Samsung ZF7 - anyone braving one?

[danb79]

Anyone brave enough to pay what they're asking for the new ZF7 release?

I'm toying with it; I don't need my 13" M4 iPad Pro any more now I've got my MB; but still want a device that act as a tablet for eReading (Kindle, magazines etc) and to act as my business mobile too...

I might just save the hassle though and go for a Pixel 9 Pro Fold via eBay - had one before (not long enough) and missed it when I sold it on...

Decisions...

Fold or Flip?

Wife, myself and SIL have all had folding phones for probably five or more years now. I wouldn't go back and I renovate houses so they don't get a clean or easy life. No issues barring screen protectors across I think about nine phones between us.

Currently risking a Razor 60 Ultra without a case! Eek!

Surfboards are just annoying. Get a folder.

Sorry; Fold, deffo not Flip

It seems I can get an immaculate/as new and still in warranty P9PF for less than £750 - that sways it for me as my iPad Pro will sell for £900+ - stumping up c£1700 for ma phone makes me wobble a bit haha

Yeah I'm giving it a go. I had one of the early ones, a 2 or a 3, and I really didn't get on with it. Too heavy, too clunky, generally less good all round.

But the F7 is about the same size and weight as my S25U so I'm going to see if it's any better this time round. Happy that they have upgraded the camera, less happy about losing the pen, but in reality I use that very infrequently.

The decision was bolstered by a bunch of promo codes, plus the trade-ins. I was going to swap in the S25 but they wouldn't take it, but what would they would take was a pair of 7" tablets for which I paid ~£250 each six years ago, and for which they credited me £400.

And then I noticed they are runing a 100 day return no questions asked scheme, so if I don't like it I can send it back and revert to my S25. I just hope they don't then return the favour by sending me the pair of landfill tablets back.

I think Samsung are launching their tri-fold phone later this year, may be worth hanging on a bit.

I unfortunately missed out on some of the cracking promo codes yesterday whilst trying to get my son to get his arse in gear and get his Unidays account sorted out.

Ill hold off and hopefully there will be some more deals coming available closer to release date.

I fancy swopping my Pixel 9 fold for one as i hate googles launcher.

I love the idea of them, but I just don't feel the technology is there yet. They still seem so very fragile, especially with the cost of the things. The screen ratio when opened also doesn't seem that useful for what I'd want it for, such as watching videos etc. The tri-fold would definitely help there.

Definitely going to be keeping an eye on them over the coming years though. The idea of having a tablet always in your pocket is very appealing.

Yep, pre-ordered yesterday. Currently, I have a Fold 5 and wouldn't want to go back to a slab phone. With trade-ins, coupon codes and pre-order bonuses and got the price down to almost half and a pair of Galaxy Buds 3 Pro thrown in for 'free'.

Have the z fold 5... love it but main issues were crap cameras and bulk. The 7 addresses both so have ordered it !
