don't see any reasons to upgrade from my fold 2, seems like 3 is a nothingburger release (or strictly for newcomers)

It's great to finally get some type of water resistance (versus NO water resistance) and S-Pen support.

I've said it from the beginning that the big screen could be put to better use from a productivity standpoint by adding S-Pen.

It would solely depend on how tough they manage to get the new screen. On my fold 2 I can permanently mark the screen with accidental fingernail pressure, there's no way I'd risk a pen nib on a Fold 3 screen (if i had one) until I see some good testing done.

Does Canada have any similar reserve offers like the US? Looking to upgrade from my 12 Pro Max, kind of bored of Apple and like the idea of a mini tablet in my pocket.

Isn't the 12PM a tablet? :p lol

My N20U is the reason why I rarely use my iPad Air 4 and not like I wish that I had a tablet in my pocket.

Pricing doesn't help either.

Thought that they were also going to give details on the S21 FE. I was hoping to learn more as that's the next device that I am eyeing.

I wish they would let the under display camera technology mature more before putting it in the flagship device... because while it sounds impressive on paper, it's still kind of half-ass at this point. Quality is crap and it's not 100% hidden.

Not sure if I agree, the S-pen should be included to begin with (because Samsung ONLY wants you to use the Fold-specific S-pen with the retractable tip to protect the screen) and the other stuff are always bundled on the older Fold models. The accessories really don't cost that much when you're paying $2500-3000 for a phone...

If anyone is pre-ordering you'll get 2 year samsung care+ with the code in your email. I guess I am waiting for next gen, Both folds are still not using QHD panels.
