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.

Questions to both (or either)
Does any device presented today feel like a meaningful upgrade? I can’t remember the last time everything was so incremental. Even the bigger outer screen on the Flip 5 is just that, bigger screen. It’s still a limited set of widgets, only this time bigger. How much difference does that make?
Is the s-pen case for the Fold 5 actually something that’s usable? Or does it make the whole device an unwieldy brick?
Does the dock with up to 4 recent apps on the Fold 5 feel more useful and convenient, or rather overwhelming and cluttered?
What color variants do you see there for all those devices? Which do you like the most?
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.)
Didn’t get to get this but will ask tomorrow if we can get our hands on it
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.
Didn’t really get a chance to appreciate the colors, sorry! Was more focused on stuff like the hinge, crease, software, etc
