I find it hilarious that people are flocking to a device with less repairability and durability… if I had to guess, normies are ditching their laptops/tablets and getting a foldable instead.

The replacement insurance is also pretty cheap considering the device MSRP. They'll do a no-questions-asked device replacement mailed to your door, and ironically your phone still works the whole time in is "normal" slab mode so you don't even miss not having a phone.

these new devices are more durable. samsung has worked out a lot of the issues. to givecredit where credit is due, a lot ofnthe durability upgrdes came from apples demands for their foldable. which hasnt been anounced yet but samsung makes their screens so things get "leaked"

It appeals to me due to aesthetics and the frequent usefulness of a bigger phone/tablet at hand at work.

No way I will consider even buying it at the current price. I might be okay when it's around half the current price.

Android devs spent years optimizing for tall aspect ratios and now we’re straight up being sold a device that is squat and won’t show all of the user view on the outer screen? I’m so confused who would want less onscreen lmao.

A small problem. Not pertaining to viewing documents, spread sheets, zoomed in images and other similar apps largely independent of aspect ratios

Plus I do use split screen which in this case, would be two tall screens still
