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

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!

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. :^)

I am interested in hearing your impressions after several weeks of use.

For example, some users appear to find the form factor too short and have moved successfully to the Z Fold 8 Ultra

How are things progressing? How many of you have returned to the Z Fold 8 or to slab phones such as the Galaxy?

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.

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?

So question for everyone with a fold 8. What ring holders are you rocking? I've tried like 5 different ones and can't seem to find one that's comfortable. Right now I have the kenu 10 in 1 and I like it but it's also really thick and adds some weight to the phone. So open to any ideas. Thanks in advance

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)

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?

It's $1699 there and $1899 at Samsung. Yes, you get $400 in additional money to spend but def comes out $200 cheaper at BB with my trade in.

Have an S26 and Samsung gives me $400 and BB gives $500.

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

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.

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'm really interested in if anyone has gotten a magsafe adapter to work on their fault and if they had to use a skin as I'm open to exploring this option but not if it doesn't work.

In the picture I have found the thinnest magsafe case and ring holder I could and I'm somewhat satisfied with it but I'm really tempted to look at a magsafe magnet directly on the phone but have had no success with the fold seven.

Keen to hear others insight

Can someone just attach a photo they took on snap and how does the inner screen work on snap is there any fixes to it as I’ve seen it’s bugged

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?

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

Does anyone put their z fold 8 in their cycling jersey without a pouch or anything, just in a jersey pocket directly? Im nervous to do so

Ok so as the title says, my z fold 8 will go up to max volume after a text comes in. I can be on TikTok, IG, YT, etc. have the volume set to .25 or .5 and as soon as the text notification completes its pop up, the volume shoots up to max volume. I can't seem to find the setting to fix this. Anyone have any advice or know how to remedy this?

Looking to upgrade from my s23 to a zfold 8 ultra. Played with it a bit in store and really like it. Issue is i work in flatbed trucking so need a nice durable case for it if i pull the trigger. I have been a diehard otterbox user for years now and it has never disappointed.. but due to that i know nect to nothing about other cases, and would like one that is magsafe which otter is not.

What are some good options? Been browsing amazon a bit, but reciews only reassure me so far when its a tool i meed for work as well as fun 😅

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

Following up on another thread:

https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyFold/s/09PqcfeNmY

Is anyone using a ring holder or stand that attaches magnetically to a MagSafe-compatible case, but still allows you to use other MagSafe accessories and wireless charging withouth removing the Ring?
