A few days left before pre-order ends but I'm still not decided to get Flip 7

Hey all.

First of all, I am happy for those who have received their newest Flip phones. I've been using Flip 6 for a year and using a flip phone was really a great ride. This is why I am still keen to move to Flip 7 to get the full cover screen, keep a phone which acts as its own tripod, and for it's overall novelty.

But there are things that just doesn't sit well with me. As a Flip 6 user for a year, I have encountered issues which I think are not directly addressed on Flip 7. That's why I am posting this so you guys can refute my claims, especially if they are not true anymore, and help me clarify things about Flip 7.

  1. Selfie cam: I loved taking photos using my cover screen. It's like a cheat code for taking ultrawide selfies. However, I've noticed that when there's a lot of people in the photo (not a selfie anymore but a group-fie lol), the bokeh blurs out the people behind. I really couldn't find my way disabling the bokeh. Is this still existing in Flip 7?

  2. Cover Screen Apps: Samsung has been claiming that you can do more with the screen because of the full screen display. But how many more apps have adapted their UX to the cover screen? Flip 6 has limited native cover apps and more apps can be used by enabling Good Lock. But the apps are not resizing natively to the cover screen. If this still happens in Flip 7, then the apps' UX remains to be the limiting factor to the usability of the cover screen.

  3. Exynos vs Battery: there has been some news about exynos not really being battery-friendly. Has anyone tried it out with Flip 7?

These are all my thoughts which prevent me from getting Flip 7 and wanting to get a Fold instead. But with Fold, I wouldn't be able to end a call by folding unlike in Flip where I can just close the phone with sass 😅
