Not on your own, waiting on the Fold 2 TBH I managed to not buy the Fold 1, and went with Note 10+.

But this time out really want that Fold 2 with Camera Hole and full another screen, do that which is leaked and I'm sold!

The only other downside was no SD slot on Fold 1 compared to Note 10, where I have 800GB.

Clareman

I have the Note 10+ 512 and a 512 SD, I don't think I'll be getting anything this year, the fold is a bit too big for me just yet, I have a work phone as well as a personal phone and I don't think a fold plus another phone would be feasible to carry around.

Have they mentioned the new Galaxy watch yet?

The unpacking is 3pm locally everywhere so it's been out everywhere for a while now, I think it was leaked on Twitter a couple of days ago, in fairness at this stage there are very few surprises at the event itself.

Watch up now

If only google pay or Samsung pay worked here on the watch

Clareman

Isn't that a problem with the banks rather than the technology though???

Old school banks here are behind the curve but Revolut etc works with apple, fitbit and Garmin....but not Samsung.

Clareman

I didn't know that, I just use my credit card for everything and pay it off monthly so I'm well behind the curve for banking.

I notice the bronze models are the only ones available on pre-order just yet, feck that

Clareman

I wouldn't have thought there'd be a big overlap between fans of BTS and a phone costing about 2 grand.

I want a fold 2 and I want one NOW!

I missed most of it ,I had to take a work call.

Is it 2 versions 41mm and 45mm and 2 colours in each?

I thought I read somewhere that there would be about 6 different versions altogether.

I've had the 2 Watches and the Active 2, I'm wearing the larger Watch now.

I think there's going to be different colours, straps, sizes and a titanium model

Nothing is jumping out for me to want that over the Note to be honest.

If I was to get anything it would be the Note Ultra in black

Clareman

When yerman was saying about 5G and foldables being the pillars of their future I thought the phone behind him had a picture of Anne Frank

Yes its the titanium model I was thinking of.No mention of it for pre order.

I've a Gear Sport on its last legs so I'm in the market for a new watch.

Clareman

I've the Note Ultra 5G and the S7+ in my basket at the moment, I think I should turn off the laptop now.

Clareman

Free Buds Live or XBox gaming with the Ultra, Buds Plus with the normal 20.

Missed the fold but have a Note 20 Ultra 5G in the basket.
Trading a Note 10+ @ €400 so not too bad.
Buds live look good.

Only issue for me is I don't think the Ultra 5G is dual SIM.
I've been running 2 numbers on the Galaxy's for years.

I might look at the fold.

Edit: Checked out the fold. Looks great but I couldn't live with the wedge shape when folded. Makes it very bulky........

Is there any draw back by using the Samsung UK site to purchase?
Same promotions but with a 5% cash back offer through top cashback.co.uk.

I've used them a few times for cash back offers and found them perfect.

On the Galaxy watch I would be saving approx €35.

No issues at all afaik, my Note 10+ was bought in the UK and I didn't have any problem
