excited to DL this new one UI 3. Lets see how it goes.
Anyway, I have been using this Z fold 2 for a couple of months, I it has grow on me and if 2021 they come out with a version using the S pen, I'm gonna get it for sure.
*
If ZF3 has some meaningful improvements, I would probably upgrade also, after all don't have to pay so much when trade up if they offer great value for Fold 2.

made a further comparison

Non-EPP 512GB
RM 5799.00 (RM6799 - RM600 trade in - RM400 pre-registration e-voucher)

EPP 512GB
RM 5285.98 (RM5985.98 - RM300 trade in - RM400 pre-registration e-voucher)

so the difference would be whether u need the samsung care+ and rm600 add-on evoucher or not. correct me if i'm wrong.
*
I think samsung care+ is quite significant if you are getting the foldable, shit can happen even you don't drop the phone at all time. Price gap is not big if you only want the 1 yr care+, but non-EPP cost lesser if you need 2yrs care+.

Non-EPP also get to buy accessories in bundle with 20% off, so can get some discount for the RM399 s-pen case.

The website quoted RM1000 trade-in value for my fold2, which is still decent offer compared to RM 1300-ish when I checked during fold4 pre-order last year.

Now gonna wait for demo unit to reach local samsung store, but honestly the phone barely change much compared to fold4 imo. What y'all think?

can recommend good casing for fold 5?
*
Depends on your own preference, Spigen got a wide range of casing for Fold 5 with choices like hinge protection, pen slot or kickstand.

This is the most complete one I 've seen so far, except that it is kinda too bulky for me. So I picked the samsung case with s pen and another one with strap/kickstand.

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.

Can 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.
*
Yea, plan to go SES later and ask for exchange. Then I will update here.

The SPen shape is not square but rectangle. When you slot in the SPEN then need to ensure is correct direction or angle else it will drop.
*
If you saw the video, even the pen placed perfectly flat inside the slot, it can drop out with just a slight rotate.

My solution now is to wrap a few layer of transparent tape around the s pen so that it can fit the groove tightly. Samsung customer service says need to wait their technical department to investigate before I can make any claim.

It doesn't, it's a separate strap that the owner stuck to the back of the case as an add-on.
*
Yup, it's just a cheap finger strap from shopee that I put on so that I won't drop the phone and don't have support the bottom of phone with pinky finger, very tired after long use.

Yes. Don't think they will kacau you even you don't arrange for trade-in collection, otherwise just tell them you want to cancel trade-in.

Anyone knows when they will come and contact us about the trade-in device? I haven't gotten any memo about that.

Have you schedule the pick up from the email? I have already received 3 email from instacash to make appointment since I placed order, and first one was immediately come together with the order confirmation. You can whatsapp them if you want trade-in sooner.

I love the multitasking capability of this thing. On my previous phone, I struggled with just two apps open but with this thing, it's a breeze. And to those who say, "Oh, you won't hardly multitask on this level", yes I do, I do so all the time. I enjoy watching content on YouTube while reading Twitter, and taking notes based on what I see and read from said apps.

I watched this spen tricks video yesterday, the note-taking and multitasking of Fold5 really is next-level.

Did anyone manage to exchange the Spen slim case for the fold 5? The loose Spen is a problem as it easily drops out.
*
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=107876355

I totally agree with you. I am waiting for Samsung to create more bigger front screen before next upgrade. I know Samsung want to keep the form factor for us easier to hold on hand. But, I prefer wider front screen and reduce the thickness.
*
Not the only reason. By making the front screen wider change the aspect ratio of the inner screen when flipped open, making it more squarish, not favourable for watching youtube video or movies that are either 16:9 or widescreen due to bigger black box at top and bottom. And also most apps are cater for longer screen instead of squarish, so that will affect the visual on the inner screen also.

what are our other alternatives for s fold 5 case with slim s pen ? most 3rd party brands uses the full rounded ones. and the samsung one sucks (u need to use scotch tape with that 400 bucks shit).
*
Another costly solution is to get a Galaxy Z Fold5 Standing Case with Strap and find another Galaxy Z Fold4 Standing Cover with Pen (cheaper in shopee or buy a used one in carousell?), then strip the pen attachment and put on the Fold5 case. I saw in youtube that the attachment on Fold4 case is compatible with Fold5 case. In that way, you don't have to worry about the stupid slim s pen, but need spend a little more and bear with the more protrude out s pen holder.

Equivalent to berapa rm?

1 point=RM0.03 in rebate at this moment. If you use samsung pay for minimum 20 purchase each month, for 40 points each, 2 years later can accumulate 19k point, giving you another nearly RM600 rebate next time you change phone. But this provided samsung don't change the policy for points value or cap the points redeem.
