    There's no doubt that this phone is an extraordinary feat of engineering. The phone is amazing to look at, however, I don't think it's great for everyday use. I'm not talking about the functionality of the phone but the design itself.
    I've been using the Samsung Fold since launch and while I try to be extremely careful with it, I've dropped it multiple times, even with a case, there are still some mark and light damage to the phone.
    There's no way you can you a case on this one and if you drop it, it's pretty much over.

          It's still easy, but just takes longer on a P40 beacuse you have to install the framework too.

          • matt-ozb on 20/07/2020 - 23:22

            @Freezies: I think the Mate 30 was like this, right? Seemed a bit easier according to XDA forum comments … unlike the P40 Pro.

          I have also got the p40 pro, it was fairly straight forward and quick to get it going with google apps. The only issue I have is I can't get gmail notification, every other app that I use work without any issues, including all my banking apps that some people were saying wouldn't work.

              @nadan: Right didn't know that…. Light reading suggests this Aurora store supports Android TV. Could this mean this can be used to install apps on Android TV that aren't showing on the Play Store on the TV?

              • nadan on 20/07/2020 - 23:39

                @bigbadboogieman: Yes, if you have an android TV. You just need to spoof an android phone and you will be good to go.

        • Void on 21/07/2020 - 11:42

          My comment's point wasn't that 4GB RAM is good for phone software we have now, but that a phone's software shouldn't be eating so much. Neg ensues. I agree, all a phone does is what my 4GB RAM Acer Aspire switch could do, browse the web and maaaybe do some light gaming (not really into that).

          I own a v50. Even without a continuous screen, it is still super useful.

          But the difference is that you haven't heard v50 owners complained about hinges being loosened, while fold uses have that issue. It's worse for fold uses cause the hinge loosening makes the crease in the middle more apparent, making the full screen viewing experience worse.

    Hong Kong (CNN Business)Samsung's latest bendable screen technology has been stolen and sold to two Chinese companies, according to prosecutors in South Korea.

    The Suwon District Prosecutor's Office charged 11 people on Thursday with stealing tech secrets from Samsung (SSNLF), the office said in a statement.
    The prosecutors allege that a Samsung supplier leaked blueprints of Samsung's "flexible OLED edge panel 3D lamination" to a company that it had set up. That company then sold the tech secrets to the Chinese firms for nearly $14 million, according to the prosecutors.
    They did not name the people or companies involved in the theft.
    Samsung Display, a subsidiary of the South Korean conglomerate, said in a statement Friday that it was "surprised and appalled at the results of the investigation by prosecutors."
    The findings come at a time of intensifying competition for new tech among rivals.

      First of all, judging the cost of the actual device aside, the deal is some $600 cheaper compared to all other retailers are selling for in. Secondly, "first/advancement" of something is always expensive, thats just how tech works. IBM's first commercial hard drive held 5mb of data at a cost of $10,000/mb with the system. Frankly if money wasn't an issue and if this phone had support for GMS. I'd buy this over the galaxy fold as the design is just so much better.

        Well 20 people seem to agree with me added to which, just because it is the cheapest price does not mean it is a bargain. To me a bargain is an item that is worth below what I would think it would be worth. This phone is not worth 3 and half thousand dollars. Just like when the 1st 4k televisions came out and they cost $15 000 +, just because a retailer discounted it by $1000 still did not make it a bargain.

        I understand what you are saying, just disagreeing. Yes, new tech costs more, always does. Cheaper, by all means yes, but a bargain, no.

        • Italkdigital on 22/07/2020 - 13:48
