Hi guys, my current smartphone is zf5 which I planned to upgrade this year.

A bit of a history, zf5 was announced on 26/7/2023. On 11/8/2023 it's in general released. Retail price for 512gb is 2578 sgd.

On 10/8/2023, mom and pop shop onephone sold below 1.9k! 我有证据的:

Whether the current prices at mister mobile and red white mobile are good deals, you decide.

In general, it's not a good idea to buy a new product at launch as they might have "bugs". In the case of zf7, you see problems such as hinge can't unfold flat. You need to give the manufacturing facilities time to iron out the issues. Those in manufacturing industry will understand what I mean. Quality improves with time.

After trying out the Spigen & samsung clear cases. Finally come to a conclusion to use only the Samsung one w/o front cover as to enjoy the generational improvements on the slim form factor. If putting on a thick case will negate the very fact why I upgrade to it..~~"

Personally I dislike the transparent + safemag ring outlook

Tempted to get a carbon fibre back casing + hidden/concealed safemag function type instead

Anyway, I'll be using my ZF7 naked until 25 July onwards

Gonna wait out for the ss clear case

Tldr version is if you can wait, just wait, coz as with any new product price will go down and any bug will get sorted out along the time.

Galaxy Z Fold 7 Outselling Flip 7 in South Korea

• The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is outselling the Flip 7 in South Korea for the first time, marking a significant shift in consumer preference.

• This success is attributed to the Fold 7's refreshed design, including its thinner profile and larger displays, along with strong pre-order bonuses.

• The Fold 7 accounts for 60% of early sales, reversing the trend where the Flip series typically outsold the Fold models.

• Samsung's new foldables, including the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7, are experiencing exceptional pre-order numbers, with sales doubling compared to the previous year.

Can buy 1 x level entry mobile phone or tablet liao!!

But ok lah, you're right 200+ for cases for 2 phones is still manageable

Thanks for sharing!! Hope you will enjoy the cases :D

not surprised. The Flip 7 is still considered quite thicc. Though the cover screen is beautiful with slim bezels. And it's using Exynos, if it's using SD E8 , then it would be better.

First impression.
1. Speaker is not as good as both fold 6 and s25u. Very obvious. If you use speaker for call, it can go quite soft. The volume on your ears are lower also.
2. Secure folder now is using private space. The lock when leave app option is gone. You need to off the screen or manually lock it.
3. The bezel on front screen is too thick.
4. The feel not as solid as fold 6
5. Not as smooth as when I first use s25 ultra.

Yes, this is a very slippery phone. Very hard to open too cos of the slim chassis. Best to get a case. You'd feel tired after a while trying to open it up without a case.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 Display Rated for 500,000 Folds

• The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7's display is rated for 500,000 folds, a 150% increase compared to previous models.

• This rating was achieved after testing by Bureau Veritas at room temperature over 13 days, with the device remaining fully functional.

• The improvement is attributed to better impact absorption, 50% thicker ultra-thin glass, and a new high-elastic adhesive.

• This durability suggests the display can withstand up to 10 years of normal use, exceeding the 7-year update promise.
