Hi, should I update to android 11? How about battery life in android 11? Any other issue still exist in android 11? Thanks

Just grabbed one in 'as new' condition for 35% of the new launch price with the Galaxy buds, with good warranty remaining all beautifully boxed and presented, such great buying at those $s, a lot of phone/tech for reasonable money now. Fold 1 4G is a premium phone open the fold for content viewing or exploring, working, multi-tasking and use the front screen which is plenty big enough to do quick things easily, most apps I use can be seen on the front screen. Not as big a fan of the Android 11 update the menu structure has been dumb down, making it harder to find options that you need. Importantly the screens of the fold always delight when you pick it up to use, it actually works well as a phone getting good reception, clear speaker, easy to 'navigate'.Tthe new UI allow lots customisability, I am mindful of bloatware from Samsung with more add-ons appearing for Bixby there about 4 associated apps [I don't use Bixby/voice assistants anyway]. 521Gb memory for me is plenty and I use the e-sim function which works well with my Samsung LTE watch. 5G, my last phone had it, I couldn't tell any great advantages [where I am for the network, so not a biggy, 4g/LTE work well]. There's a lot of talk of the s pen, [which of course don't work on the Folds 1 or 2] but I use an old capacitve [rubber bumper tip] stylus on mine and it works well on both the inner and outer screens, would like to source a more slimmer tipped unit, but my current works fine. Overall.
I'm a Happy Fold 1 owner.

A quick answer to most questions and silly answers. People who talk about thick or foldable phones, plastic screens, size of front screen 4in, etc. have to be realistic:
1. Ever tried to use a Nokia Communicatior from 13 years back. E90 - communicators? Ever check the screen on those? If you dont remember, then this phone will be think and useless.
2. The 4In front screen is just a little smaller and slimmer than the original Iphone. All loved that phone.
3. We as humans 20 years ago, wanted smaller and smaller phones, now we want the biggest. So to have a hugh screen which folds into a small compact version, is not bad.
4. This phone is expensive to make. The screen i am sure is not easy to develop and reproduce. All foldables have been expensive. If anyone owns a mercedes, why do you own one? isnt it too much, why couldnt you buy a honda?
I have had this phone for a 1 year now. My review:
1. Beats my note 20 ultra for battery life.
2. 512 is plenty of space for me.
3. Media is fantastic on this.
4. The small screen is good for 1 handed use and quick browsing.
5. The durability is beyond what i expected. I have dropped my phone a few times. A few knicks, but no damage to any of the screens.
6. Its perfect for my work (digital business). Can do a whole host of things at the same time.
People have to stop complaining about price. Every single thing you own in your house; there are two types of. Expensive version and cheap version. Dyson hairdryer and cheap hairdryer; alienware computer or cheap computer; normal tv or samsung 100in.
So with this phone, you either buy a normal phone or this one. The fold users dont look at you and say yours is shit.
If you have the money buy a new one, if you can find a 2nd hand one, its worth it. If its too expensive buy a phone you like. There are 100's out there.
Thats my peace. Any comments?

Anonymous, 27 Dec 20191. Samsung's foldable display repeatedly folds inwards close to 180 degrees, a similar display... moreSuch a thing isn't possible right now. Glass doesn't fold, not the type of glass used on normal smartphones. The chose plastic because, you know, it can fold.

I think pop up selfie camera is a right choice for galaxy fold instead of 6 cameras. Samsung should use A80 camera

It folds the wrong way! Even when folded it's 160cm so what's even the point? Too long for a pocket and really heavy so it's better just to take your laptop with you

Oflife, 24 Jan 2020Got to play with one at CES (customer had not, not on the Samsung booth). It is quite magical ... moreMorotola has taken a more practical approach? Are you kidding me... The phone has been released for a month, is barely available, ship dates keep getting pushed back, internals are old and slow, screen is a disaster, etc. So practical means garbage? Please.....

This phone would be awesome if the screen on the front (while folded) was a bit bigger. Perhaps others will have something I like in the future :)

Got to play with one at CES (customer had not, not on the Samsung booth). It is quite magical in real life, in particular as he had it in a skin case, so it looked pretty cool. You cannot get an idea of how amazing it is to unfold (and fold) a folding display from any photos or videos, you have to try it. The screen is superb, but the crease is obvious. It does feel well made, but the execution is flawed as others have pointed out. Motorola have taken a far more practical approach, and the next Samsung folding phone based on the same concept at Moto is also more practical. I just hope it has an S-Pen so we can use it like a real flip open notepad!
