Reddit says battery life is pretty bad and worse than Fold 2. Quite a lot of threads. Could it be SD888 really bad + 5G chip causing this?

Deal breaker?


They had to keep the phone slimmer lor. Also with a bigger screen, more juice is needed obviously.. and most sites stated that the batt life at 7hrs plus... at that huge screen using to its full potential, its ok for me not having 9,10hrs ... imo

To be honest, you can't please everyone, typical people ai pi, ai che, ai dua liap ni

They want better brighter screen, multi tasking, better this better that, end up it will consume more power, they complain

Previously when apple secretly limit their phone function/performance to make their battery last longer, people also complain

battery life depends on how u use it and how good is ur mobile signal.

if ur signal is low, the device will keep searching for a better cellstation until it gets a stronger and better signal.

And also all these youtuber battery life tests are done within the first or second charge only.

it usually takes 1 or 2 weeks to get the battery well optimised.

so i think their tests are not very accurate.

Anyone who bought from smaller shops (i.e. not telcos/shopee/samsung offical store) hearing about delays to your order?

For those who pre-ordered from Hachi (Challenger), Best Denki, Kris Shop, etc do you all know if the phones will be shipped out next week? Or delayed until like end sept-October?

I heard (Not me) those chain stores (Challenger/Harvey ETC) are getting it on 7th & 15th Sept, if you order from them best u give them a call to double confirm

Was at NEX playing with the demo, although the fold is 271g comparing to my note at 201g, surprisingly i feel the fold 3 to feel lighter (Is it because they remove some component in their demo set? LOL) and I kinda like the metallic feel

yup, I've heard got delays also. My pre-order was actually made quite early, Aug 15 but I made it with Krisshop to use miles... Originally they said will ship early and reach me on 2-3 Sept.

Now i feel like i might have made the wrong decision. I'm trying to call them to confirm shipping date but they no reply and until now they ssuddenly say cannot confirm shipping/delivery

Can't be help, samsung sure will satisfied their own pockets 1st before giving it to others, most shops & telco have already been sold out since 1-2 day while samsung keep pushing their own PO dates from 2nd to 27th sept and now currently 4th Oct
