      The Verge $1200 for a flagship chipset (Qualcomm 8-series chipset, no Exynos), at least 512 GB non-expandable or 256 GB with expandable storage, at least 10 GB of RAM, 120 hz screen, and at least decent cameras (not like the S20 Ultra). Anything higher than $1300 and most shouldn’t buy it.

      @BudgetNugs 4 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      This is a good first gen phone. It's not near ready to buy over a normal phone plus tablet. Example: S7+ and Note 20 Ultra. S7+ and OnePlus8 pro. S7+ and xiaomi mi 10 ultra.

      @hardip5523 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      @@BudgetNugs Highly agree. I would consider the first (or second, the re-release) a beta that was put out for people to try if they wanted. This is the true first gen. of the Fold that's market ready. It's definitely not perfect, e.g. no storage expansion, subpar cameras for a $2K phone, no IP rating, outer screen still 60Hz, etc, but I would say this is a really neat attempt at showing what the folding market can really be. Definitely a pass this year but if they make drastic improvements next year or the following, I'll definitely consider it. Hopefully these things don't start costing $3k in the next couple years. Then it just seems like a waste of money.

    Considering the top spec iPhone 11 costs around 1500 dollars, and the iPhone 12 will cost about the same, why not pay extra and have a cool foldable phone? I mean, the first Fold was a mess and not worth it, but this one is actually quite good. For us on the budget side, the iPhone SE and the Pixel 4a are still the best options.

    The screen issue you’re talking about appears to be screen tearing meaning there is no frame buffer and drawing the most current image to the screen before it finishes updating the last image, this is a software problem not hardware. This can be down to a number of factors it can even be down to the browser it self. It’s possible this was done intentionally to reduce latency. It could also be a partial buffer which is why it’s not quite an obvious effect. Regardless this is software bot hardware.

    This is the best Fold 2 video I've seen so far. Great job guys, honestly. As an Apple user, holding off on this thing is getting difficult. If Apple doesn't at least give us 120hz this year on the "Pro" model iPhones, although I probably will still buy the best iPhone, it's getting more difficult to pass up this amazing Samsung hardware. I remember how awestruck I was when the Galaxy S8 came out. It was very difficult passing on those small bezels as an avid user of iOS and MacOS. I just significantly prefer Apple's software. But when the hardware gets so, so, so much better on Samsung devices, it's just hard to keep choosing iPhone for its software. I'm still on the Apple ship, and I'm still willing to pay top dollar for the top iPhone, but sometimes I feel like I'm on the Titanic and the Fold 2 is the lifeboat for which I'll be reaching...

    a phone, or pulled out to (screen extended) to be a tablet.

    In the UK Samsung Z Fold 2 is £1,800 with a storage of 256GB, 12GB RAM, 5G and two edge-to-edge screens, one of which is 7.9" running @ 120Hz designed by the best display maker on the market.
    To put that in to perspective that this isn't a great deal of money for what you are essentially getting when compared to legacy products; Samsung doesn't tend to do well with the "awesome sauce" that Apple excels at, but this is truly a revolutionary product. Just to iterate, the feat of engineering that went in to making this phone, this is glass that folds and held by a hinge that probably costs more than all of the iPhone 11 Pro components combined. What Samsung has achieved here in 2020 is incredible, so a better display of appreciation is warranted.
    Here is the price for an iPhone 11 Pro Max with a single 6.5" display and 256GB of storage in the UK: £1,300.
    So my point is, I don't think anyone should have the audacity to complain about the price of a phone that exists in a segment that barely exists and that Samsung themselves pioneered. In short, it's in a league of its own, so quite frankly, if Apple can charge £300 for a pair of wheels and £1,300 for basic "iPhone", Samsung can charge whatever heck they like as far as I'm concerned!
