Makes sense. It still feels about 2 decades older than the z7.

What makes you say that, it's not even released?
From the feel pov it's heavier and thicker. That z7 is really like nothing else when you have it in the hand. See Michael Fishers review. The fold 10 does have some cool things and I love the software of the pixels. 3 of my in laws have had pixel for at least 5 years.

After holding the z7 everything else now looks and feels old. The fold 10 obviously won't be a bad phone. Just wide front screen and heavier but that's just me. Also plenty of reviews even pre released.

I've calmed down on the 100x zoom pigeon photos for now where it's clearly making stuff up, but the AI zoom is still really good at cleaning up mid / low-light stuff at high zoom levels:

The os is terrible.
I know it's android, and I've used android since the oneplus one, but I need customisation that Samsung and oneplus offer, and so to find it not in vanilla android is a little frustrating.

This being ui configuration means I can't get on with it, it's too cluttered, and even the home/back/applications navigation bars can't be reordered.
Given I've had it the way I have had it since 2014; it's a seemingly small thing that's causing me to not like the whole device.

I'll persevere, as I've just dropped £78 on a case and screen protector 😂😂, used a custom launcher to see if I can get it to a tolerable state, but it's going to take a lot of work.
I increased the dpi of the icons, but unfoldered, they're huge, they don't seem to scale very well.

I'm sure if I scale back the icon size it won't be an issue.
It's a lot of f**king around when they could just have things like folders in the app drawer by default.

See, for me, the icons when closed are the ideal size, but when open, they're huge.



Then it's just a wall of apps, whereas on my Samsung I have pages (like the home screen)
Nova supports this, I think, but I really don't see why freedom of the app drawer isn't standard.

Nope, I can't find a launcher that will let me have full bespoke pagination in the app drawer (I've tried 3, so not a huge amount)

Remember when I told you the zfold 7 was light years ahead of it? It's been a bit of a buggy mess by all accounts.

Listen to Kev eh.

I detailed my reasons for not wanting a Samsung, notably the best part of £2k with no warranty, on a phone that folds in the f**king middle, it's probably best I retain a warranty and live with the software quirks.
