1TB still with 12gb Ram
Lmfao gt fo, should come with 20gb Ram.
I'd definitely buy if it had s22u features on this with 18gb Ram
I had the S24ultra with 16gb Ram, even still that was less

As someone who enjoys gaming on their phone, I'm impressed by the mention of the powerful processor and dedicated graphics chip. I'd love to hear more about the gaming performance of this device. Are there any specific games that take full advantage of its capabilities?

The service agent will report it as a damaged screen and will replace anything that can be replaced for AED575. I had those same repairs for fold 2 and 3. This time, i thought the phone is tougher because no dings for almost 10months until the screen protector decided its time to bubble. I brought it to Sharjah repair center and to Dubai Mall but they both said if i only wanted a screen protector replaced i needed to go to Butterfly Service Center in Media City otherwise they will have to use care+ and charge me 575 and they will replace the whole screen not just the protector.

My phone wasn't opening fully flat at 8 months and they refused the warranty as there was a small ding on the bezel. Got it done under Care+ for an excess fee of 575 AED. Both screens, both batteries, bezels, hinge, rear panel were replaced. This was at dubai mall samsung.

fd-merlyn, 11 Jul 2023The protective film on the inner display starts to peel off... moreOh no, even if you have the Care+, screen protector replacement isnt covered by that. Also the care+ can only be used once, so youd be wasting it if you only need to replace screen protector. I had to pay about $35 dollars to replace the protector and i had to go to the only ONE service center in the whole of UAE to do that.

Fold series is flop hardware crap. 100 % Fold and Flip series customers faced display issue within 1 year . Product is not at all durable . A big No to Fold phones may be any brand.
Total waste of Money.

Didn't see any improvement to move from Fold 3 to fold 4..same boring design and pretty much same specs..even from leaked pictures i cant see going to fold 5 as there's no point spending soo much money for product whats really lagging behind flagship phones. I don't care if this phone is heawy, need better battery life, without power saving setting i would last only half a day with battery whats really ridiculous. Doesn't look they in rush to improve things fast..all about money milking shit as usually.

GAMIR3DH, 11 Jul 2023Im on the same boat, Google's version feels designed f... moreI agree. I prefer Samsung's apps and solutions. I am annoyed by Google's online/cloud mentality, especially for photos.
I ditched Google Photos because of aggressive backuping and barely no way of seeing taken photos in full quality while being offline. Samsung's Gallery provided my needs perfectly.
I ditched Google Chrome after eating so much RAM and battery in the background. Samsung's Internet Browser provided my needs perfectly.
Etc. Etc.
I admire that Samsung turned their page in software development (well, except for camera processing), they are really at the top of the game now.
But they completely neglected hardware development meanwhile. And it saddens me a bit. Playing it safe is cool and all, but for how long?

Also, looks like I'm the only one here that prefers Google apps over Samsung apps. Even though my daily driver is a Samsung, I replaced most of the Samsung apps there (sometimes "force" uninstall them with ADB) with the Google one.
Galleries? I replaced it with Photos.
Notes? I replaced it with Keeps.
Contacts? I replaced it with the Google one.
Messages? I also replaced it with the Google one.
Samsung Internet? I uninstalled it.
File Managers? I replaced it with Files.
Even I replaced the Calculator and Clock app with the one from Google.
There's 2 reasons: I prefer Material You over any design language from another brand, and it's easier to access that through my PC's browser.

> For 99.9% of daily activities, excluding heavy games, no one can tell the difference between the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 in this phone and the newer Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, don't worry about that.
And yet the most anonymous commenter in GSMArena is still protesting why X phone is using 8+ Gen 1 instead of 8 Gen 2.

Z Fold 5 has really marginal changes this year. Maybe it's only the processor difference that you'd notice, which just makes it not worth compared to this.
