TFA complains a lot about the camera, specifically about poor quality night pictures which are not sharp enough. However the pictures displayed look fine for a phone camera. Am I missing something?
This years Razr looks like a very cool device. It would be awesome to have more high-end choices other than Samsung or Apple.
I really like how small this phone is. Have played around with my friend's brand new z-fold a few weeks ago and it's neat but quite the chunkster (they fold out be a small tablet, but are almost twice as thick as a typical phone).
At 74mm wide, it's as wide as most android phones, and noticeably bigger than "smaller" mainstream phones like the pixel 8 (70.8mm) or the S24 (70.6mm). True, it's much shorter than those phones, but for gripping ergonomics it's the width that matters the most.
All I want is a phone I can put in my front pocket that doesn’t force me to change my gait. Height and thickness matters more to me, and 3mm extra width seems a negligible trade off
I was going to joke that there would be people who would want to use this phone exclusively one-handed in closed mode, but the pictures make it look too wide for that.
It's much wider than my iPhone mini which is 64.8mm and much thinner.
It seems so weird that some people are calling for Samsung to considerably increase the width of the Galaxy Fold outside front screen. Samsung merely increased the front screen width about 1 mm from 67 to 68 mm for the Fold 5 to 6, respectively. Most of the people with folded phone mainly use the main inside screen unfolded and the outside front screen just to take calls where comfortable grip is important. What's Motorola thinking when they designed the phone width of 74 mm, you need to have a full size gorilla hands to grip the phone and hold it for answering the calls comfortably.
Maybe it's fine for you but for the vast majority of the users namely women and people from Asia region their hands are relatively smaller for comfortably one hand handling of the phone and the fact that folded phone is thicker when fold.
You're really underestimating how much the folding helps with handling.
The shortened length makes it extremely easy to handle with a single hand, and fits much better inside a pocket (a lot less cumbersome to pull out of a tight spot!)
Depending on how long my device lasts, I might make the move permanently to folding phones.
