        The plebian 25W charging is insulting on a phone of this price.

        I'm not even gonna mention the 15W on the Flip.

        I currently own a Z Fold 2 and I need to free 90 minutes off my schedule just to charge it.

          Nothing screams premium like a plastic screen & 4mp camera...

            Anonymous, 11 Aug 2021The under screen camera is not quadbayer. It is indeed 4MP. Yeah, Just like the old HTC One M7

                No microSD support.
                No top of the line design ,cameras and internal specs.
                How is this a good fold?
                I said before I will wait 50 years for something wow.

It's 2021 and 99% of all premium smartphone doesn't have headphone jack :D And people who can afford this phone surely can afford a decent high-end wireless headphone that losing the jack isn't a big problem. aptX/ aptX HD know its work.

                    Nearly $2000? No headphone jack? No expandable storage and at most 256 internal? That's just stupid! Just the same, I'm sure there are suckers out there that will buy one just for bragging rights. "Ooh, look at my expensive new phone that I can't even load half my music library onto."

I am completely fine with the crease being present on the screen as it is only visible when the screen is unfolded but that tiny space when the phone is folded looks really ugly

                              YUKI93, 11 Aug 2021One thing that got me wondering about the S Pen support is ... moreIt seems to be just a refresh of its predecessor. It would have been MUCH more appropriate for them to call it Fold 2s, like they do with A-series refreshes.

                                Yes, i wished the camera was upgraded which they certainly could have done, but overall im still excited. Looking forward to swapping my ZF2.

                                      It looks fairly durable now, I have to say. It looks like it'll last at least a year or so. Good job Samsung. Now work on lowering the price.

                                        Ok, IPX6 on a foldable sounds nice, gotta see if it last being water resistant in the long turn though. Moving parts weakens.
