Watching this on my Fold 2, such an amazing device! The first phone that I want to call next-gen smartphone or smartphone 2.0!

you guys give the most detailed reviews ever esp when it comes to the little things. Again is even more with your written reviews on your website. Been reading your reviews since 2011 lol back in the days when your reviews had a lil name behind it

Can you provide link to that wall paper, looks great on the fold. Thanks

[shomari]

Great Review... one of the best ones I've seen

I have been using Note10+ and looking to buy another.  If not concerning on budget, and IP68,   which one is more useful, Fold 2 or Note Ultra 5G?

[sunnychoudhry]

Now this is what I call a review. Couldn't find bias, so common with others.

[adingdingdiiing]

I hate that it still has that gap when it's closed.

[umarfarid]

You need to change the screen after using many time and effects from weather, cosmetics and dust, atleast less then a year.

[chellatmouad]

You are more beautiful than the Samsung phone

For me Folding phones still are a very very stupid idea...
I mean, who wants a very thick regular size smartphone or a tablet with a crease right in the middle?
It's ridiculous!

Mi concern... I bought mine and decided to go deep in my wallet and try it because it looked appealing. Well after this UNFINISHED product showed up I've decided after 2 days sent it back. Why? just for simple reasons, as soon as you go thru the unboxing there are some intense warnings about the phone NOT having IP rating, and literally this phone will break and treat it like is a million dollar Ferrari; and do not remove plastic screens it will void your warranty if damaged after that, they state they will install the screen cover if you wish only one time but you need to send it back and pay for shipping and be without the phone until you get it back. The phone is heavy and unpractical, specially for people with vision problems, the resolution is good but is hard to read when closed. Opening the device mechanism is great compared to first Gen but when closed is bulky and unconventional, and remember this phone will need its own space in your pockets because it can be near coins, credit cards or any type of dust and sand. Yes people will get amazed for the factor of the phone, like the same way people see the Hummer owners not because of jealous, oh no is because is an ugly phone. Is like gluing two iPnone 6's or a tape between them and voila!. Within 2 days I was worry if phone was sleeping well, LOL; well is a 2K phone. After checking with T-Mobile insurance for this phone is $25 per month includes damage, accidental and theft is crazy expensive that is another $300 and repairs are NOT free there are deductibles. And lastly there is NO case whatsoever YET that will protect this phone and make it even bulkier. My condense point and personal view. WE are paying for their developing giving us the unfinished product so they can get money and find from us what sucks about it and implement new ideas and see what happens. Is it worth?? NOT my humble opinion.

Been a phone nerd since 1999. Used GSM Arena site heavily in the 2000s. Watching all these reviewers and I saw GSM Arena. SOOOO MUCH BETTER than the standard tech YouTube tech reviews. Way more detailed information. SUBSCRIBED! Good to see you guys again!
