12 June 2023
Seems like the bigger size will be put to good use from day one.

Shadocx, 13 Jun 2023Samsung is really one of the best when it comes to Android skins.Makes phones slower than other with same SoC.
Same issue from touchwiz days.
This is lack of competence, not amount of functions.
More fuctions do not make SoC slower.

    Samsung is really one of the best when it comes to Android skins.

      Darth Caesium, 12 Jun 2023The Motorola Razr 40 Ultra's screen is still far bigge... moreYeah Samsung should've cut the weird folder shape and just make it a square

        Rumors are saying, Google and Samsung are engaged and we're invited to their wedding.

          Good move by Samsung. They’ve learned software is everything.

              "Wait, it's all screen?"
              "Always has been"

                They’ve been dating apps are optimized for Galaxy for a long time, yet everything still runs horribly

                That’s Samsung

                  Daemon Targaryen, 12 Jun 2023You can already do this using SamSprung and CoverScreen OS ... moreSupport by native and doing it using apps are different things. Razr 40 is different case since there are three punch holes. Not very good

                      You can already do this using SamSprung and CoverScreen OS on the Flip 3s and 4s. Motorola is still doing this far better since no Samsprung and CoverScreen OS required. Their cover displays dating back to the Razr 2019 are big enough to use most apps on the cover display.

                      Most people will still end up flipping open these flip phones. I can't browse the web or use Dasher from a square. Apps are built mostly in portrait mode.

Way less efficient because of that. Not gonna mention all non optimised app support because of the punch holes. This one is way better

                          jpn4, 12 Jun 2023I agree but at least the screen is getting bigger. I still ... moreYeah, that is a fair judgement. I sincerely hope in a few years' time that these outer screens will end up having under display cameras and either put the flash in one of the bezels or just remove it altogether. If they choose option 2, the screen itself could illuminate the area, acting as the flash. It would certainly be brighter.

I still like the Motorola outer screen better, it looks more premium while this looks more or less of a quick solution "because we had to deal with the camera's somehow".

                              The Motorola Razr 40 Ultra's screen is still far bigger and far more useful. Not attacking Samsung, just pointing out that the weird shape of the outer screen is not doing them any favours.
