Mobile Services Manager via ATT - Friendly reminder about invasive bloatware.

Just before I planned on porting my number and moving away from AT&T, I noticed random apps getting installed on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8.

The foldable screen is now 120Hz which is crazy if you think about it. The outer screen is now edge to edge almost and doesn't look weird with the huge bezels that the previous generation had.

Max Weinbach on Twitter: Something Samsung didn't mention about Fold2: it had an anti erosion waterproof coating on the main internal components. Doesn't make it waterproof, but should help it survive a dunk.
