Mishaal Rahman and FragmentedChicken are in South Korea for Samsung Unpacked!

It's weird with time zones but they'll be on for the next hour or so. They're juggling on-the-ground stuff at the press conference so post any questions here and they'll respond once they can!

Edit: We've left the hands-on area, but feel free to continue posting your questions. We'll continue to answer them if we can, and might have another opportunity with some of the devices.

For articles about Samsung's latest announcements, see the Megathread sticky at !android@lemdro.id.

  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

Appreciate the answers, and can definitely understand colors were the least of your interest haha. But since you did mention "hinge, crease, software", I'm going to ask about that (if you don't mind). In MKBHD's video I noticed the foldable a don't really open fully flat. More like 179.5°. Is that camera distortion, or maybe a faulty device that Marques had a hands-on with? Or is it just a drawback of the hinges with teardrop creasing display, just like is the case with the Pixel Fold?

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