I had a Z Fold 2 for 2+ years before selling it and it was a great phone overall. Didn’t feel like the technology “wasn’t there yet” but it felt like a full fledged product and the built quality was really top notch.

What i agree with is that indeed the inner screen is a gimmick or the foldable idea itself. I found myself using the inner screen mostly for streaming and using the outer screen for literally anything else. Which meant that for 95% of the time I used the outer screen.

I think the Flip series has a way better usecase for a foldable because the fold Idea reduces the size of the “normal way of use” product.

I think the Fold expands on the “normal way of use” so it is easier put it in the gimmick territory.

I still think it is better to just get an Phone + Tablet overall if you want the best of both worlds.

But to be clear, this has been my experience as having had the Z fold 2 as a daily driver for 2+ years.

I am spoiled haha. I had an realme x2 pro since 2018 or 19 and that was already 50watts.

Also got the Realme Gt 5G as an replacement 2 years ago which is 65 watts.

Anything below 50watts seems slow in comparison haha ;).

I see!

I understand for me the big point is the update policy. Just 2 years of OS updates is dissapointing, same as the 30Watt max charger.

But indeed the Headphone jack and SD card functionality are such a big plus.

Thanks for the input!

How do you like it?

Been deciding between an Xperia 1V and s23 ultra.
