Your experience with Fold 7

I bought the Fold 7 back in January and I must say that coming from an iPhone Pro Max, this thing has been a fucking nightmare of a device. Apps work horribly, battery life is horrible, Samsung care keeps "looking into my request" for the subscription then just never responding. I have filed for Samsung care 4 times and not once ever received a response on a yes or no. First time in as about 5 hours after buying the phone back in January. Still waiting to hear back on that one.

The fold is such cool tech, but apps operate worse than my iPhone, and worse than my girlfriends Pixel 8 Pro. Half the time apps barely work, battery commits suicide if I try to do anything other than lightly browse the web, and with a proper case on my phone, it suffers from the home button not working. Reddit constantly resets my feed Everytime I go back a page, so does grubhub, Instagram and a couple other apps. Apps bug out constantly for no apparent reason.

Has this been everyone else's experience? I'd be less pissed about this if it wasn't for the fact I paid $2,000 for this device that works empirically worse than an iPhone from 4 years ago.

Do you think a factory reset would resolve some of my issues?

I am not 100% sure why but recently every time I use almost any app, the back button completely refreshes the app. It's actually become the most annoying thing to experience. If I click any post and press the back key reddit completely refreshes. Same thing in Instagram, and other apps. I'm not sure if every app just unilaterally adopted a new way of handling this or if android just made a horrible design decision but truly it is driving me nuts.

Has anyone experienced this?
