Slap a Redmi logo on the back instead and I wouldn’t even question it.

Why would EU ever do that?

I’m in the exact same position and if there are no compelling Black Friday deals for the S23, I’m probably gonna hold on another year. Or I’m gonna go back to OnePlus.

B-but think of the shareholders!

TL;DR - You have to install a malicious app that pretends to be something else, then the app will try trick you into installing another APK (to which you have to specifically agree), and then your phone gets malware.

That makes a terrifying amount of sense and I never looked at this issue from the angle you presented. God damn it, fucking capitalism.

Appreciate the answers, and can definitely understand colors were the least of your interest haha. But since you did mention “hinge, crease, software”, I’m going to ask about that (if you don’t mind). In MKBHD’s video I noticed the foldable a don’t really open fully flat. More like 179.5°. Is that camera distortion, or maybe a faulty device that Marques had a hands-on with? Or is it just a drawback of the hinges with teardrop creasing display, just like is the case with the Pixel Fold?

Questions to both (or either)

1. Does any device presented today feel like a meaningful upgrade? I can’t remember the last time everything was so incremental. Even the bigger outer screen on the Flip 5 is just that, bigger screen. It’s still a limited set of widgets, only this time bigger. How much difference does that make?

2. Is the s-pen case for the Fold 5 actually something that’s usable? Or does it make the whole device an unwieldy brick?

3. Does the dock with up to 4 recent apps on the Fold 5 feel more useful and convenient, or rather overwhelming and cluttered?

4. What color variants do you see there for all those devices? Which do you like the most?
