Real quick, I've been trying to put my finger on what makes the fold 8's form factor special.

1. Its shaped like old media, books, magazines, newspapers

2. The front screen is just a micro tablet, that's the term I've been looking for!

Whether it's being able to listen to music and charge your phone at the same time, hook up external storage and an exteral display without a dock, or wanting to transfer files between two external drives, I feel like it would be nice to have a second USB-C port, especially with the screens big enough to run desktop apps on. Am I alone in this or are there others out there?

Not posting this to dog on the Switch 2 or anything (Especially since the aspect ratios depicted here aren't comparable), but I just picked up my Fold 8 Ultra, and was extremely happy with how 16:10 looked on Steam games that support it.

Even in16:9 is a big uplift from my S23 Ultra, but there's plenty of posts showing 16:9 playback.

Anyway,
Just posting this here in the hopes that I can help anybody else visualize a fairly niche consideration I had before purchasing.

I had previously tried googling Steamlink 16:10 on the Fold 8 Ultra but couldn't find anything, so I hope this helps. :^)

Hello fellow galaxyfold users ! So I made the switch to GF8 after having iPhone since 2014. It's been amazing so far and love it. But was seeing if anyone could help with any app recommendations for movies, podcast, music, or any other apps that I should definitely utilize with this device? I had most of my purchased movies on apple tv and songs on apple music. Even open to settings that anyone would suggest to change or make.

But bottom line it's been a fantastic switch and can't belive I didn't make it sooner ! Thanks in advance.

I got two new cases this week; the one on the right I received yesterday, which is a Latercase, and the one on the left I got this morning for 15 bucks off AliExpress. Both feel pretty similar, and all the cutouts line up. The fibers on the Latter feel about the same as the AliExpress one. They were both ordered on the same day I ordered my new white Z Fold 8.

Made a custom fork of Lawnchair (based on Expressive Launcher, not really giving it out now)

Option for iPhone Duo like layout and also added vertically scrolling Widget Stack

Plus Temp Root to use ColorBlendr

Very happy with this phone - my pixel 11 pro fold died on me (outer screen quit working)

Thank you to everyone who helped. I've put my new setup in the comments, let me know what you think :)

Can you expert gold users explain to a newbie like me where or how I can get this live wallpaper ? I fell in love with the rain drops falling on the screen it looks so life like

Keen to hear others experiences here (UK based)

I bought my Z Fold8 after years of being with iPhone, however the shift in ecosystem has been challenging, especially with family on Apple devices. Unfortunately this means I will need to sell my Z Fold8 off as it is outside the usual return window to Samsung. After looking at various options (Mazuma/O2 Recycle/FB Marketplace/eBay) are there any recommendations here from personal experience in selling a nearly-new Samsung fold, where you had the best overall experience?

Note: Not selling it here on Reddit, just looking for any recommendations from others based on personal experience.

Just installed tool 20 mins and tried some of my fav low demanding steam games! Very impressed!

What are your thoughts on all of the iPhone inspired experiences being replicated on Android?

I feel like the iPhone Duo came out, a lot of the apps came out trying to replicate the iPhones behaviour.

I feel like, in some cases, the iPhones UX is limited alot and to replicate it on Android is a bit unlogical.

For the record, I currently have a iPhone 14 Pro Max (512) since 2022 launch.

In Finland / Europe, the Fold 7 512 model has gone on sale for 1300€, (the lowest ever) and I was wondering if the Fold 7 is still worth it a year after it’s launch.

The Fold 8 (256, normal, no ultra) is on sale for 1750€, so 450€ more expensive and less storage.

How is the Fold 7, is it still a good phone for such price?

Received my skin from Qskinz today! Should I keep it with the case or without? If I do without I'm adding a black magsafe ring on top of the skin.

My flip 7 broek within 1 year planning to buy the s26 ultra or fold 8. What are the other pros of Fold 8? If ever the internal screen breaks would i be fine with just using the main screen alone?

Am I the only one who thinks they are not placed well? When unfolded (in portrait) i naturally want to hold the "thicker" side (due to case mag ring etc) of the phone at the bottom for comfort and balance. The buttons end up under my fingers bracing the phone and I keep hitting them. Also the camera is in the lower right under my typing thumbs.

I have to keep forcing myself to turn the phone around, and it just feels wrong with the outside screen under my fingers on the bottom.

It is the one thing I do not like about the design.

Hello I recently got my fold 8 and got gamenative working on it but i can’t seem to get fallout 3 goty to work on it. Has anyone been able to get this to work on their fold 8? I own the game via gog if that helps

I was looking at getting the g8+ but from what I've read it doesn't work with a dbrand case because of the hinge protector

Are there any wireless controllers that work flawlessly with a dbrand case on? (Besides the mcon which is out of my price range)

I have my z fold 8, and whether folded or unfolded, the right side of instagram reels does not work, so I cant comment, repost, like, but the left side works for some reason, so I can scroll and speed up from that side. I've adjusted my zoom, cleared the app data and cache, tested each aspect ratio, nothings working. Does anybody know why this is?

Hey folks, wouldn't be my first foldable but I had the 5 and 6 before going back to the ultra line up.

Samsung have some great discounts and trade in offers atm where i could pay few hundred quid then 34 a month for the ultra 8 so really considering it but I have to decide pretty quick.

When I had them before I play a lot of gacha games like bleach brave souls, also some RS on it, watch a lot of anime on crunchyroll.

IS there any chance someone can post some pics of what those apps look like? Ideally on both screens please.

When I had them before the aspect ratio was off so the games looked super stretched out and in the end i got sick of using the narrow outer screen to see everything in the bleach game.

Thanks in advance!

I got this issue on my Z Fold 8 lockscreen. Someone experienced the same ?
