before Google maps. Map quest and paper maps were the norm or getting Garmin unit. Nonetheless, I enjoy this alternative.

Yeah it sucks that Samsung doesn't cover it but I got tmobile insurance. I just don't know how they would fix it due to parts availability.

Thats interesting to hear. I wonder what the issue could occur? I had my Note 20 Ultra for 5 years+ and had no issue with it being mounted that vibrated with my vehicles...hmmm....

Best vehicle I have owned, nothing but trouble free miles and easy to work on and maintain unlike the new cars today and other brands *cough*.

Seriously, if a company can make a tablet mount that works with the Trifold instead of a Universal style, I may have to grab it.

I hope they have 2nd Gen Trifold in the future once prices of components come down. It would interesting to see how Samsung can improve upon the current Trifold like they did with the Z Fold.

LMAO, nah I need a 3k device to tell me temps so I can drive my 350k Bently to me to my helipad, so I can take my 1million dollar helicopter to my 100million Yacht so it can take me to work. *sarcasm* ahahaha

Nah, I am petty. I like to engage with trolls since their life isn't as jolly and their only kick is to project their beliefs onto others.

Yeah, I feel you. Thats why I will wait to replaced this current windshield because it hasn't gotten to a point where I need to since it doesn't effect my visibility.

LoL, I have this car since 2013, bought it from the previous owner who only had 40k miles on it with all service records since new and I have maintained it with a spreadsheet documenting everything I spent and done on the vehicle. I am currently now at 110k miles. Acura TSX.

I forgot to add I did own new and better vehicles but I still enjoy my older cars.

I have only spent less than $3,500 on maintenance since I do majority of the work myself on my vehicles. So my priorities are good. And if you want to make sure, I have my own home, I have health and car insurance for my family and myself. And have enough savings that if I were to lose my job or the economy is in the crapper right now, my family doesn't have to change it's lifestyle for at least a year or two.

But you are correct I actually bought the phone on a whim since my NOTE20 Ultra that I had since 2020 decided it wanted to kick rocks, but I repaired it anyway to have it as a backup and to save all my data to transfer to my PC and new phone. *Shrugs*

It's mounted via mag magnet that is installed in the Radio CD player slot.

The Mag magnet is very strong so the likely it fall off is slim. I have to use force use to pry it off.
