Global smartphone shipments increased 7.8% to 289.4 million units during January-March, with Samsung, at 20.8% market share, clinching the top phonemaker spot from Apple.
Can’t recommend unfortunately. My wifes Flip3 was repaired two times, and now the plastic film on the display loosened a third time. She now bought a fairphone.
You are correct, oneui is still bloated and awful but their flagship processors are getting good enough that you don’t feel the bloat quite as painfully as you used to.
I swear to god, 90% of “feeling the bloat” is completely artificial. Go to dev settings and turn up the speed on all the animations. Everything is faster.
My biggest issue is the settings menu being a fucking mess. The new categories suck hard. Wanna see an overview of your storage? Well it used to be under “usage” with your data and battery, but data usage got moved to “connections” with bluetooth and wifi. Now data usage lives under “battery and device care”, conveniently placed 6th from the bottom of the list for easy access.
Had the fold since 2. The Fold 5 is a tank compared to the Fold 3. I have dropped my fold 5 from a moving motorcycle in the rain. The Fold 3 was the most problematic. My wife has the Fold 4 and it is ok.
We’ve had mixed results. Wife and I both had Galaxy Z Flip4. I dropped mine repeatedly and it’s still going strong (though I have since upgraded). Wife never abused hers and the inner screen started dying right after the warranty expired. Probably more luck of the draw than flip related.
Ngl, the Samsung foldables look sick as hell. But I’m not ready to go back to OneUI bloat or whatever they’re doing with SamsungAI.

And don’t even get me started on these motherfuckers taking up 5 separate spaces for what could be a single “display” category.

I recommend the warranty on all these phones.
Maybe the flip is awesome but the fold is a pain the fucking ass
The EU version is super nice. Don’t know what the carriers do in the US but the EU version is pretty good and can only say good things about the OneUI
