Such a good-looking phone. Even my iPhone wife and kids think so. I have the blue and it looks really nice with the metal trim (brass or gold color?).

Fantastic looking phone with or without the case. sort of plastic-y though with the case on, but it's a utilitarian protective case, not a fashion accessory here.

Thing's a brick (it honestly feels like you can kill someone with it if you bean them just so in the head).
But it's a rather lovely brick. I'm partial to the "Classy Blue" variant.

Well, I'm coming from the LV V30+, and my last Samsung phone was the Galaxy S4.

I am also currently using the V30. I am finding the battery isn't lasting as long. A real bummer too. I like the phone. I would replace it. But the last time I had a battery changed out on my Nexus 6p. The place that did it said there would likely be damaged doing it. I gave the go ahead on my excellent conditioned phone. It was done with damage on the aluminium case. Then the phone just died 2 months later. Anyways to make a long story short. I ordered the V60 Sunday. Hope to have it in a week or so. Can't wait to use it.

Screen resolution on the V60 is lower than on the V30, and Face ID unlock is gone, but other than that, the V60 is a moderate to significant step up in all other categories, IMO.

While the phone feels absolutely smooth and premium to touch, it tends to slip. I was surprised by the lack of grip on the phone. Has to used with a gripped back cover, no excuses.
Good

Yeah, I gave up on a G5(S-less) to pass it to my father and I'm surprised to see how it was way better on the hands. The G5S is huge and encased on polished metal, which may be easy on the eyes, but a pain to handle.
My worst Moto ever
I am a high end user and I have previously used Moto G3, G5, E3 Power. Over all the Moto devices I have this came out be the worst.
Pros and Cons through my perspective
PROS :
1. Premium Design
2. Very good cameras
3. Above average battery backup
CONS :
1. Over heating on normal usage
2. Excessive over heating while charging, initially when the device is cool and the charger is plugged in it charges with ~2.5A for the first 10 minutes and as the device heats up, the rate of charging decreases to such as an extent that the rate goes down to 330mA and it shows 3 hours remaining to charge and it really takes around 3 hours then.
3. The display is too hard and unresponsive even compared to cheap Redmi and Vivo phones, I have even come across many people complaining the display is unresponsive and sometimes flickering too. My display too has minor flickering, and when I use night mode apps I see too much flicker.
4. (The worst problem I face) I got the device 2 months ago I have been facing a severe and weird issue, I don't understand if the problem is with the display or something else, what I found is when I type something in WhatsApp or anywhere at the usual speed that we type, some alphabets needs to be pressed twice.
For example if I had to type a word "Motorola", it comes out like "Moorola". I have to cut and type again slowly and hardly. When I just type something like "Where are you going", its comes out to be "Whre are yo goig" or something like that.
I have even tried flashing stock rom, resetting the device, clearing data of keyboards and also using stock and 3rd party keyboards but the problem still persists.

Cover delivered.
So far, I have found a few things that I hope will be better. Connection problems, lack of screen "plastic" as all the others have from the box, USB card reader/usb hub aren't recognized correctly. Only accessible via file management. Lightroom app can't see the reader/USB.
When I get a good cover/case for the phone, I will be able to use it as daily driver, so I'm waiting with more updates. Gaming experience isn't impressive, since there is the connection problem.
Updates:
Just received the asus plastic 3 part cover. And I give the others right. Not worth it!
Anyway, I tried to game again with the cover on. No improvements on the ping. X mode does no difference whatsoever. Or on antutu, x mode raises the score from 299k to 301k.
Hopefully the silicone tpu cover will come to Europe really soon. The asus plastic cover feels like something from wish!

that's really what i was hoping for since it's the one they showed off in their youm announcement video all those years ago not long after that patent was seen AND IT HAD S-PEN IT WAS THERE FIRST PATENT IN FOLDABLE I ISAW
That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind.

Companies patent things all the time that never see fruition. Obviously, Samsung is thinking about the next generation, like with any product. But I would take most of these patents and renders with a massive grain of salt.
I love it. I don't like that I paid so much for a device and Samsung's treating it like a 2nd class citizen. I guess with it's numbers it'll never get the official support that the S10/Note10 gets, but it still irks me. The S10 just got the DeX support that the Note10 has.. why not the Fold? Saw a story this morning that the Note10 and S10 get wireless Android Auto support.. why not the Fold? That type of thing. But I do love the device, no regrets.
Edit: Your Phone Companion now supports "Phone Screen" on the fold.
18 Days in with mine now, use it as my daily driver, no signs of wear or damage. I do look after it but then I look after all my stuff. Extremely pleased with it!
I'm on my second one now. Got one on contract then sent it back as the guilt of owning one was so bad. Anyway, got over the guilt and got another one on contract. It is such a lovely device, especially when you open it up and you are dazzled by the bright and colourful screen. If there is one thing I don't like it's the weight as it does weight down your pocket!
Love it! 9/10 Have had it since launch day in the U.S. and it is my daily driver. Fantastic piece of hardware. The only things that bother me are the top notch and slow to get updates. Other than that it performs flawlessly, looks great and has had zero problems. Yes it's damn expensive but it is cutting edge and I believe it to be the better design from the other folding phones we are now seeing. It's a keeper!
F*cling love this phone, a phone when I need a phone, a tablet when I need a tablet and DeX is brilliant btw!
A not perfect device but with unique features: no other foldable promised with pride on great shows has in fact still reached this model on the market .. I like innovations and I had already bought the Note Edge in 2014 and the Xiaomi Mi Mix in 2016 among others.., Galaxy Fold makes itself loved because at the same time it is a narrow phone and a tablet, and because it has the specifications of a top of the range
i Very love it
So far love it had it since Tuesday now Saturday I wear baggy Jean's so not a problem of it in pocket
I just bought one after umming and ahhing, I got a pretty good deal on a new one almost $1000 ( New Zealand Dollars) off retail as well as selling my old note 8 with 256GB dual sim.
I must say pictures do not do the device justice, it is simply gorgeous.
I also own a note 10 plus which i intend to keep as an office workhorse whilst the fold will be my " leisure" device.
I can imagine if the fold 2 came with an spen as well as the new flexible glass screen i wouldnt hesitate picking it up.
Overall im very pleased
I expected that Samsung will show the foldable version plus spen...but in unfortunately they didn't
no spen until foldable glass is thick enough to support it.
i really love it to be honest
Love it, have it now for 4 weeks and really really love it.

paint peeling off next to volume rocker
I've ordered my OP7Pro on the Community Drop day. Used it with a case from day one. Still, on both sides of the volume rocker the paint (Mirror Gray) peeled off.
Immediately notified the vendor's customer support. They didn't take it really seriously from the start. Needed to follow-up 3 times until they officially answered me. Unfortunately, the response was negative, saying that the peeling off of the paint is not covered by warranty. So, if I want, they can repair it, but I will have to pay the costs.
So, I'm pretty much disappointed by this, since OP is selling this device as a premium one, and this paint peeling off never happened to me before, not even with less premium devices. Also, completely disappointed by how OPS's customer service works and, of course, by their final feedback. Probably my last OP device.
Royal Look & feel
The material used in one plus are of best quality and can be felt by the user as well.
Mine feels and looks like new. No cover, just randoom screen protectors.
Really good overall....but it is HEAVY! I had 6T. The weight is very noticeable. Even in my pocket it is a bit annoying.
Thicker, heavier than the 6T. Can't compare to the 7T...but can imagine that is even lighter than this thing.
Overall build and quality is up there with the best.

Coming from a Note 8, I always felt it was a bit too big in my pocket pants as I usually place it inside my right pants pocket. Samsung was offering a sweet discount on the new Z Flip 5G, so I sprang for it. When folded, it's a bit thick but fits inside my pocket like a champ. The phone itself is very nice looking, I got the Mystic Bronze. It's very striking in appearance, jewel-like. Definitely a fashion statement. I've had strangers ask me what phone it is. They are invariably surprised at the folding aspect of this phone. This is the future, everyone will be sporting a folding phone in a few years. I'm just living in the future today.

It's a great phone. I don't know why you wouldn't want it. Yes, it's expensive but it's worth every penny. Love this phone.
So, I've had it for a week, coming from a S9+, I love it. As has been mentioned, you can get some significant discounts, I would not have pulled the trigger without them.
I read a lot of reviews and felt pretty informed by the time the phone arrived; however, there are some things that I have learned in the past week.
The Screen - The reviews cover screen quality and I was not disappointed. Two things I did not encounter in any reviews that have been eye opening. First, polarization. When viewing the phone vertically the screen is almost unreadable while wearing polarized glasses. This is annoying, once rotated beyond 45 degrees it is usable and is perfect when viewed horizontally. For me, this is a problem when driving as I use the phone for GPS, not a big deal, but I did have to go find a new phone holder for the car that will support the horizontal mount. Also, this makes quick checks of the phone and prolonged use out in the sun a challenge, either take off the glasses and squint, struggle to see through the polarization, or flip sideways. Second, the screen protector. Many reviews mentioned the screen protector and all seemed to present a reasonable level of durability, although, Samsung seems to expect a replacement during the life of the phone. Unfortunately, within two hours of getting the phone I had inadvertantly gouged the screen protector. I tried to open the phone by sliding my thumb in the middle and flipping up (thumbs up). My thumb nail (just cut the day before, definitely not long) dragged across the screen as the phone opened and left a long dent. It was still there the next day when I put my own screen protector on (yeah, I know, Samsung says don't do that), but now I couldn't show it to you if you asked. Samsung's screen protector may have eventually 'self-healed' but I wasn't waiting around to find out. My recommendation, get a removable but strong screen protector, just be careful when you take it off, don't take off Samsung's. Finally, just to reiterate what was in the reviews, the screen is a fingerprint magnet, your own screen protector will help with that.
App Pairs - Something I used once in a while on my S9+, app pairs are not available on this phone (right now), but the rest of the Edge features are still there. There is now an ability to switch into split screen mode with applications from the edge bar, it is confusing and more difficult to execute. What is worse is that the phone and OS/UI will support them, SmartSwitch copied my existing pairs over, I just can't create new ones. Samsung, give me back my app pairs, please.
That's about it, as I said, it has been great so far, I'll update this is I come across anything else.
