Ima waiting for the razr too. But seeing how limited and not widely available around the world, hard to get below 4K in coming months.
With that midrange specs, people will opt to Z Flip and better quality.

Yeah hopefully next gen will be dual physical sims, not 1 physical + 1 esim like in Fold and Z Flip. But seems unlikely, they tend to follow previous gen in term of compact/minimalist.

I think the Mate XS sales will struggle no matter what - RM11k buys you a pretty good 2nd hand Proton Saga smile.gif

I'm expecting them to drop the prices drastically after 3 months or so.

Here is a picture to lighten the thread. Else it's only review & unboxing videos. laugh.gif

I buy Z Flip first then Fold later. I got intrigued to test the Fold with big screen. The Z Flip flipped is better mechanism than Fold but both are satisfying when open and close.

I thought it already available since early March around 8-10th? Turned out it was a pre-order that time.

Already initiated live chat with them 4 times.

1st - Ask me to walk in MY Samsung store to see if they will help update. I walked in and they informed cant help update if not MY set.

2nd - Asked me to use Smart Switch. Tried but says my software is up to date.

3rd- Got the same agent. Asked me to try Smart Switch again after 24 hours from last attempt. Have not tried. Think thats some bullshit advice. If Smart Switch can then i wouldve gotten the OTA already

4th - Said no other way than to walk in a Samsung SG store.


Zzz not sure whats wrong. Device not rooted or anything. All in stock condition and stuck on November 2019.

the z fold 2 is not getting those N20U camera setup. This is just sad. It would have been a buy if it did so.

Now it is a hard choice if want to get the N20U or not.

The camera on N20U that make it more expensive, if it put on Z Fold 2 it will add more cost and more thicker.

i read an article that Samsung may combine the Note and Fold line; making the Fold have the S-Pen and phase out the Note line since the S line is already being more and more closer to the Note standard (size, camera, performance)

It’s really tempting, get all the attention worldwide more than first gen and the Z Flip.
Also a lot of peeps lean more to this than Surface Duo.

But for me, I will wait few months later maybe 5-6 months later when it reach RM5K mark.

For longer term use, this is the best for now. Just lose points at camera department only.

This freebies somehow doesn't worth that much value to me, should've included free case or maybe additional warranty coverage perhaps instead of the card holder.

Being a Fold 1 user, the Fold 2 is a must-buy! 😁

And congratulations to Sonyclie77 for pre-ordering too. 🥶

Hi, can know this one is choose to ship directly to house from samsung online shop or collection at samsung experience stores? I checked senheng website ETA 22 Sept. So means samsung site may be faster?
Got to go samsung stores to see the actual mystic bronze and mystic black look from previous note 20 only can decide.

In UK there is PWP 30% off for the case, it's quite expensive if buy at retail. Around 79 pound.

Shopee also has it with RM399 price tag. No brown color though.

Ok I just Live Chat with Samsung MY rep, that confirmed pre-order from their website won't get the 1 time crack replacement as per chat below. This can be add later with their package for around RM200+ or with extra 1 year warranty around RM300+

This one is from Urban Republic with 1 time crack replacement extra offer. Extended warranty plan also available.

For Senheng, just need to be a member an entitle to get the extra 1 year warranty iinm.

Hello Samsung elite users.

Wanna get some feedback for those who used z flip before?

Considering to "splurge" for a z flip since its cool (lol). Wanna know more abt real world practicality.

1. Batt life?
2. The flip as an everyday obstacle?
3. Screen issues if any? Like insensitive touch
4. Camera

I bought Z Flip first then bought Fold 9 days later. Used Z Flip for 1 months+ and sold it, compared with Fold I sold it after 3 months+.

I didn't see it as obstacle to use it everyday to flip and close every time. Just that the screen is too small and camera really not that great.
Compact yes very good, it really get an attention everywhere you go. The sounds to flip and close really satisfied in some way.
The crease? It's not bothering me, but sometimes like to touch the crease and feel it laugh.gif
No screen issues and battery life is okay for me as I don't see SOT as my main focus to buy a phone.

The best feature of Z Flip that implemented on Z Fold 2 is let it still on the table and snap a picture or taking video.

Fold can get below 4.5k used on FB marketplace. Dont settle for small screen like Z Flip which can get cheapest around 4.1k -ish.

The device does come with 1-year screen crack warranty by Samsung Malaysia, under Galaxy Z Premier service (if I am not wrong). Maybe the CS you spoke with was confused with the regular screen crack warranty for most Samsung phones. 😅

Alamak. Forgot to reply you guys earlier. Cause didn’t track this topic. My bad. 🙏🏼
Well said, bro. If Fold 1 had a larger outer screen, I would just keep using my Fold 1 this round. 😅
I chose to ship directly to me from Official Samsung Online Store. You can notice that my Pre Order confirmation page showed ‘Shipping on 19th September’ already. 👌🏼
Thanks, bossku. Hope you get yours soon too! 🤩
The device does come with 1-year screen crack warranty by Samsung Malaysia, under Galaxy Z Premier service (if I am not wrong). Maybe the CS you spoke with was confused with the regular screen crack warranty for most Samsung phones. 😅

Ya wth with samsung CS.

For those who get theirs, please share some photos about the MB card holder.
How it looks like, how many cards it hold and can cash be put in or not. Thinking to go light with my wallet. Currently using full long wallet.

Dont regret, this is by far the best foldable phone. It cant be on par or better in term camera compared with S20U /Note 20U, but overall it's the best.

Happy Monday Morning, Guys! 😁

Had a pleasant surprise from Samsung earlier today.

Can’t wait to unbox ASAP today to test this beast out. 🤩
*
Possible to provide feedback as follow?

1. With the aramid case on, when place the fold on a flat surface, will it wobbled when pressed. If without any case, it will wobble because of the camera. Will the case stand height level off the camera height?

2. Will the case stand itself interfered with the wireless charging?

3. Is the case stand provide a stable hold for scrolling & typing when holding the phone on the unfolded position?

Thanks.

Opted for self collect at UR store. I called the branch personally and they said the phones have arrived but tmr 10am onwards only can collect because the official launch is tmr. So I guess it should be the same for Samsung stores.

Going in full steam with this beast. Looking for a Pad to run it as a dedicated PC Samsung Dex PC, Wireless Dex works on the aging Samsung TV , but even the pop up notification says it’s an old TV with not optimal experience. Dex Pad will fix that, Fold lays flat on the pad as trackpad, charges the Fold with additional USB ports for USB peripheral, and built in fcooling for the Fold 2 while running Dex desktop. Plan to get foldable keyboard with trackpad to navigate around Dex desktop, as for games, PS4 controller works fine.

So at home: becomes dedicated Dex PC with wired mouse and keyboard if necessary thanks to the Dex Pad. HDMI to TV. Wireless mouse keyboard for working from sofa. Wireless Dex if really lazy to plug in and just wanna check out mails on larger screen.

Outside: portable G-Story USB-C thin and light monitor powered by USB-C power bank. Foldable keyboard with trackpad.

Or light setup: just use the Fold with the Aramid kickstand case.the screen large enough already. Foldable keyboard with trackpad. PS4 controller for light gaming.

zdorovo!

What do you use it primarily for?

I consume a lot of media and play games and I am kinda worried of pressing too hard.

Media consumption and productivity work. If i can work with the screen i do it on the Fold, otherwise i use the portable USB-C monitor. Easier to edit photos using Lightroom on a 15 inch canvas. I can still do spreadsheet or writing walls of text on the Fold itself + foldable keyboard, so it's a mix and match. some days just the fold with portable keyboard + mouse/trackpad , some days with the USB-C monitor. If im at home, theres Dex with Dex Pad Piped to the big screen TV.

Im babying the fold too myself but looking at my usage pattern, I'll be comfotable with using it like normal after 2 weeks. No point keeping it babied if not used proper. Or pair a mouse with it and never press any screen, keeping it new. biggrin.gif

Yea, I immediately put on the aramid cover once the plastic wrap is removed. Anyways, the inside and the cover screen are also full of fingerprints due to the plastic screen protector.
Can obviously feel the heavier weight compared to normal phone, just used it to play games awhile with one hand and the wrist starts to feel tired.

Just collected mine this afternoon. Had a busy time moving everything from my Note 10+ to this new baby. A folding screen is so wonderful! Haha. Never been so excited since the Note 1 came out as the largest screen for that time. Reading manga and watching netflix on this is awesome! Sound is super clear too. Didn't quite like the Buds Live. Im already having the Sony NC Earbuds anyway which sounds better.

Watched some reviews saying that the buds live isn't impressive also. Haven't unbox it yet because I still using another pair of old buds. Feel like reselling the free Mb card holder and the buds live to reduce the cost since they are not useful to me anyways but not sure if anyone would want the those.

-1 for the aramid cover also. The material, texture and build are decent, but it really doesn't look like giving the device enough protection.

I guess I’m the only one excited for the Dex feature. Just got my portable foldable keyboard with track pad, and even with the unoptimised Wireless Dex with the old Samsung TV I had, the mouse tracking is faster on the paired foldable keyboard with trackpad than running my fingers on the Fold cover screen, smudging it further. Only need the Dex Pad to arrive from Taiwan bought on shopee, already shipped less than 24 hours from the minute I clicked Buy. Only need to keep an HDMI port open in every roomTV I move around, the Dex Pad is as big as Note only and with USB-C power bank I always carry around, that’ll power the Fold snug in the Pad, add in the foldable wireless keyboard, I’m set. Computing everywhere with Samsung Dex, zdorovo!

Still have not unboxed the Buds Live, or the Mont Blanc thing. Too impressed with the Fold and what it could do.

It will take some time getting use to this device. I got a shock when I first started using the device last night till now

The front cover screen does allow you to get the job done but just barely due to its narrow screen

The real magic however is when you unfold the phone. The inner display is just awesome.

Now just need to find moft a stands so I can use it even more confidently when unfolded

But yeah one-handed use isn't too bad—I kind of like it when it's folded.
Unfolded, on the other hand, is much difficult.

Using one handed I keep pressing the vol down to turn off/on the screen. Because last model which is Fold, there is a power button in the middle between volume buttons and fingerprint reader. Also the buttons placement is a bit lower.

If anybody interested in that Mont Blanc card holder drop me a PM, we can work out an agreeable price. Let'd just say I'm not the target audience for things like this or the fancy Concierge service with meals in fancy settings, so rather than it stays ribbon-tied in its fancy packaging with ribbon tie, better for it to go to a new owner that can appreciate it for what it is. I'm just not that person. If you wanna look it up, it's called "Mont Blanc Urban Racing Spirit Pocket 5cc".

Investigating Wireless Dex on the Fold, I'm obsessed with it. Dragged ethernet cable to the TV, the lag seems gone,so that's an option if I wanna stay wireless while using Dex. Still sticking with the plan on Dex Pad though....

For those looking to ease single hand operations on the fold, you can look for Good Lock app on Galaxy Store. It includes tons of customisation options including app resizing to tame misbehaving apps like Instagram.

Good Lock is restricted iseveral market Galaxy Store. Malaysia not included in that market, so you need to VPN in to access.

I use Windscribe VPN, set it to Dallas, US Central.

Force close and clear all data on Galaxy Store. Restart Galaxy Store with the VPN dialled in to Dallas server, you will see Good Lock.

It finally gives full screen Instagram to me, and one hand operation by moving the cursor right to far left top corner even with you thumb still working on the bottom right corner in single hand operation.

Also changed the colour theme of the notification shade to match the Mystic Bronze, or you can make your own based on your colour theme/ wallpapers you’re using.

Endless customisation from aesthetics to advanced features.

Mont Blanc Urban Racing Spirit Pocket 5cc card holder still available. Still in its fancy ribboned packaging. Hit me up on PM if interested. Also in PM I wouldn’t be hit with the 3 post restrictions, so if you need help in getting Good Lock, we can chat there in PM.

Aramid caase to me it's functional. The fact that I can prop the Fold up with the kickstand without another stand is worth it enough for me. Until my case of choice (still on preorder phase, not shipping) is shipping, even that also I'm not pre-ordering because I'm wary of any case with front cover screen protection, since a lot of off-screen gestures from the side will be blocked by cases covering the front on the side. I'm gonna let others get it first and review it first before I even consider getting. The Aramid allows me to not to be overly cautious with handling the Fold, like when it's naked. That will help in gaining confidence when Im used to the Fold's weight with single hand handling. Doing lots of finger gymnastics and with the case on, I'm slowly but surely getting used to handling it even unfolded, with the added confidence of knowing the case is there at the back when I overly grip the Fold tightly. biggrin.gif

So I'm in no hurry to get the perfect case, as long as there's a case to protect the Fold. Will wait for others to be the beta testers for all new cases coming out with review, I'm not gonna risk damaging my 8k phone just to be the first. I'm not gonna risk getting dubious protection from unknown casemaker brands either , its an 8k phone, the least you can do is get a case that's made by the manufacturer of the phone itself. Just my 2 Russian kopeks/2 sen opinion. smile.gif

Someone wanna take a look at the VRS Design case for Fold 2? I’m eyeing this intensely but I need confirmation that the front case doesn’t click edge swipes. If it does then I’m in.

Love the futuristic design. Making the Fold look like a device that comes from the future.

While waiting for UAG, I am currently using this Shopee

The front screen cover is too thick and block me from swiping the top bar for notification a lot. Hopefully UAG or Spigen has thinner front cover bezels to make it more comfortable to use.

I always like and use thinnest case possible. I saw some cases in Shopee got what i want but still waiting for seller to reply whether front case included or not. If not, not worth it.

Mine is bubbling on the side. Exactly at the side where the edge panel is swiped in. After this happened I used Good Loxk to “swipe from anywhere on the side, not that particular side spot only, but I know sooner or later I’ll have to peel off that screen protector on the front cover screen.

Just got my Fold 2. So excited 😁 and still being cautious and careful when using the inner screen. The 'glass' feels a bit soft unlike normal glass on a phone.

Still looking for a case. Was trying to find the brown leather case but not available anywhere.

Found the white dome protector in Google also, but it's tempered glass using UV glue. My concern is the glue overflow might be a problem if not taped the sides well, seeing that the fold have no ip rating. But that could be just my skill problem.

I suggest you dont use anything that come with glue for normal SP or tempered glass.
I've had issue with it even asked the shop to installed it for me. This happened with my S10+ last year. Their first try failed, glue too little. Try a second time, glue overflowed to earpiece speaker. No issue right as the phone is IP68. Clean the phone with water thoroughly until no sticky on any part of the phone. After let it dry completely, try youtube for speaker test, it blown. Crackling sound only at the earpiece speaker. Sent to Samsung and gets repair. Never again for me.

2nd time, bought Mi 10 Pro, previous owner already installed it with curved-glued tempered glass on it. Still can see bubbles every corner and can still glues sticking out. Throw away the tempered glass.

That’s not wrong by the way. Corporate price always cheaper and been doing since long time ago?
The problem is the one selling it with the said price, known to public and this price is printed in everyone’s mind to be the cheapest to get.
When someone is selling their used set for 6.5k-7.5k, it become hard to sell because of this.

Yeah, i guess you are right. Corporate EPP always have discounts, but maybe not so sakit gigi if only 10-15% discount...but 25% really like cabut gigi lo...hahaha...some more so soon after launching...

For Fold1, Corporate EPP never had any discounts earlier on, that's why I pre-ordered the Fold2... sad.gif

Well, nvmd...time to move on and enjoy the device... icon_rolleyes.gif

I just got the brown leather official cover. The brown shade and quality are OK but definitely not worth the current price of RM399. Really cutthroat price considering that it's just a single piece of case to protect the back of the device.

What luck, kak povezlo!! If you have the official Nintendo Switch Charging Stand (this one https://store.nintendo.com/adjustable-charg...ndo-switch.html)with variable angle, it fits the Fold 2, on portrait mode folded! With the Aramid case its even a nice snug fit. The best part is that this stand charges your Fold 2 with that USB-C port angled outward on the side, just plug in your charger or power bank there, even when the Fold is standing tall in portrait mode.

I also use an old Wii U Game Pad Stand ( this one https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/ima...SL._SL1000_.jpg), not the charging cradle, just the stand for the Game Pad. Fits the Fold 2 in portrait mode folded, or enfolded!

Moral of the story, never throw away old stuff they may come in handy. laugh.gif

I also have a tablet stand that folds smaller but that I use for the Switch. It fits and works too as a stand for Fold 2 ( this one https://shopee.com.my/Foldable-Swivel-Phone...8925.2250107690).

Or use the Aramid Case as intended. tongue.gif But the accidental discovery that the small official Nintendo Switch Charging Stand works with Fold 2 with that 90 degrees angled outward USB-C port allowing charging even the Fold is in portrait mode standing tall, is a pleasant surprise.

You can try using a VPN and connect to a US server (or a server in a Good Lock supported country) as described by a forumer a few pages back. Or it could be faster and less painful to download NiceLock (from Play Store) and its NiceLock Downloader Companion (open Nice Lock app after install, go to XDA support thread to download this app as it cannot be downloaded from the Play Store) to download, install and configure Good Lock modules.

My collection of (mostly) cheap and nasty cases, purchased from Shopee and Lazada (I got one more cheap one on the way, so not shown here, but looks like a super cheap version of item D)

user posted image
user posted image
user posted image
user posted image

My thoughts on each case:
A
Second most expensive after item C. Plain smooth plastic, no patterns on back cover. Easy to snap on and remove. Makes the phone look like a real cheap whore.

B
Most expensive of the lot at > RM100, purportedly made in Korea. Faux leather, one piece "book-type" case which covers entire phone. Criss-cross pattern. A real biatch to put on and remove as the sides are made of thick plastic and you may lose a fingertip or two when trying to remove it, not to mention your phone may go flying if you are a bit over-enthusiastic while removing the case.

But this is the most practical of the cases here and my favourite as it really covers the entire phone. When opened, the front flap will cover the front screen when you hold the phone like a book, thus avoiding even more fingerprints, grease, and undesirable other-whatnots on the front screen. The case gives a good grip. Protects the phone when in a pocket or bag full of keys or other objects which may damage the screen.

Downsides are that it makes a thick phone even thicker. The cutout for the microphone at the bottom next to the USB-C port is not aligned 100%. The felt-ish material on the inside front cover attracts dust like a whorehouse attracts oil rig workers coming ashore after 2 years at sea. Oh, and did I mention it's a pain in the behind to put on and remove?

Search for "araree fold 2" in Lazada for this case.

C
Cheapest of the lot and it shows. No front frame. Easy to put on and remove. Shows the colour of your phone because it's transparent. Not really practical, I bought it just for shits and giggles.

D
Comes with front frame and back cover supposedly made of real leather. Smells like real leather to me too, but my olfactory senses aren't what they used to be 30 years ago. Easy to put on and remove as the sides are made out of thinner plastic compared to item B.

Downsides are that the front frame is thick (see third and last pictures) and therefore touching and swiping edges of the front screen is going to be an exercise in patience.

I got items A, C and D from Shopee, just do a search for "fold2" or "fold 2", new items are added daily, and prices can fluctuate a bit too.

Finally, put a protector on the back camera lens bump. While case B may protect the entire phone, the camera lens still need protection if you plan on putting the phone on the surface.

Hope this helps those who are looking for their "perfect" case.

I've already stopped babying my Fold 2. New case from VRS Design shipping out on 7th Oct. Got a waterproof, padded neoprene on the inside pouch from Amazon from Onejoy.

Even installed Youtube Vanced from vanced.app . Started customizing wallpapers, static or live video from WallPix, got a promo code for Pro edition of WallPixfor free. I wanted so badly to buy and install Civilization VI, that game will be glorious slavnyy on the large unfolded screen of the Fold 2,...... but device not supported.

Not sure. There will be 10.10, 11.11, 12.12 and Christmas New Year sale on every online shopping platform. Samsung may include this device as on sale, who knows.

I have it from my previous Samsung phones. Honestly speaking I have a lot of USB A-C cables due to last time hunting for 'compatible' cables just to make my Android Auto worked. But Samsung one is the most flexible and compatible for Android Auto on my Samsung phones.

Sure it will one. If you wait for Apple to drop prices then that takes some time. Samsung or any other Android phones will definitely go under sale with a bit of discount if you're willing to wait. Only early adopters pay for full price.

I bought mine from SenQ and it comes with additional 2-year warranty FOC, and i didn't pay full price either. SenQ points, Maybank Treat Points and i got it at a very good price. Otherwise i think I'd wait as well.

Given by Samsung to their corporate clients or thru Samsung staff...

If you have friends/family working in any of the big telcos or partner SES companies or some of the big MNCs/GLCs then they might be entitled the the Corporate EPP.

Samsung management staff might even get a better deal...wink.gif

The pricr you have to pay to play fullscreen. Had to use GoodLock to enable fullscreen. I can play around with other aspect ratio, but you have to tolerate letterboxing . Until Aspyr officially support Fold 2 as one of the supported device as per this list (https://support.aspyr.com/hc/en-us/articles...pported-Devices) , you'll have to play around with GoodLock to get fullscreen with that cut off area. If anyone can get better result, please share your settings.

Here is a gentle reminder for new Z fold 2 owners in case some are not aware:

Urban Republic called me on purpose to go redeem the inner screen crack protection in Samsung Members app as it's not the same as the one year warranty given to the phone. So in case some of you are notified, just go to the app and find the banner with the folding phones and do the redemption.

Ignore this if you already done it, may be can pin it if many are not aware.

The dealer did it for me when I purchased.

The way Samsung market it as 1 time screen replacement is quite misleading cause normally people would think its free but in actual it costs us rm600 service fee.

Meaning to say even though the inner screen is covered under the 1-year screen cracked warranty, when it comes to replacing it we will still be charged for RM600?

Bronze was available earlier, I guess all sapued already by the EPP buyers...but yeah, RM5999 is a very very good price.

I see got advertisement for sale of brand new sets @RM6,599 in Carousell, delivery only after 9th Oct - which is the exact delivery time for EPP sets - so there are ppl actually buying these EPP sets to sell for profit...

Can be OOS also, like the Fold2 bronze...anyway I think this 25% disc for the Fold2 is from the 23rd to the 30th only, under the "Flash Deals" promo. After that, might reduce to 15% only for EPP (my guess only)...haha

From what I observe, the discount for EPP varies for different models and changes from time to time.

From my side I see Tab S7 is around RM2,800. Your EPP level must be higher...smile.gif

I called in about the screen replacement and they said its because the screen costs more than RM2K to replace, so that RM650 is a reduced rate. Definitely not a free one-off replacement. Probably coz in the case of the first Fold the case incident was free as it was much more critical than Fold 2.

I've also checked if an extended warranty would help. You can get extended warranty from Samsung Service Center, from SES or purchased separately from Solead, who carry out these warranty repair, from here (https://www.solead.store/collections/hhp-protection-plan), although the Fold 2 is so new, it's not yet listed there. To be safe head to your SES. After reviewing what's covered by these warranty and current one year warranty we have on our Fold 2s, I deduced that it's not worth getting extended warranty, because most the covered under warranty free-no-charge when replaced are perishables parts like buttons and stuff like that. Anything more you'll have to fork out money. Really poor warranty coverage, you better take care of your Fold 2s. I've no problem with taking care of my stuff, I've had my old phone taken care (with no screen protector and only a slim case, it's been nearly 4 years and it looks new, no scuff, no scratches. I guess it depends on the person. If you're working construction site, just use a Nokia. not Fold, unless you want to constantly worry about your phone. laugh.gif

I managed to fix Civilization VI , now running perfectly in full screen, just had to enable "run app in tablet mode to see more" in "Display" Settings.The reason it was visuals were cut off in previous attempt is due to Civ VI while rotated to landscape to full screen, it was trying to avoid the punchhole camera area, so it cut off a section if the Civ VI resolution running in full screen. Not anymore! biggrin.gif

Was ordering via EPP and at that time only Black was available. After payment, i saw that Bronze is also available. So ordered that as well smile.gif

Once I receive my orders, Black one will be for sale.

If anyone has ordered via EPP - how soon was it delivered?

You can try using a VPN and connect to a US server (or a server in a Good Lock supported country) as described by a forumer a few pages back.  Or it could be faster and less painful to download NiceLock (from Play Store) and its NiceLock Downloader Companion (open Nice Lock app after install, go to XDA support thread to download this app as it cannot be downloaded from the Play Store) to download, install and configure Good Lock modules.

Not that I'm currently aware of. Just install NiceLock and its downloader companion app, and install the Multistar module. Go into this module, set the ratio of the Insta app to 4:3 and it should expand to fill the entire screen. If you have the time, do explore the other modules as well, there are a lot of useful features in there. I'm just shocked that Samsung decided to only limit the Good Lock app to a few select countries mad.gif

Saw this gold hinge black body in reddit, the phone looks damn elegant. Too bad we don't get the option to customize ourselves, else I don't mind waiting longer for it.

I still can't find a good case with the front case. Spigen took too long to arrive from amazon.

QUOTE(wr6969 @ Sep 27 2020, 10:32 AM)
My collection of (mostly) cheap and nasty cases, purchased from Shopee and Lazada (I got one more cheap one on the way, so not shown here, but looks like a super cheap version of item D)

user posted image
user posted image
user posted image
user posted image

My thoughts on each case:
A
Second most expensive after item C.  Plain smooth plastic, no patterns on back cover.  Easy to snap on and remove.  Makes the phone look like a real cheap whore.

B
Most expensive of the lot at > RM100, purportedly made in Korea.  Faux leather, one piece "book-type" case which covers entire phone.  Criss-cross pattern.  A real biatch to put on and remove as the sides are made of thick plastic and you may lose a fingertip or two when trying to remove it, not to mention your phone may go flying if you are a bit over-enthusiastic while removing the case.

But this is the most practical of the cases here and my favourite as it really covers the entire phone.  When opened, the front flap will cover the front screen when you hold the phone like a book, thus avoiding even more fingerprints, grease, and undesirable other-whatnots on the front screen.  The case gives a good grip.  Protects the phone when in a pocket or bag full of keys or other objects which may damage the screen.

Downsides are that it makes a thick phone even thicker.  The cutout for the microphone at the bottom next to the USB-C port is not aligned 100%.  The felt-ish material on the inside front cover attracts dust like a whorehouse attracts oil rig workers coming ashore after 2 years at sea.  Oh, and did I mention it's a pain in the behind to put on and remove?

Search for "araree fold 2" in Lazada for this case.

C
Cheapest of the lot and it shows.  No front frame.  Easy to put on and remove.  Shows the colour of your phone because it's transparent.  Not really practical, I bought it just for shits and giggles.

D
Comes with front frame and back cover supposedly made of real leather.  Smells like real leather to me too, but my olfactory senses aren't what they used to be 30 years ago.  Easy to put on and remove as the sides are made out of thinner plastic compared to item B.

Downsides are that the front frame is thick (see third and last pictures) and therefore touching and swiping edges of the front screen is going to be an exercise in patience.

I got items A, C and D from Shopee, just do a search for "fold2" or "fold 2", new items are added daily, and prices can fluctuate a bit too.

Finally, put a protector on the back camera lens bump.  While case B may protect the entire phone, the camera lens still need protection if you plan on putting the phone on the surface.

Hope this helps those who are looking for their "perfect" case.

Fold 2 linked to Windows desktop wirelessly using the Your Phone app on Win10 and Link to Windows settings on the Fold. Less need to swipe up and tap screens when I'm around my PC.

Onejoy phone pouch, with insides lined with padded neoprene, arrived from Amazon. I'm sure I could get this locally but I've some gift cards lying around unused, just enough for the pouch plus shipping here. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08CZLJL7...0?ie=UTF8&psc=1.

Waterproof, and if you're worried about those YKK zippers catching and scratching your precious Fold, the zipper zips open right until the bottom of the pouch, pouch opens wide for Fold to enter without worry of zipper. Comes with carabiner attachment at the back. Reason for getting this? I dont trust my pockets. Pocket lint and sands. With this, I can chuck it into my carry-across-the-chest-bag. Answering phone calls, not troublesome meh to unzip and take out from pouch? Galaxy Buds Live. wink.gif

Why not get a phone holster then? easy access on the belt. With the extra weight og the Fold 2, I dont trust holster. PLUS, I'm not Uncle Roger. laugh.gif

Now waiting for the last piece of the puzzle, the VRS Design case, the Hard Drop Active Case. They're having a BOGO (Buy One Get One free) case sale on all iPhone and Samsung cases! Too bad Fold 2 cases isn't BOGO.

I see no point to peel off a good protection for the inner screen considering that there is no better replacement now, but you can just peel it carefully without worry if you're tempted to do so.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

So that’s my take on the Dex Pad. You could go the cheaper route with generic USB-C hubs , I’d like to hear your experiences if you do, if it works I’ll get one of those for the other rooms in the house. Until then, I choose to trust manufacturer made accessories.

It's the uv glue tempered glass, the process looks tedious but actually very easy to execute, especially this one have the kit to help.

Reportedly it is not very compatible with the spigen case by some posts in reddit because the edge will slightly lift up the case due to overlap.

Hopefully it wont void the warranty if something bad happen to the screen. They may use this excuse to reject the claim. I dont trust these corporate T&C, like previously IP67/68 first from Sony and until now is the same. If water damaged, warranty is void even it's IP67/68.

There is no restriction for ZF2. It's governed by your overall smartphone quota. I have bought two .. one of it is wrong colour.

Flip side is, you can not change or cancel the order once paid.

Tear my cover screen SP off yesterday and stick the x.one stealth armor SP I bought from lazada. I wouldn't say the quality is as strong as glass, but I personally feel better than the stock SP, although I didn't take my phone to hammer nails or scratch it with key to test out.

It does adhere to the screen area very well, but I was a bit careless this time and left a very tiny dust which I noticed after I had done everything...

Same. I only flip it open when I am in office or home.

Otherwise the outer screen is good enough.

I have Aukey PA-Y13 74.5W, doesn't show super fast charging like samsung stock charger, only fast charging.
It has 9V 3A, but doesn't have the 11V on Samsung charger, so probably that's why can't charge at max speed.

Honestly the inner screen is never my concern because it is protected when folded. Even when you use the inner screen, you probably won't glide the screen with your fingernail also.
But it still depends on how you use it, bcoz I mostly use the inner screen for videos or browsing only, so I'm not so worried compared to outer side of the phone that are more exposed.

This one I tested with Aukey PA-Y13 on it's USB-C PD. Can see "fast charging" compared to "super fast charging" below.

user posted image
This one is using the original charger that came with the phone.

Overall, roughly 15mins slower according to estimation from 16%-100%. You can consider this if you don't mind the difference.

Never had to care or contend with fast charging or slow charging. My Fold 2 stays charged like a desktop PC is, in the Dex Pad, when I need to be outside, the USB-C PD powerbank does the job. I’ve the Anker charger too but that’s permanently on a Nintendo Switch in the game room. Or maybe I can swap that out and let it use its own Nintendo charger. Or maybe I can use the Nintendo Switch official charger as the charger for the Fold 2, it’s USB-C PD, would the Fold gets fast charging from it?

Am glad that I had the Switch earlier, I’ve done my fair share of searching for fast charging for that, that should cover the need for Fold 2 charging as well.

For the time my current setup with the Dex Pad kept it charged, despite the charger that comes with the Dex Pad not chasing it turbo-speed while in Dex mode(to prevent overheating, coz Dex already generated plenty of heat multitasking, you don’t wanna compound the issue further with stressing the batteries (and descreasing battery lifespan) with fast charging. I’ll take steady constant charging over fast charging. I dont mind abusing the Switch with fast charging, it’s only 1k to replace. The Fold however is 8k.

Which is why I explained my usage pattern/need. Agree that your need may differ than mine.

So which super duper ultra turbo fast charger is recommended for Fold 2? I'm gonna file that info under "good to know" in my case. I personally (did I covered all the disclaimers?) still dont need super fast charger in my usage pattern. The bundled charger works for my needs. Good to know info to get everyone else's experience with these super fast charger before I ever needed one. Let other beta-test first. I love my Fold 2, its to expensive for me to take a gamble on it. Pardon my overprotectiveness of the device, I rarely spend this much on something like this. Poor man mentality perhaps.

On your previous used on Note 9, would you able to export the recording file? I never try recording app from Samsung. Last time I use S8 Pirates of the Caribbean China set there is recording button for phone app. But never try.

The term fast charge was quite subjective. In fact if you check samsung original charger for fold 2, i believed its only 45W (im not border about the rating) and its charging my fold 2 quite fast.

If you talking about 65W, you need to get high performance cable to speed up the charging as well which i have baseus 65W with the cable for my MBP

In my previous note 9, I can export the recording easily.

Best to use the native built in recording function. All third party recording app will not work perfectly.

GL won't work even if you sideload the apk. You will encounter network error even after installation.

Try this guide, it's simple and straightforward:

Mine can't and it says can't start video call. Weird...

Any suggestion for prepaid esim that works with fold 2? Preferable the ones that doesn't use Celcom backbone as their network. After the last outage i want to diversify so that i dont lose connectivity whatsoever.

Also preferably, prepaid sim that doesn't require going to a store to set up. I notice, Yoodo and XOX allows esim setup wholly by their apps, but they use Celcom as their backbone network.

Nord. It was between NordVPN or ExpressVPN, but the deal they had recently just expired was too sweet to pass up. 85% discount for a year service with TEN device connection, plus they accept crypto payment so it's no brainer. Used the least profitable crypto coin I had that NordVPN accepted as payment, kautim. No banks needed/required. In fact on that day where Celcom network went busted and I cant even get MSOS code or OTP code to my phone, that crypto payment works flawlessly, and is proof that banks are obsolete, and digital cryptos are the future. biggrin.gif

Couple that with NordLynx protocol, its basically trouble free connection to these streaming services. With the usual TCP/UDP VPN protocols, its either hit or miss, with many retries. With NordLynx its smooth sailing. I still use TCP/UDP VPN settings to set up the Asus RT-AC5300 router, so the whole wifi network at home is as if I'm surfing from the States, complete with annoying spam ads tailored for US market laugh.gif (open Youtube see StateFarm or NBA ads, until I slap on adblocker tongue.gif ), but with just the router set up with TCP/UDP, mostly only HBO MAX and Disney+ works without a hitch. To open Hulu or get Netflix US content reliably without Hulu or Netflix US erroring out, I use the Nordlynx protocol, only available via their VPN activated via their apps (Available for Windows, iOS and Android).

Any suggestion for prepaid esim that works with fold 2? Preferable the ones that doesn't use Celcom backbone as their network. After the last outage i want to diversify so that i dont lose connectivity whatsoever.

Also preferably, prepaid sim that doesn't require going to a store to set up. I notice, Yoodo and XOX allows esim setup wholly by their apps, but they use Celcom as their backbone network.
*
None others. Digi best suits me but need to go to Digi Store to apply/reapply.

Im using Yoodo, XOX, Tunetalk and the only reason i need other than Celcom piggyback is certain place in my area Celcom network is really bad. The outage few days ago really shocked me and lucky i have backup which is Digi.

Im using YES for iPad Pro, this telco is better than Digi IMO but lack of supported phones and bad in rural areas. Their speed always faster for me, no buffer.

Another note on Yoodo, i had use esim on my XR previously and i sold the phone. I need it to be in physical sim as the phone no esim only dual sim (Redmi K30 Racing Edition). It's really easy, just order blank sim card, arrived in 2 days than register the blank sim with my number. Done in a jiffy. Yoodo really takes a step ahead in esim and app department.

After 16 days using the phone naked, today arrived el cheapo cases. I might use only back case later as when using the front screen, it feels small with that casing borders. Too thick too.

Since the internal screen is easier to get greasy and need delicate thing to wipe with, i have to bring this microfiber cloth everywhere. Usually just use wearing shirt to wipe. Last time on Z Flip, had 1 nail scratch, maybe happened when i open it with one hand. This time need to be really careful.

Me also just received the cheap cover today. Tried to put on the front cover because I already have the aramid cover on the back.
The profile of the frame is so thick and near the edge of the screen, making swipe-in gesture for BACK literally impossible, either from left or right side. Same goes to the edge panel for multitasks.

As a result, have to give up using this case that makes life more difficult. Now waiting for another case that was recommended in reddit to ship from China. So hard to find a suitable front cover. Samsung really should have made the cover together with the front screen part and not left us with the phone protected half way... doh.gif

I suppose you meant number 1:

1) open camera with cover screen> tap top right corner > unfold > take selfie using rear camera looking at cover screen

2) open camera with inner screen > tap top left corner > ask someone take photo for you while having a preview on cover screen (no capture button)

Yeah I mean how to do number 1 while using the inner screen? Instead of folded the phone and turn on camera and unfold again to activate.

Finally got my Samsung black leather case, the leather texture is nice to the touch. The case is good enough for me offering protection at the back of phone with raised camera cut out.

Don't think you can do number 1 without starting from cover screen, so yea, fold and unfold again. Or you can do number 2 and use hand gesture (show give me 5 to the camera) to capture selfie yourself since the cover screen have no shutter button for you to press that way.

Ok Samsung CS just called me regarding all the warranty available from them.

- 1 year inner screen protection is FREE (Redeemable via Samsung app; if broke still need to pay RM600 as full price is almost 2K)
- 1 year extended warranty is RM580 (Certain hardware that need to be repair or replace still need to pay some like screen above)
- 1 year back glass replacement is RM95 (Valid for 1 month from phone purchase date to buy this service)

Combo RM1645 (Valid for 6 months from phone purchase date to buy this service)
- 1 year inner screen protection
- 1 year extended warranty
- 1 year front and back glass protection
- 1 year theft protection

Will pin this in 1st post later

Worth it?
For me not worth at all. As it only valid for 1 year. Im going to use this phone until fully damage laugh.gif

Careless owner shouldnt be using this phone at all or to minimize the damage they need to use tank case

As this phone really delicate even nail will scratch it laugh.gif

Extended warranty seems fair to me. 2 years and only pay some money if repaired/replaced some hardware.

Not worth it. What is a warranty if it doesn't cover the cost of repairing them? The amount you're paying them for these service, I see it as the charge to repair them. Looking at my usage pattern, I dont need them. Diusclaimer again, this is my own usage case again, before another guy gets angry at what I post. I look at that cost being the cost you'd most likely pay if you send the damaged Fold for repair. Might as well, pay when needed, if there arent any need to pay them, I'm not forking out a single ruble/sen.

The only way I's fork out for extended warranty if Malaysia has Samsung Care + like in Europe or US, where they repair everything (minus inner screen, extra charges for that), no questions asked, no extra charges. These "ala carte" warranty Samsung Malaysia is offering, I might as well pay when needed for repair. Looking at how I baby the phone extra carefully compared to my previous phone, with luck and care, touch wood, hopefully I will not have to worry about the warranties until way later in the life of the Fold ownership.

This case is by far the most consistent for swipe in gesture, but he didn't demonstrate for the edge panel in this video.
I will post the reddit link below if anyone is interested in reading up, though I'm not sure is it violating the forum rule.
The case seems abundant in shopee but not sure are all the same or just grabbed the same thumbnails. The symbolic spot of the case is the "AI Autofocus" wording on the camera cover portion.

Yeah I've been lurking in Reddit GalaxyFold subreddit, saw that case. My contention with other cases is that they're plain, but they're unobtrusive and work without blocking swipes. My case is that I prefer cases with character, not the "me-too"dozens of cases from China that looks the same. I'd rather chuck my Fold 2 into a pouch and keep it that way, than put these generic cases.

I need cases with character, which is why I gravitated towards the VRS cases, they look steampunk-ish, and looked like it could come out from Star Wars or something. If I'm hiding my Fold underneath thick cases, I prefer it to have unique character. That's just me. Don't kill me. Just sad that the VRS case blocks swipe -in, and the most recent defect, this: https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyFold/comment...s_case_warning/ , paint chipping from inside section of the case. Looks really bad.

I've been starting to look for alternatives in Shopee, but none strikes me as worthwhile enough to replace the Aramid I have. I had so much high hope for VRS case. sad.gif

ALMOST bought a VRS with kickstand from singapore site as it is the fastest we can get on hand due to neighboring country, but called off in the end because they only have silver colour and I dont like bright colour for the phone.
I want to have a front case while keeping the Aramid but too bad there is unlikely a case that is good and style matching with the Aramid unless Samsung finally decide to do us the favor. I would pay for it even though it's rip off to have to pay for front and back cover separately dry.gif ...

Btw, finally got the chance to hold and test the phone in my hand and damn does this Fold 2 feel like a more complete and finish product compared to the first fold. It also feels solid and nice to hold and seems to be able to withstand some pressure. The front display is also very usable one-handed.

OK just found out it does not support 45w fast charging. So I guess better for me to get 25w super fast charger instead.

Which one of you here posted the GKK “AI Autofocus” Fold 2 case in GalaxyFold subreddit? tongue.gif .

https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyFold/comment...utm_name=iossmf

It’s a near perfect case for the Fold 2, I just can’t stand that “AI Autofocus” part. Why can’t these enterprising mainland Chinese just leave the casing alone with destroying the minimalistic look of the case with that hideous “AI Autofocus” letterings, doh.gif

Without that horrible “AI Autofocus” ugliness letterings on the camera bump covering, I’d be all over it already. And because of that, the search for the perfect Fold 2 case continues. I’m also worries me for the current trend of requiring double-sided tape to keep the case in place. What happened to form-fitting cases that just snaps into place, AND STAYS IN PLACE? Ike all first party Samsung cases so far, but without front cover case section. If the answer is the front cover is too narrow and thin to be form fitting, then I’ll resign to the fact that I’ll be carrying my Fold 2 without front cover case protected, and will only be protected by a pouch.

The way I look at it, if your case isn’t form fitting and require double-sided tape to stay in place, it’s a poorly made case. I don’t want to have to deal with adhesives on my beautiful Fold2, so I’d rather not have any of these cases on my Fold 2 whatsoever.

I posted the GKK reddit link here but it's not written by me. I also ordered similar China according to his description, hopefully receive it next few days then I can give the feedback. In fact I ordered for 2 different colours simply because the case is dirt cheap.
Regarding the ugly letterings I do have a suggestion which is to get a dbrand skin for camera and cover it if you cannot ignore it, wouldn't cost you too much. Or you even take something and repaint the section.

Why does it sound like I'm beta-testing a case, making it work by having to DIY my way to make the case look presentable? As Uncle Roger would say: "Haaaiiiiiiiyyyaaaaa!" shakehead.gif

Please tell me at least this one is a snap-on tight case, without the need of double-sided tape for the case to stay in place. unsure.gif

In any case, your impressions is much appreciated upon receipt of the cases. Things like fitting especially, China brands are either too loose or fit so tight they'll scratch the hell out of the phone. And post your DIY work (if any), if you decide to remove that AI Autofocus hideousness.

No extra disc today ...most probaly back to 20% disc after current promo ends like n20u

At least 20% is still a significant discount. Am hoping that it gets back to the 25% during launch.

You are right! This phone considered more perfect compare to Fold 1 from holding, front screen display and design.

Im running with this phone in Gym room 🤔 not bit issue of carrying this when running. Mine still naked phone

Wah! What are you using to hold the phone? I mostly run outdoors so I’m looking at getting one of those run belts to hold it I suppose if I ever get the Z Fold 2.
