 I snapped this at the senheng store. It is the same thing at samsung store and harvey norman. They trade in rebate is higher vs online. The thing that is keeping me from purchasing online is the extra 1 year warranty provided by senheng. That is very attractive.

QUOTE(sanosizo @ Aug 1 2023, 06:25 AM) Foldables are thin. Therefore not enough space to put flagship level camera lense. I would think it is more about the cost. You can see other manufacturers putting in "flagship" camera, example like Huawei. But if samsung would to put in the S23 Ultra camera into the z fold 5, it probably make the device upwards of RM8K - RM9k.

QUOTE(invest2229 @ Aug 6 2023, 10:07 AM) Congrats ! Stay tune tomorrow for latest update maybe someone will start receive tomorrow or next 2 days. I'm from Note 10 jump to Fold 5 probably is a bit excited but those already on Fold series will not eager upgrade to Fold 5 as changes is kind minimum. I'm trading in my Fold 4 to change to the Fold 5. I'm just not confident that the fold 4 screen reliability for the 2nd year. But if you have 2 years warranty, then it is totally no brainer to stick to fold 4. I'm coming from experience of using the Fold 2, it developed micro crack on the screen at the crease areas towards the end of the 1st year and my friend that is using the fold 3 have screen issue in the 2nd year.

I went to the SES to check out the official Spen slim case. It is quite nice and slim. It was better than my expectation.

QUOTE(suilow1991 @ Aug 10 2023, 09:51 AM) So unfortunate that the slim pen case that I received is defective like some other users reported in reddit. The slim pen is loose and can easily fall out from the slot if accidentally rotate it while holding. I wonder got anyone here facing same issue with their s pen case or not? Want to alert so that people who want get the case will reconsider. https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyFold/comment...1&utm_content=2Can you get an exchange for the case? I have ordered a sand color case and I will definitely check for it at the SES when I go to pick it up. I played with the demo Icy blue slim spen case at the store the other day and it was very tight fitting.

Did anyone manage to exchange the Spen slim case for the fold 5? The loose Spen is a problem as it easily drops out.

QUOTE(suilow1991 @ Aug 16 2023, 04:07 PM) I went to local samsung store for exchange but they couldn't do for me because the stock we ordered online is directly from samsung main. They can only call customer service on behalf to report it, but cs replied that they need to investigate with the technical department first and then call me to update on this matter. Sadly they never call back ever since. In the mean time, I just slightly put some fix on the spen with transparent tape so that the pen is fatter and it can hold tight in the groove without dropping out easily. Not very noticeable or affect functionality. Can refer here https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...ost&p=107876355I have done the same thing temporary. BUt I'm trying to place the tape on the case side, but need more finesse to do it. lolx

QUOTE(thamch @ Aug 23 2023, 08:39 PM) Received this case for F5. The back cover it bit thicker to try align to the camera bump. Overall I like it because easier to hold it with single hand because of the hinge support. Why I don't pick Nikin360 because I don't like the design where there is an odd bump at each corner. I like their case. I used it previously for the F2. The only downside no Spen support.

after updating, the gesture for the Taskbar cannot set to invisible denture with swipe in from below for the 3 buttons, home, back, menu. the gesture can only be set to swipe from the 2 corners and center.
Is there anyway to go back to the previous type?

The Fold5 and Flip5 that I currently own is surprisingly in a better condition vs the Fold4 that I had it last year.
The Fold4 and Fold2 that I had previously, both around the 1 year mark, the inner screen protector will start the lift up at the crease. And upon further inspection under the microscope, you can see that there is a micro crack that is starting to develop at the top and bottom side of the crease.
When I saw the microcrack, I trade in both to change to the newer Gen Fold.
But for this Fold5 and Flip5 that was bought during pre-order last year, the SP is still very much intact without any sign of lifting after checking it under the microscope. And there are no microcrack that is detected as well. But don't know about the ribbon cable under the hinge as previous members have mentioned.
But using Fold as a daily driver for the past few years, normal candy bar phones just feel so cramp.

QUOTE(RedDevils88 @ Jul 14 2024, 11:22 PM) I'm switching from S23U to the F6 too! Honestly was reluctant to switch from the S23U coz of the cameras but I really like F6 being smaller and easier to hold. My hands would feel fatigue for holding the S23U for long periods QUOTE(setoyo @ Jul 15 2024, 05:41 AM) From the reading, What im going to miss on s23ultra - Super Fast Charging - Camera Based look and holding the fold6, My heart pounding saying ,"its now!" Hahaha Fold user since fold 2. It is just hard to get back to candy bar after getting a fold. Congrats on your purchase. Indeed when I compare my fold 5 to the fold 6, the crease is less and the outer screen with the new aspect ratio looks better. Even the more squarish corners looks better to me. Enjoy your fold when u get it and hope the cameras are able to satisfied your needs.

QUOTE(suilow1991 @ Jul 10 2025, 04:24 AM) There is trade in discount but you have to select the trade in option to see. Tried choosing my Fold5 and got a RM500 trade in discount, but not sure about other models. And if you register interest earlier you can get RM180 rebate code for free, and pay additional RM10 you can get another RM210 rebate, both can be stacked together.
We also don't get the free credits amount that we can use to offset the cost of accessories anymore. But I think more significant change is the price of the phone itself compared to the benefits we used to have.
If the S Pen is very crucial for your usage then can straightaway skip the Fold7 already.
for existing z fold/flip owners, the samsung care+ is free. need to opt in in the samsung members app. Also free phone charger with LS-FREEGIFT promo code. But the RM180 rebate code never receive even after register a few times. need to check with samaung chat then. Need to use samsung online store due to want to use up the samsung points I have available. This post has been edited by zzzz52: Jul 10 2025, 07:47 AM

QUOTE(suilow1991 @ Jul 10 2025, 08:00 PM) Just played with the Fold7 at Penang gurney paragon samsung store. So thin and so light. A lot more comfortable to hold than my Fold5 because less burden to the hand. Blue colour looks good, silver and black quite ordinary. Agreed with you on it. Further that crease is a very significant improvement comparing it to my Fold 5. Definitely gonna grab one this year after skipping the fold 6. Th3 blue is really nice.
