About to make the purchase. This will be my first foldable but my real concern is the camera bulge. Is it easyly scratched? Or damaged? And will it be top heavy? How is the distribution of the weight? Comfortable to hold for long?

Have been going to the shop a number of time but still cannot get answer to these. Appreciate answer from owner

i believe that the camera glass is not easy to scratch and damage, unless you rough the phone up. that way any sort of protection will fail.

due to camera bulge, the top is heavy. but still the phone is light on hand.

i have no problem holding it for a long time, folded or unfolded. experience may vary.

i suggest you got to honor shop to feel it yourself. dont just blindly buy, later will regret.

Thank you for the input. Yes I had tried the phone in the shop a number of time but not sure if I hold them a long time like when playing games or reading it will affect the feel.

Based on the reviews just want to know whether the AI on photos is really bad? From the photos I took in the shop seem to be fine. What about lowlight photo? And do sound light when recording video?

this phone is definitely not for gaming, although you may want to try since it has sd 8 elite.
i personally dont game on phone unless i needed to, probably gonna try mlbb due to its screen size.
for media consumption, reading is fine.

keep in note that some apps on display might be too large when unfolded, you just need to get to used to that.

onto camera.
for the AI thingy, you can turn it off in camera settings. turning on the motion sensing in auto mode will turn on the AI temporarily back to capture movements (AI need to read movement in motion)
camera auto mode has 3 filters in it (natural, vibrant, authentic)
you can choose whichever to suit your photographic style.

for low light photo, camera have night mode, so no worries.
also theres a pro mode as well, so you can tinker the settings through.

by the way dont believe photos snapped at the shop, the environment is well lit to trick you that the photos are good.

i dont understand the part "do sound light" question

anyway go try the phone again, play around its settings and try to hold the phone according to your preferences.

i own a lot of android and iphone before, and this is my 1st foldable and i do not regret one bit of purchasing it.

you can refer the review by mrmobile as well

Sorry most probably auto-correct again. there are report that for recorded video the sound lag, meaning that in the video the recorded sound will lag during playback.
