Hello do you recommend fold 2 for me ? - Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers

I wanna try fold 2 but I'm afraid from durability
Should i try it or buy mi 11 ultra ?

I would recommend not getting a foldable device at the moment. As they are still in the development stage

If you really want one, wait for the fold 3. I should be out late August/early September

I just bought the fold 2 and boy I'm in love with it !
Durability, I can't really tell you for now but to be honest if you usually take care of your phone you will not have nay issues with this one. This is not as fragile as others might say. You can always buy it like me on Amazon renewed (I guess if you are in the US) and return it within the 90 days window.

Anyone bought the bamboo back plate from AliExpress?

Title says it all.
No I didn't know they already had them? Surely they're after market and not official?
I might buy one

Thanks looks awesome for $60 for a case or cover is way too much especially when bamboo is a really cheap material
oneplus return their official "first bamboo covers" because the wanted quality is not present... don't buy this there are not good quality
what brunsman said...oneplus pulled the bamboo covers because of a quality problem...these are most probably those so i would not buy them if i were you...will be a big waste of $60...or they could just be dodgy chinese knock offs which will be even worse....visit the oneplus forum for confirmation
Better wait until official release
Since the bamboo swapstyle covers were canceled I ordered one for £39 yesterday. Its expensive but I justified it because I sold my invites for £40 so I'm not losing out. Apparently the seller takes 60 days to process and then another week or so to airmail. I'm hoping they will actually ship earlier and this is just incase.
I believe it's taking them 60 days to process because they are waiting for oneplus to make the covers and they planned on reselling...since they are not making them there is no cover to be shipped.

Official statement said they cancelled the project and will not be having StyleSwap covers anymore.

60 day process on AliExpress means you have 60 days of refund. Once you're past that 60 day process duration you cannot refund.
I ordered one and put it on Express shipping, let's see how it goes.

Actually that's what they say. Being in Hong Kong/China I can assure you that they released OnePlus One models built in with the bamboo back. Quality is superb and not bad quality, in fact it's perfect and doesn't have any issues.
Second quote: Pure speculation, yes obviously you can feel suspicious, but you can't raise a fully unbiased opinion without actually having experience with one. I on the other hand have played with the Official Bamboo OnePlus and can say that no doubt it is exactly the same. The labels at the back of the phone are also removable as they are printed on a sticker, not on the wood - which is exactly the same print as the Color OS model's labels.
I'll say that I bought one and will post on here when I obtain it and fit it on my device. Peace out!
Who needs other covers when Sandstone Black is this niiice......
Actually my biggest issue is how to protect the damn thing. I want to keep feeling the wonderful back, yet keep it protected. Is there a case that only covers the edges or something?
So, anyone have ordered and received (and tried) the one sold on Aliexpress??

What do I buy next.?

Have owned a tab 2, for a while. Now it's dead and wandering what to buy next. Apparently the tab 3 is not really an upgrade so just wandering what your thoughts are on the best successor to tab 2 please.
I think its the Samsung Galaxy tab S. A high end tablet with one of the most beautiful displays ever and a sturdy build too. Hope I helped
I just "upgraded" to an older note 8 (2013 version) myself. This will probably be my last post in this subforum. I'd say if you want something new but don't want to break the bank look at refurbs on amazon. I got my note 8 for $125 because of cosmetic damage on the rear case which is covered up nicely with a $4 case.

Thanks a lot yes just checked this out the 2gb of ram does it for me, will definitely be getting this. Much appreciated.

Would you still buy the OPO today?

My Nexus 5 is getting worse and worse by the day when it comes to battery life. I have replaced the battery and factory reset but still am struggling. Plus, I'm not overly impressed with the HTC One M9 at this point, but I realize it's not on final software yet either. The Asus Zenfone 2 is also appealing, but who knows when/if it will be released in the US.
So, if you were to buy a phone today, would you still consider the OnePlus One? I know the next variant is expected in the upcoming months but curious what you think. I like the price point, especially for the 64gb of memory, but it looks like camera quality is still hit and miss.
I appreciate your thoughts!
Update: bought one on Swappa and should be getting it on 3/20.
I just ordered mine 64GB version for 299 Eur
Hmm Nexus5 to OnePlusOne maybe last year, but this year when OnePlus Two is near i wouldn't buy OnePlusOne, but if you totally need it buy it. It is smooth and looks so awesome.
I'd still buy it in a heartbeat.

I bought a used one a few weeks ago off of swappa for $330. Came with a case and 2 glass screen protectors. Love it so far, decided to buy another used one for my GF too.

Same here. Replaced my S5 for about the same price, and would do it again in a heartbeat.
Yes!!! I'm loving everything about mine (still a new user).

Just got mine today, loving it. I'd get a one plus two if it was exactly the same as the one in every way, ie 5.5" 1080p (dont need higher), 64gb of storage, great battery life and cheap. Rumours all point to none of this, along with the 810 being a hot chip. Even the M9 is a hot running device.
I have a HTC One m8, but seeing as the M9 is disappointing and I want a new phone so I bought it today, can't wait to get it! If I don't like it, well theres always toy phones to have
Yes. Got mine few days ago. So far, it's great. Now I have both Nexus 5 32gb and OnePlus One 64gb. It's so great in such a small price tag that you won't regret even if the Two comes in few months.
So if u consider to buy a phone today, definitely go for OnePlus 1.

Thanks for all the comments! I just purchased one on Swappa, now to sit and wait.
No, I wouldn't. The missing feature of mhl makes it almost completely useless with my app radio which I used heavily with HTC one m7.

Lol I got mine 2 days ago. And I must say, pros>cons on this phone. I absolutely love it. I don't care about the customer service and that it doesn't work as quick as people would like them to work. For the price of this phone and the specs, you have no right to complain about anything tbh?
I bought one , Broke it . . Tried the OPPO FIND 7.. broke and returned that.. now i just got another ONEPLUS . Love the easy customization and the ONEPLUS ROM Scene is busy..
oneplus one will be brilliant choice!
OnePlus Without second thought.
He had everything you have in Nexus 5 and so MUCH more, plus with this price tag it's a no brainer.
Just bought one a few days ago, coming from a fairly beaten up Galaxy S3 (no screen cracks, just dinged around the edges and crashes a random app once every other week or so) one big reason I switched is that even the new batteries I bought don't seem to last long.
I got the tempered glass screen protector with it and I love that, never going back to plastic.
I was worried if it would seem too big in my pocket - I would say, the S3 is a little more comfortable to have in pocket, but the OPO is OK. I basically wear jeans every day and they're not too tight, otherwise, it could be a problem.
It feels like a good solid quality device and I'm glad it doesn't get hot running Clash of Clans the way my S3 does.
The ghost touches on this thing are driving me crazy, it's going back up on Swappa.
I wouldn't buy a phone with Snapdragon 810 so I'm not looking forward to any of the flagship (and killer) this year.

Can I ask you why?^^

Oneplus 7 8/256GB worth it for 609€ on Amazon?

As the title say I'm probably buying the non pro version due to the huge price difference (140€), what do you guys think? Ah I'm coming from a OnePlus 6, yesterday unfortunately I've discovered that the type c is kind loose and now the cable slips away if I slightly move the device...
Thanks in advance for the help!
7t should be out in 2 months time. Might be worthwhile waiting for it.

Problem is that I don't know when the type c port will break definitely, that's my main concern...

Probably an inexpensive fix. Won't you need to get it fixed if you plan on selling the phone at some stage?
I'd get it repaired and wait for the 7t.
Might find the 7pro gets heavily discounted soon too.
I've got the 7pro and it is fantastic! The 90hz screen is unlike anything I've ever used on a smartphone. Not sure the 7/7t will have a 90hz display.

It depends on Amazon answer on that, sometimes they refund it if it's not available. Anyway I'll do as you advised, I'll wait for the T version hoping to not break the port :fingers-crossed:

NO!
Oneplus 7 is worth buying in China, because you spend 200€ less money (about 400€ for a new 8/256GB) and you keep Oneplus official warranty for 1 year.
Ok you lose just 1 year, but the price is the same as a Mi 9T Pro
Or if you are lucky enough (just as me), you could find in Amazon Warehouse Deals, an OP7 used in perfect condition, paying the same as a new one in China market, but with a perfect phone and Amazon warranty (and you can give it back if it is not good enough for you).
I found a French OP7: same as the others OP, but in France it is mandatory to include earphones into the package (usb-c earphones worth 20€ in Oneplus shopping page)
I ordered the OP7 with 256Gb/8GB Ram for 390€ at Gearbest during flashsale. Pretty good deal in my opinion ? I hope the delivery doesn't take too long...

I ordered my OnePlus 7 8/256 from Aliexpress for $440 so no, Amazon's current price of 600 euros is not a good deal.
For that kind of money you would get the 7 Pro on Aliexpress.
No, this device not worth such money!
I have it for 3 month already and no single custom rom, I would wait little bit for release of 7t pro and buy the 7 pro version.
Have you tried maybe the usb plugs from ali like quick connect..

I personally advise to purchase the OP7. It's my best best phone so far (dual speakers, same ufs3, same main camera...).
But... I've paid 381€ for the 8/256 chinese version in a much nicer red colour. There's no important difference between global and chinese versions (charger plug, instructions language...). You've even got 1 year official warranty!
Joan Tur (OP7)
Do you guys recommend buying the OnePlus 7 now? I can get a pre-owned 6GB with 10 months warranty with insurance remaining. Around 75% of that price I can get a 6T with a few months warranty remaining. Also I can't afford a 7T. Which phone do you guys recommend?
Tbh I wouldnt get either phone
Theres a lot more phones coming out this year with better specs

New Pixel C battery and keyboards

Assuming it's ok to share items for sale here???
I purchased this battery from eBay a few mos ago: https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-High-Q...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
And then broke my Pixel-C screen before I could install it
The seller is in China and has reduced his price to $28. I paid $35 for mine.
I'll sell if for $25 including shipping to any location in the US. Pls let me know if you're interested.
I also have a near-new Pixel C metal keyboard that is in perfect condition and a leather folio keyboard in excellent condition.
Will sell each for $25 (including shipping)
If you want both keyboards and the battery, I'll sell for $60 including shipping.
Can send photos to any prospective buyers who want them.
I installed one of these batteries, they're legit. Hard to install but doable!

Like I said in your thread, the hardest and sketchiest part is getting the screen off, that job is already half done for you. The actual connectors inside the device are pretty easy to deal with if you've ever repaired a tablet/phone.

Yeah i messed up the screen not worth trying to fix anymore I also screwed up the volume switch trying to clean it out after glue got in it from the last time i tried to glue the screen back on.
So at this point I'm trying to figure out the best upgrade tablet to buy that has good rom or LineageOS support going forward any suggestion's ?
Or I could just buy another Pixel C selling super cheap on ebay but thats no fun

I know Samsung is having some decent deals on their tablets. The Galaxy Tab S6 Lite is available for a decent price if you are able to trade in a newish phone, or tablet, but even without the trade-in its still at somewhat reasonable price for performance.
I did not want an iPad or a Samsung tablet so I went for a Pixel C, I dont regret the decision but I do wish there was something else Android. I dont like the idea of either an expensive Samsung that probably will be difficult or impossible to install another rom on, or some complete trash no name from Amazon.

After researching around theres not to many options or companies making tablets seems the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite and the Galaxy Tab S5e are the only 2 with rom or LineageOS support that I can find. The S5e seems to be a bit more powerful offering a 6mb ram version and has official LineageOS support the Tab S6 Lite is the cheaper budget tablet but offers the pen and offering only Unofficial LineageOS.
I'd love to be able to upgrade and get the new Galaxy Tab S7 or S7+ the top of the line tablets out now but no rom support out at all from what I see ?
The Pixel C is a bit old release date was 2015 I could just buy another one super cheap on ebay but think maybe its time to get something newer at this point?
Any one have any other suggestions ?
If you need any Pixel C Keyboards you can check out the sale here where they are just $9.99 for a brand new one Brand New Pixel C Keyboard $9.99 eBay
