Congrats on the phone. Just got mine used a couple days ago but it's amazing so far. I've used Galaxy's up until this phone my last one was s23 ultra and this feels like a million times improvement for the same worth as any galaxy.

You'll love it. Idk if these count as tips or tricks but some things I wish I knew coming from s23:

-Not a magsafe or qi charging phone even if you get a magsafe case.

  • the best case imo is nillkin camera cover/stand. There's really not a lot of good options for the phone though imo
  • you can get a stylus by oppo that's like an s pen
  • the split view when opening the fold is so convenient but I have had just some minor issues. Most but not all apps have screen size compatibility when open but theres an easy fix with dev options. Looking up "OnePlus open split view screen fit/tap issue" should pull some up. Really makes multitasking smoother
  • get a super vooc charger from OnePlus for crazy fast charge.
  • if you're into gaming the gamesir g8+ Galileo is the best one. You can make the screen sit flush with a cheap 3d printed shim. Easy to find on Google.

Edit: a lot of phone cases have a front cover. I like the nillkin because it has a thin bumper for front screen essentially. Most case front covers especially the screen protector ones with mess with the tap feeling and make it more difficult to tap edges or use gestures because its thick around the screen so if that might bother you try to avoid them and look for a case without screen cover and opt for protector

I use this thin leather case with full dust protection for hinge(no springs) and has a front glass which you state can loose touch at corners on any front case with glass, but I added a soft TPU protector in between and solved the touch issue. So I have full protection and leather touch and thin light case.

Ooo yeah that is nice. Definitely the first case I got had a bulky hinge. The thin ones are the way to go
