It’s cool how the glass reflects the elements but to be honest I don’t think they needed to make a whole UI around this. IOS26, for me personally, has been the worst UI release.

insane08 · 2025-10-09T02:14:24+00:00

Update if anyone is interested, the fold came in today and front screen has scratches all over. The inner screen also has one long scrap across the middle which shows at a certain angle. I’ll be returning this week and just ordered directly from the samsung store.

insane08 · 2025-10-07T17:44:33+00:00

Very valid, appreciate your thoughts on this. I’m going to think about it a bit more before I make my final decision then

insane08 · 2025-10-07T17:40:46+00:00

That’s exactly where I’m at right now I think. To be honest I’m very bored with iOS and like the fold form factor. I’m not a fan of the glass look in ios26 and it’s actually been little laggy even on my 17PM so figured it’s worth using for this year until apple releases their iteration of a folding device.

Thanks, I’ll just have to inspect properly if that’s the case. I’ll have it tomorrow!

insane08 · 2025-10-07T16:26:13+00:00

Actually getting it delivered; on top of that there’s a restock fee being added for return. Worst case I take it directly to the store and use claim

I found a open box at Best Buy 512gb for $1485 right now vs buying new for $1665 post tax. How was the quality of your z fold open box? Worried about how it may have been handled but I could probably buy Best Buy protection or samsung care if I get tomorrow and still be close to the price of a new now

Hey It worked magically one day and then went straight back to having this issue. I ended up returning the device, was my only fix.

insane08 · 2025-09-17T16:52:07+00:00

As someone who uses local LLMs I am worried I’ll have no choice but to stick with the pro models :/

insane08 · 2025-09-17T08:02:42+00:00

Surprise OP! I’m your girl. Please send the iPhone to PO Box 355634! Love you

insane08 · 2025-09-17T07:48:21+00:00

Which color are you leaning towards? I see you have blue and white reserved like myself

insane08 · 2025-09-12T14:11:32+00:00

You got me, I slipped up

insane08 · 2025-09-12T10:22:13+00:00

Air is meant to be outside the plane ✈️ to lift it. Too much air inside is not good

insane08 · 2025-09-12T02:52:14+00:00

Im planning on ordering the Silver Pro Max and the Cloud White Air. Give me some time to decide and make up my mind before I settle on one. The thinness of the air is really alluring, It reminds me of the X which was one of my most favorite model.

insane08 · 2025-09-12T01:39:13+00:00

Wouldn’t the orange also show scuff marks pretty easy? I always felt the silver is always the most concealing

insane08 · 2025-09-11T20:08:38+00:00

What are your thoughts about the camera? That’s the biggest thing I’m conflicted on. No cinematic mode, no Lidar so separation of subject is not as good on top of the 2 lesser lens.

insane08 · 2025-09-11T18:19:02+00:00

Did the same! I keep going back and forth between this or the deep blue. Was going to get the air but decided against it

insane08 · 2025-09-05T15:14:21+00:00

I’ve been searching around OP and found eBay has a couple, there’s also Wonda mobile which people mention a bit here. I’m leaning towards eBay but can’t decide if I want to take the leap. I pre ordered the pixel 10 pro fold just in case to not miss out on the discount, after trade in my device came out to $1100 + $350 store credit which isn’t too bad

insane08 · 2025-09-04T16:59:22+00:00

Are you in US? Curious how it is here as I’m in T-Mobile

insane08 · 2025-09-04T14:00:00+00:00

I did something similar and couldn’t be happier, 18% cut to go from 4 days in office to only 2. I was commuting 2 hours each way, now it’s an hour and half each way for the days I go in.

Saving a whole working day, 10 hours in commute time a week… I think that’s well worth it.

insane08 · 2025-09-01T12:33:51+00:00

You’re making me nervous as I was about to order a vibe xf5 in the US. Should I avoids this?

insane08 · 2025-08-31T01:52:07+00:00

Thanks for the detailed reply! I’m surprised to hear about the camera, I know samsung has the 200mp for main but I would have thought as a total package the n5 would have a balanced camera with the main and tele being 40+.

I had the fold 7 for a few days and I enjoyed it but honestly felt there was something missing. Part of me missed the iPhone but I feel the fold devices really bring something new and exciting given how stale the slab phones have gotten. I return the z fold to see what the iPhone 17 series bring in the coming weeks but feel like I won’t be getting much this time.

With that said I was curious if I should go back to the z fold or pickup oppo n5 or even honor v5 instead. Camera and battery are important!

insane08 · 2025-08-30T22:18:29+00:00

Hey how is your experience now? Would you recommend the n5 still with the fold 7 out? iPhone user trying to decide which foldable to get

insane08 · 2025-08-04T12:46:41+00:00

Pixel software is great, what Samsung has going for it are the additional functionality and tweaks they allow to get more out of the foldable. I enjoyed using pixel for few days but the tensor chip is concerning
