Only if you have a software issue that would require it. Which is very unlikely in most cases. I have only done this once and that was to reinstall iOS due to a software bug with one of apples native applications.

The big difference between Samsung and Google when it comes to the fold is thier focus. The pixels fold has a great front screen that just happens to be on a folding phone lol. The inner screen has no advantage outside of being bigger.

Samsung has always made its focus the big folding display. All of their refinement is based on improving the experience on the big screen. The front screen was never meant to be the main display of the phone. I appreciate that a lot, it kind of makes use the big display and all its glory.

One of the reasons I actually canceled my pixel fold order was because of the front display. Why do I want to pay 1800 for a phone I will rarely open lol.

I would love a folding iPhone. I really like my fold 5 but my 13 pro is still my daily use phone. I think once rcs supports hits, I may fully switch over to android.

This is why spotlight search is your best friend.

The important lesson here is the shop fucked you over. They told you they thought they had a work around. When in fact they didn’t have a work around. I would check your work order you submitted via Samsung in a week or so to see if it was ever complete. If it’s marked as completed not only did you pay out of pocket to the shop. They also got paid by Samsung for completing the repair as well.

The edge panel is probably the best feature of one ui.

Obligatory no one cares about this outside of The United States lol.

I find android to more addictive. You have the freedom of customization with just about anything you want. I actually prefer using iPhone because I don’t use it as much because it’s boring lol.

Being careless does not equal a less durable phone lol.

I bought Bluetooth headphones and never looked back lol. You can just get a usb-c to 3.5 dongle. Why does everyone assume not head phone jack means the end of wired headphones lol.
