Based on the speculation of $750 max trade in towards s24u it's actually cheaper for me to get the fold5 instead of the upcoming s24u. No way I'd be able to find an s23u online for $200 to use as trade in

Using Flip5 for the last 6 months, my unsolicited pros and cons:
Cons:
1. Battery life is lacking. More so if you use the internal full screen a lot.
2. Single hand usage is difficult.
3. Cover screen lets you do only so much as viewing weather, setting alarm, etc. Other apps are accessible but not practically useable full time.
4. Camera is subpar for current standards.
5. Samsung restricts a lot of basic functionality on cover screen like changing quick setting toggles, adding app widgets, etc. No native support for app launchers or phone app.
6. I've heard a lot of samsung foldable screens having issues. I had to get it replaced at 3 month mark due to the green line issue. Apparently, this is a common problem, especially to those out of warranty.
7. You cannot call/answer in folded mode unless the speaker is on.
Pros:
1. Carrying is easier due to size.
2. Video calls and cam recording are handy if you can use the folded mode often.
3. Cover screen eliminates the need of a smart watch unless you use it for activity tracking. Cover screen is more like a bigger watch in terms of functionality.
I really wish Oneplus brings a competing Flip phone given how well their software was for their Fold phone.
