    I 100% agree with you on the presentation. It's ridiculous that they keep charging more for phones but they keep taking things away year after year. You go back 10 years ago to when I got my first android, it was the Galaxy Note 3. That phone was like $500 or $600, I think, and it came with a charging brick and headphones. Now, you don't get the charging brick, you don't get headphones, you don't get a headphone jack, you don't even get a dongle to convert USB C to 3.5mm, so you're on the hook for that if you want to use wired headphones. It's insane and needs to stop. They don't even allow expandable storage anymore, and they used to have removable batteries too. Plus they remove cool little features as well. My Note 3 had an IR blaster so I could use it as a TV remote - that shit really came in handy when I was at a restaurant or somewhere with an obnoxiously loud TV. I could just turn it down with my phone. For a while, Samsung even put heart rate monitors in their phones, but I don't think they do that anymore either. We need to get more features and more accessories out of these phones if they're going to charge more year-over-year. Keep doing what you're doing, brother. Keep putting pressure on them!

The only redeeming feature of the Z Fold 3 5G is the Samsung DeX, which I can use to stream services like Max to my TV.

      "P.S. BRING THE 3.5MM JACK BACK" and have them lose money on their wireless ear buds? lmao why on earth would they do that? I dunno might be a thing for some folks but as someone whose almost 30, with OCD, I hope headphone jacks never return. All my youth I absolutely hated wires connecting my ears to whatever I was listening to music on, it always annoyed the hell out of me. Hell, I hate wires so much that I don't even like plugging my phone in to charge it, I always use wireless charging. Now maybe thats just one of my flaws, like people who somehow constantly drop their phones (to this day have never once dropped or even scratched my phone/screen, my devices upon trading them always look like they were just removed from their packaging), so yeh maybe it's just my flaw when it comes to things, but I seriously can't understand why folks want head phone jacks back. it baffles me...We're supposed to move forward..not backwards.

    Bro I still remember when I unboxed my OnePlus One. It was the first phone I could ever buy outright with money in the bank. It came with that sick red charging cable, and it was presented in such an incredible way; even the box it shipped in was exactly the right size. To this day I've never had a nicer phone unboxing experience. I even remember sitting at my parent's table and pulling up the tab, opening the side door like oh my wowwww. It was my favorite phone if all time and I still got the box and everything even though my brother trashed the phone it's in its box looking like a wreck... But the unboxing experience was next level and I'll remember that forever. I'm still chasing that feel when I get a new phone. THAT'S why presentation matters.

I was leaving AT&T anyway due to their stupid policy where phones on installment plans can't be used on other accounts otherwise they blacklist them, which destroys the trading game in the community... So I'll be getting a flip 5 with a new carrier which is fine cause, for both t-mobile and verizon especially t-mobile, it looks like I can get a flip 5 with trade in and new line for absolutely $0. I'm down with that.

  • @toadsage

    Much respect, Floss. I bought the RAZR+ about a month ago but, between the subpar camera, low amount of RAM (compared to my S21 Ultra), horrible cell reception and wifi, and the subpar android skin (I'm a Samsung/OneUI fanboy), it just wasn't doing it for me. So I returned it and waited it out for Samsung to release the Flip 5. Currently typing this on my Flip 5 and I love it. The cover display is not as versatile, but using GoodLock I can use most apps on the cover display with minimal problems, so it's good enough for me. Compared to my S21 Ultra, the Flip 5 is worse in almost every category, but it's still better than the RAZR+ simply because it has the Samsung skin on Android. Can't wait to see what they do with the Flip 6 next year! I might upgrade yearly if they bring back the $900 trade-in + $50 credit like they had for folks who upgraded from Flip 4 to Flip 5 this year.

      @nkmensah I'm not failing to account for inflation. Inflation has nothing to do with receiving less things in the box than we use to. This whole thing where companies don't put chargers, dongles, screen protectors or even headphones started long before the inflation we're seeing today. Plus.... during inflation like there is now, that doesn't equate to spending more for less. In the world of inflation, we're spending a lot more for the same products than just two years ago. We're spending more money for just a phone than we are for a phone, charger, dongle, headphones, screen protector, etc that came in the same package. If I'm paying top dollar for a product, I want all the basic accessories with it instead of paying more to buy them separately. E waste? I don't give two shits about e waste, especially when it comes to getting the bang for my buck. One household with at least one USB adapter I guess would be fine if there was only one person in that household instead of a whole family sharing one USB adapter. You'd be in denial if you said otherwise. 🙄
