Glass feels premium but fragile, slippery, fingerprint magnet and bad conductor of heat compared to metal. Well, people will use a case anyway.
Feels premium, i love the design, very chic and elegant. the black color is really nice fits well.
Yes, the glass is fingerprint magnet.. but anyways i use a case. but sometimes i use it without case just to feel it. the finger print and low bezels is really the best in the market... because it is really small bezel and u dn't need a navigation bar to take part of the screen. so comparing it to other devices it was better. so far didn't notice defects.
Overall it looks great but the paint used on the metal sides isn't great quality. I've NEVER used the phone without the provided case. I took it out to have a look at it for the first time in ages the other day and noticed the phone has scratches all the way down the sides. My assumption is that this is from dust in my pocket getting between the best and the metal frame. First time I've seen this with a phone though.
almost scratch free. really slippery without case. I use a soft leather case to maintain grip. or it would keep on falling
Fell premium. I was happy with quality of materials until 2 days ago, when i try to change SIM card, i put out phone from case, and put on arm rest of sofa. I dont know how it could be possible that phone slip down on wood table. 20cm distance and left corner on alu frame is little sunk.
Screen scratches super fast. I have old Chinese umi super, used it in work no screen protector or case. Never get scratches. My mate 10 just a few times in pocket of jeans got scratches... Horrible.

Uhhh you do realize that there's a factory applied screen protector right?
I took that off the first day of use. I dont like it.. On akl my previous phones never used screen protector. No scratches
I have white spots/circles on the side of the phone. Paint is rubbed away. Not many of them but its still a shame.

I am a really big fan of glass.. And it looks premium..
looks premum but fingerprint magnet and extremely slippery back, metal sides lucikly are OK
looks premium but fingerprint magnet and extremely slippery back but using provided case can minimize the slipperiness

no provided case for me, but i don't complain for 358€
1. I've never had in my hands so slippery phone as this one.. it's ultra slick! If you put that phone on a sofa it immediatelly starts sliding to the nearest gap between matresses.. so be carefull if you have big pockets, it can slide out of the pocket if you sit with your legs crossed
2. And the metal frame is also very soft. As there was no rubber case in the phone package and the seller hasn't any in the stock (he tells the phone is 'ultra new item') my phone is already scratched on the metal border. I've got the phone in my pocket and didn't knew about that little eurocent in the pocket.. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu @%&@$#%#!!
3. The additional glass which comes from factory is also soft.. was scratched too with the same coin as in point 2.
4. As was in another post above the whole body (except the frame) is fingerprint magnet
The used material is not worth the 420€ but the phone in global is very nice.. it's a shame I have to use it with a rubber case
ps. I had before Xiaomi phones WITHOUT any scratces and thy fell sooo many times.. this one Honor was just few times in a pocket and this is how he looks now

The device feels premium, and comfortable to use with one hand. However, I don't suggest that anyone use this device without a case and screen protector. I haven't been using my device for a full 24 hours, and already have cosmetic scratches on the front screen. I don't know how or when it happened, but I see that this Gorilla Glass 5 isn't quite prone to scratches.
My IQ Shield screen protector is coming in the mail today, and I am going to install it as soon as I can. I typically don't like tempered glass because I don't really like the feel of them.

Really? I have been using it without any screen protector for 5 days now. No scratches at all on the front screen despite my kind of rough use. I do recommend a case though. The phone is really slippery and prone to finger prints.
I havnt scratched the screen but i have a tiny nick on the aluminum right next to the camera thats now silver and yeah how the hell did that happen. I have a tech 21 case and everything. Be careful the aluminum

I feel for you friend. I have been using my old Note3 without any case or screen protector and never even a single scratch on screen. And damn it, I got 3 DEEP scratches on this device on the next day of purchase. I felt so upset. Please anyone who owns this device, use a screen protector ASAP.
Quality is top notch. Doesn't feel slippery without the case on, as coming from the LG G4. The Platinum Grey feels more beautiful under the sun.
It's just as you'd expect from a flagship phone.

I've been using the phone for almost a week now without a case, and I have been extremely careful with it, but it already has some micro scratches on the display. Its not a super big deal, you can only see it in direct light, but still. I did order a screen protector and a case but the canada post strike once again is causing delays and says I probably wont get my stuff until January. No retailers around here have any cases sooooo if you're thinking about getting an ROG phone, especially if you live in Canada, maybe you should hold off for the next month or two.
Also, not the biggest fan of the pentile sub pixel arrangement. Colours, blacks, and 90hz are actually great, but ugh why pentile, I can clearly see it at normal viewing distance.
The phone itself itself feels solid and heavy. And very smooth. If I put it on my desk it sometimes floats over toward my keyboard depending on how I put it down. A case is a must. I would like one like my old case, false leather with hard plastic, and a cover flap with thin speaker grill cutouts. I miss it already. Nothing on this phone feels loose, and the buttons are all clicky and easy to push. The power button on my old phone use to be on the top left, so I sometimes find myself accidentally hitting it. Especially when I squeeze the phone to take a screenshot. I wish they placed them higher up so they wouldn't be right where I naturally rest my fingers. (for reference if I put the bottom edge of the phone flat against the bottom of my palm, my middle finger just barely reaches over the top edge of the phone.)
Overall I think the phone is well made, and quite a solid phone. When it came out of the box, everything was pristine, worked flawlessly, fast, and easily. There are some small gripes but most people probably wont care about any of them except that the screen can easily get micro scratches, even when being very careful.
EDIT: The screen is still accumulating scratches while I wait for my screen protector to arrive. No scratches on the back however. Disappointing, considering I never used a screen protector on my m7 and scratches didn't start showing up until year 4.
Also this thing is a dust magnet. And I'm not sure how but a speck already made its way under the rear camera glass.
Does anyone know of a place in toronto that would sell generic wallet cases that would fit this phone? Don't want to keep using this unprotected for potentially the rest of 2018

A lot has been said about the screen on this phone, and understandably. This is brand new tech so people want to know how well it works and how live-with-able it is. I'll come back to the screen.
Firstly the body of the phone is excellent. It feels sturdy and nice to hold and use. Unfortunately the glass is the most slippery thing I've ever felt. I put it on a flat wireless charger on a flat table on a flat floor, and it still managed to slide slowly off! You need a case which is a shame at the phone is so beautiful.
The hinge is reassuringly robust. Supposedly it will last 200,000 actions which is over 100 a day for 5 years. That might be marketing guff, but it certainly doesn't feel flimsy or worrying at all.
Now the screen: For those who don't know the 'controversy'. Samsung marketed the phone as having a glass screen. It subsequently turned out that it does BUT there is a polymer layer on top of that. Glass screens are used because they are strong and scratch resistant. Plastic isn't really. This phone uses ultra-thin glass which gives incredible screen clarity, but no protection. The plastic on top is great quality but some caution is needed, this is not as tough as you're probably used to. To mitigate this Samsung offer a free screen protector service and one nominal-cost screen replacement per device (£99 in the UK).
The device is not water or dust resistant at all. Again, almost all devices are these days so bear that in mind with this one.
Overall, this phone is very well made and feels strong and robust but there are caveats to consider before buying it. If you are a bit clumsy with phones, or use them in dusty, moist, or very physical environments, it might not be a good daily driver for you.
I still have a fear that its construction will accidentally break...

I like and dislike (I know it's weird) the "sound" of the hinge... Yes, if you are in a really quiet place, you hear the brushes in the hinge doing their job. It's nice though, knowing that they are their, as advertised. But it kinda sounds a bit awkward at the same time.
Maybe it's just me
what about the touch feeling of materials is it nice to touch or not?
Well I have had my fold 2 for a few days now, upon the unboxining and first initial impressions I most certainly didn't go oh this is fragile. The fold 2 feels extremely well constructed and after watching Zacks video I feel even more confident. People say oh but the inner display will scratch with your fingernails (i can't speak for everyone) but I personally cut mine :laugh:
I am not going to detract this amazing device by getting a case , I have however got my Dbrand skins on the way.
Personally I feel safe and secure and credit to Samsung for the great improvements........:good:
definitely feels better than i thought it would when i took out the box other day. more solid than the Fold(1)
Just got mine in black with blue spine. Was surprised to find that the phones edges are very lightly ridged. That's an amazing subtle touch that I've never seen on any phone I've had. Very nice finish to the device.
Mine had a case on the device and the case actually scratched the polished metal rim also the case too pulled the screen protector slightly need a better case
I bit disappointed in the scratches by the case on the metal hinge that's why the more expensive cases comes with tape to prevent damage. Oh well
