I also turned on the Protect Battery function... 8am to 8pm from 85% to 20% sounds about right... if you turn off the Protect Battery function, you probably still have 30%

But generally  i always charge my phone whenever i see a charger...but it has to be Ugreen brand or samsung ones alongside with good cables...

i also set battery protection and it charged till 84%.
usually start from 635am, when 4pm, usually left around 30%, when 7pm, usually left ~15%.
i only did some messaging, websurf, fb, no gaming. 60% screen time.
fyi, i didnt on the battery save feature.
bt on, on wifi 60% of the time, auto brightness, adaptive refresh, dual sim.

i did realized if used single sim, the batt will last a little more.
so if i play battle prime for couple rounds, it will depleted by 6pm / 7pm.

so basically, it somehow able to last a total 12 hrs from the time i unplug it.
*i always bring wireless powerbank with me, for emergency issue
*
Hmm then i guess mine is quite normal then..about 12hrs.. was expecting it to last longer.. oh well

Walked into The Gardens service center, they took my phone to the back and the moment they plugged it into their tester, the inner screen started to flicker and white/green horizontal lines appeared on the right side of the inner screen.

They quickly agreed/confirmed its a manufacturing defect. Have left phone the with them, may be a replacement, may be a repair, either one. 3 to 5 working days, so I'll have to go back to my old Note 9 awhile.

When you shared the story, I know 90% sure samsung service will honor the warranty. Among so many phone service center in MY, people said Samsung is the best.

Although I dont have good experience with them, I know they are still better than others. That's why I feel comfortable to own samsung.

Had a good experience with my last Note 9 many years back. I think it was a screen defect..or was it camera..cant remember. Sent to Samsung SC,checked and got it fixed in less than a week, good as new. Not much fuss or issue.

Guys. Just wondering, how do you guys normally use your Fold series phone? I always see YouTuber demos and ads showing apps opened side by side. I wonder how practical is that/ how often people really need that. Probably I'm not the targeted user but I'm always wondering how useful a foldable is.
*
I use the bigger screen mostly for content consumption eg. youtube, photo gallery, reading ebooks, browsing. Occasionally use side by side multitasking, email & excel, notes. All depends on your usage. Very useful to have both options of smaller and bigger screen. But its really bulky, i say that coming from iphone 13 mini whistling.gif literally like 2 phones stacked on top of each other.

For me, using the S22 Ultra vs the Z Fold, hands down the Z fold is easier to handle and hold. lol
*
Yes...i didnt expect it... but i feels better/nicer to hold than most phones i had, especially on the left hand..the hinge curve sits nicely in the palm. And the narrow front screen makes it easier for one hand usage, but i do get more typos when using two hands to type.. probably very used to IOS keyboard. Any good keyboard suggestions ?

No wonder.. if not mistaken Watch 4 has the functions too. I installed the app but it says no compatible device connected.

Maybe end of this month or in March. Reviews looks good so far, better performance and smoother animations.

i went full apple eco system before coming back to Z Fold. Still using Airpods pro, Apple watch gave to waifu, Still using my mac, still have my ipad mini(now use for my kid since z fold mcm small tab) but i really miss Airdrop and the best hardware/software integration in apple ecosystem everything works well together with minimal input or setting from user. Maybe samsung have some kind of intergration but not as good as Apple i feel.

Can anyone recommend a slim case for Fold4 with hinge protection?

I'm currently using Samsung's slim standing case but it doesn't protect the hinge and it barely protects the camera with its slightly raised bump, plus it's very slippery.

+1

Best case ever..bought 2 cases before settling with this. Good balance of protection and slimness. Got a really good deal during one of the lazada sales...X.X cant remember which month...mcm every month ada lol rclxs0.gif

Just got back my Fold 4.

To my surprise, SC also change the frame (FOC) thumbup.gif  rclxms.gif . I did ask the HQ Staff if I want to change the frame, how much does it cost. He said cannot change just the frame. If change then need to change the whole phone. I know the frame is new because there is plastic stick to the frame just like when I newly got the phone.

On the repair,  according to the technician, below items changed:
1. Motherboard
2. The inner screen
3. the two internal batteries

Camera not change as the error is caused by camera software  hmm.gif 

He said about 90% of the phone changed. Now I got a almost NEW Fold 4.

Btw, for anyone want to send in their phone for service / repair, remember to turn on Maintenance Mode. By doing so your data most likely will be preserved. After you got back your phone then turn off Maintenance Mode.

I did that and now all my programs and data are still in place. No need to reinstall program again.

noice.. so in the end happy ending la ?
