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.

Apparent esim has to wait for OTG update to support

Thanks for this info! I was hunting for the esim function and couldn't find it. Looks like have to keep my Note 10 around for a while until esim is available.

I heard Spigen Tough Case not as good as UAG Civilian Armor. Spigen Tough Case for the first fold you need to PRESS the spine into the armor when you fold it. Got a big clack sound

I am waiting for the UAG case to be available. Looks to be the best protection. Either way, I've only used UAG for all of my previous phones. Best protection for our pricey phones

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.

Finally spent the day outside without a laptop. This phone with the bigger size really can replace my laptop. The multi windows really helps. Now just hope esim update happens soon. Have to carry my old phone as well is cumbersome

Weird WiFi placement. After I activated eSIM, the WiFi icon moved to the left of the camera lens. Still lots of space left next to the mobile signal icons. Anyone getting this?

Just a question about e-SIM. What is the maximum number of lines can we have on the ZF2? All from different telcos too and not on the same network.

I have Celcom with normal SIM & Digi with eSim

Same like me but I wonder if can add one more telco. Example: Maxis (normal SIM), Celcom (eSIM) and Digi (eSIM)

You can have multiple esim but only 2 can be active in the same time. So the 3rd will be in inactive mode.

So this means I can have Maxis, Celcom and Digi all active at the same time based on the configuration I mentioned?

Been preoccupied with setting up a Miracast-capable device, coz I still believe Wireless Dex is a viable endeavour. After using the Amazon Fire Stick 4K for more than a week and a half, I can safely say it will turn any HDMI-equipped TV, no matter how old it is, into a TV with Wireless Dex capability. Can’t claim if it is better than the built-in Miracast in Samsung TVs though, my Samsung TV is old (old ya, not ancient! laugh.gif, it’s still a SmartTV), but it sure add a lot more functionality than just Wireless Dex. With a proper setup, you can even go portable with this, a portable monitor you can connect to wirelessly. Add in VPN and streaming service, you’ll be entertained for hours, days,weeks, month, even years with content....a very dangerous rabbit hole to fall into. biggrin.gif

I’m torn between using my Fold 2 as it is, or with the portable monitor. The Fold 2 has very loud speaker built into it, sometimes I forgot to set the audio to come out from the portable monitor using Samsung SmartThings, I left the outdoor out via the Fold 2 itself, and it’s even plenty loud and clear that way! Of course in public places in demand of privacy use your free included Galaxy Buds Live lah.

Thinking of expanding that entertainment aspect of the Fold with gaming on the xCloud service coupled with Xbox Game pass, has anybody tried that service, how good is it in Malaysia with our local internet providers?

Gaming locally on the fold is pretty much a good experience, although I avaoid mashing virtual buttons on the inner screen playing games like Genshin Impact, there are reports about someone denting his inner display of his Fold 2 from mashing virtual buttons playing that game. I’m using the Fold 2 with Aramid standing case unfolded paired wirelessly with PS4 controller, so no rough treatment to the inner display. My only question is how good xCloud and Xbox Game Pass works here locally before I consider subbing. Anybody else game on their Fold 2?

I tried connecting to my LG OLED TV via Miracast. It was not very smooth. Seems jerky. It keeps popping up a warning asking me to connect via cable. Anyway, good to know that it works wirelessly. For DEX, I still prefer to use it on my S7+ Tablet like a laptop.

I finally received my Spigen Tough Armor and get rid of the cheap shoppee hard plastic case. It's so good to have grippy rubber covering the ZF2. Plus this also covers the hinge spine.

I also have the Urban Armour Gear case coming soon. So let's see which one works better

Will this case be a bit too bulky ?

It's just a few mm thicker. ZF2 is quite heavy and will need thicker padding in case of fall. This is a good case for all round protection.
