I've made a list of the cheapest possible way to get this new phone, here's how:

1. Rakuten: Sign up through my link for a $50 bonus here.
2. Activate: Search “Samsung” on Rakuten and click Shop Now.
3. Trade in: Select a phone worth the maximum $1,200 trade-in credit.
4. Promo Code: Use PAYPAL100 at checkout for another $100 off.
5. Rewards: Pay with a Samsung Galaxy Card for 5% back.
6. Total: After the trade-in, PAYPAL100, 2% Rakuten cashback, card rewards, and $50 bonus, your effective total is about $694 before tax.

Samsung Offer Program members should compare their special price here. Make sure PAYPAL100 and Rakuten cashback are active before ordering.

The biggest argument I hear against including a UDC (Under-display camera) is that the front camera quality is slightly fuzzier, which has never been a big deal for me considering a front cam with UDC is still more clear than smartphones from ~10 years ago which were more than good enough.

With the flip and fold 8, this argument goes away completely

On the flip 8, you can use the 50mp main cameras as selfie cams, it will give you much higher quality than the holepunch in the front, there is basically no reason to use the holepunch anymore

The argument that holepunch gives higher quality is completely nullified by this fact, there is no reason we need the holepunch so that the inferior selfie cam can have slightly more clarity

On the fold 8, there is a hole punch on both screens - so if the UDC is so awful on the big screen, you could use the hole punch on the small screen

There literally is no argument anymore for why UDC should not be included

It was a feature on previous phones before being downgraded to holepunch

The legal dispute is over, Samsung is free to use UDC all they want

Why the hell are we still making outdated looking phones with a giant pothole in the middle of the beautiful 1000 nit peak brightness amoled screen?

Its so incredibly infuriating, Samsung will not be getting my money for these old looking products
