3 months agoFor people with phones newer than me, I just don’t see the point in spending money to upgrade to what is by all accounts basically just the exact same phone they’re already holding. Just feels like an unnecessary waste of money to me. They’re not bad by any means, just unexciting and predictable.
If it’s been a couple of years already, I think it’s fine, those incremental updates do add up and a lot of times, Samsung gives pretty good trade in bonuses depending where you live. I wasn’t planning on upgrading from a Fold 3 to a Fold 6 but after pre-order discounts, trade in bonuses and bundle deals, I basically got a new phone for only 30% the full price of the device.
I’ve used a Z Fold since 2021 and I can’t imagine going back. The convenience of having a small tablet in your pocket is way too useful. It’s replaced my Kindle and also my Surface at the time for note taking. It was also fairly narrow which made it great for one handed use.
The new ones are much wider and lost the pen support though so I can’t imagine “upgrading” to them unless they bring those back. I’ll just replace the battery when needed and keep using my current one.
