They are brighter and better in many cases but one most important the oled screens set to full brightness for too long and your screen will be forever like having a burned map inside.
Thus in long term use an cheaper LCD is much better option in my honest opinion.

          Weird name so Fol series instead of F for FOLD will be Z series where Z wil be like Zero.
          Which represent phone screen durability.
          Or Zero like nothing. Nothing particular and special to see.

                That doesn't mean things can't change. The Galaxy brand is redundant by the fact they don't sell Windows or Tizen phones any longer. The Tizen brand is in fact also called Galaxy these days, which just makes the Galaxy brand a brand for the sake of the brand.

                I still think cleaning their whole naming hierarchy up would make things less confusing and models easier to remember.
                Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2, Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G. They're bad names, too long for the average Joe to remember.
                Samsung Fold 2, Samsung S20 Ultra. Isn't that a lot cleaner and easier to identify?

                  IMO they should remove Z from their naming Galaxy Fold and Galaxy Flip sounds better

                    Seriously, how does the team that's responsible for naming Samsung phones still have jobs?

                        "The name was chosen by Samsung founder Lee Byung-chull whose vision was for his company to become powerful and everlasting like stars in the sky."

                          Galaxy means Android. Without the name it feel like a different OS.

                          And Samsung generally uses any single Alphabet for same type of Phones.
                          So using Z for both type isn't a Samsung approach.

                          I'm not saying This can't happen at all. I'm saying it's highly unlikely.
                          This rumor might be wrong just like the Leaked(by Samsung Ukraine) Image of Note 20 ultra is wrong.

                            AnonD-754814, 06 Jul 2020Highly unlikely, Then what will the Z flip be called ?Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2,3,4,5...
                            Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 2,3,4,5...

                              time to remove the "Galaxy", sounds boring. Why put "samsung galaxy" everywhere instead of just samsung. Even "Optimus" is better.

                                  I'd personally prefer if they dropped they Galaxy part of the name. I mean, they're almost exclusively making Android devices these days, so the differentiator isn't necessary any more. They'd even be able to remove the Z label on the folding and flipping phones.
                                  Samsung Flip 2 rolls off the tongue a bit better than the current name, I think.
