Please respect comments by others.

A few random things I have discovered that are actually pretty cool:

1 -- That chunky hinge on some cases (the one covering the folding edge) is useful. When the device is fully open and I am watching Netflix, I can hook my fingers around it and hold the whole thing surprisingly comfortably with one hand while the device is funky opened.

2 -- Apparently I was today years old when I discovered what those lights around the camera are doing. They are scanning my retina to unlock the phone. This feature has literally never worked properly for me on previous Galaxy phones, but somehow it works now.

3 -- I just discovered that the power button is a fingerprint sensor. Where has this been all my life? The fingerprint sensor under the glass on my previous Galaxy phones has never worked for me.

4 -- YMMV, but I can binge watch Netflix and the phone barely heats up. The screen does not get noticeably warm either. Not even minimal heat.

5 -- There is one 'downside' to having less glare for me. When I am lying on the sofa watching videos, I sometimes use the screen reflection to spy on what my boyfriend is doing in the kitchen, behind my back. Fold 8 is terrible for that because the screen has less reflection now.

I won't know what magic woo woo Spigen, Ringke, or others put on their TPU or PC materials used in their Galaxy S line to justify jacking up the price to a hundred plus.

They don't know what's going on.

They tell me opposite things each time I call.

They sent me to corporate to return my phone for Bring It Back program but corporate turned me away.

They say things about billing and do the opposite.

They overcharge.

And when you call them again, they have no clue what's going on.

It doesn't help that English language is a frustratingly issue as well in terms of communication.
