It definitely looks like it opens completely flat to me, like 180 degrees.

What exactly do you expect us to do lol? Sneak into TM Roh's bedroom and whisper that in his ear?

  1. Through the Multistar Good Lock module you'll be able to run any app on the cover screen, so I would say the Flip 5 cover screen is indeed a big upgrade. (If you're the kind of person to use Lemmy then you're probably comfortable with installing/sideloading Good Lock.)

  2. Didn't get to get this but will ask tomorrow if we can get our hands on it

  3. My first impression is that the taskbar felt cluttered with 4 recents apps but fortunately in settings you can choose how many recents to show.

  4. Didn't really get a chance to appreciate the colors, sorry! Was more focused on stuff like the hinge, crease, software, etc

Hmm didn't check for that on the demo units but I'll check the unit I'll get and will ask about the other device as well.

I'm here at Unpacked! If y'all have any questions about the devices, I'll try to answer them after the event.

I'll hopefully get hands-on with all the devices, but there's a LOT of people here so I might not be able to get to everything!

(Also I know it's really really early in the States.)

Samsung invited me to the event, but they aren't exerting any control over my posts!

  1. The vibration motor is surprisingly good! When my alarm rings in the morning, the haptics closely match the sound of the alarm.
  2. I always prefer durability over looks, so a nice braided cable is what I'd personally prefer. But I don't think there should be issues with the default cable, not that you have to use it since the phone supports PD charging. (I've only had the phone for 2 weeks, so it's not like I'd have enough time to experience cable failure if that is a problem.)
  3. I prefer side-mounted/capacitive fingerprint readers still, and there has been the occasional time where my fingerprint wasn't recognized, but those are just general woes of optical under-display fingerprint scanners.
  4. Nope!

It looked pretty much the same as before, but the background didn't change colors based on your system theme (Material You dynamic color theming). And yes, the monthly calendar widget is still there, and I believe also gets dynamic color support.

I haven't used the Phone (1), so I can't compare the two.

  1. Hmm, can't really pick one, I'm just an overall fan of how "stock Android-like" Nothing OS 2.0 is, and I mean that in the sense that Nothing has largely retained the design language of Pixel Android (Material You) and has borrowed many GMS features (like Safety Hub, Game Dashboard, etc.)

  2. Coming from the Zenfone 9, it definitely strains my hand more since it's larger and heftier.

  3. Glyph lights definitely don't replace the regular torch functionality in terms of light coverage (btw, in Nothing OS 2.0, you can now long-press the Flashlight QS tile to turn on all Glyph lights at once).

  1. It did not come with a case in the box.

  2. I'll have to come back to this one, as I can't do any comparisons.
