To confirm I may well have a streak of insanity (🤯) I purchased a Galaxy Z Fold7 and also got a Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 with some severe discount.
Hat tip to my ISP and mobile phone services provider 2Degrees here in New Zealand who I been with more than a decade. They always look after me.

My 2 ABSOLUTE PET HATES -- increasing number of "Voice activated" stuff even for those hideous call centres -- "Please say what you are calling about today " especially when in a public place -- "Yes how do I keep out of jail because I beat somebody up last week and I have to be in court tomorrow " !!

Or somebody's scammed from their bank account and then they ask for security code etc -- just give people the option of KEYBOARD entry !!!!!!! and those "tethering smart watches" -- why would anybody even think of wanting to use those --you might just as well get an implant into your brain instead.

The basic phones are still fine !!!.

I LIKE new tech (on the whole) but it's not always better or convenient.

Where voice activated systems SHOULD be used is never in practice where they should be-- for example in the UK (and it's by no means the only place for this type of thing so not having a go at the UK ) at loads of railway stations they have ticket machines -- but instead of just being able to say "Please give me cheapest train ticket between A and B today" there's about 9 zillion buttons to press and it takes longer to use those - especially if stuck behind some person who makes even 1 small mistake and goes through the whole thing again about 3 times - so if there's actually a human at a ticket desk - even if there's a long line it's usually quicker !!!

Any UK person here just try London's Kings X station (The main train station for longer distance trains - not the "touch things- used to be called Oyster cards but credit cards etc OK" which works very well for the Metro (Tube) / surburban rail system at around 16.30 on a Thursday which seems to be the "New Friday" these days. !!!

And please don't even get me started on Car parking apps. !!!

@Marcus Vinicus "Pax Robotica" !!!

Cheers
