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?

Hey! What’s the lowest price a Fold has hit during Black Friday? Do you know if it specifically dropped to 1500 euros in Italy?

I’m planning to get the Fold 8 Ultra, but I’m not sure if it’s worth waiting until Black Friday.

The photo "enhancements" on the 50mp camera mode for my Z Fold 8 almost always makes photos look worse than when I use the 24 or even 12mp setting.

I can't seem to find a way to disable the weird smoothing filter the phone auto-applies to 50mp photos... have any of you found a way to de-AI-slopify your photos lol?

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

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.

Like the title, when unfolded i like the lowest zoom setting for displaying more content. But when using it folded in everyday use, thats way to small and i keep having to go and change it every time i unfold. Linda annoying.

Anyone else found a solution for this?

Had the iPhone 13 since release date (roughly 5 years ago? jeez time flies), was a solid phone, but time gets us all and by now it wasn't as smooth of a phone as it used to be for me. So i took a look at what i wanted to get, curiosity took the best of me and i choose this Z Fold 8. First ever foldable i've ever had.

I'm really enjoying it! I love the aspect ratio, felt weird at the beginning but now every other phone feels like a long stick. The amount of customisation you can do to both home and lock screens is also really cool.

Facial recognition is not as smooth as face id on an iPhone, but the finger sensor on the side works like a charm and is really responsive and fast.

I really really enjoy reading on this phone. Aspect ratio is an absolute wonder for a double page book on landscape mode, screen is really crisp and battery lasts a lot.

On the bad side, i do find the camera to be worse than the one on my iPhone on certain apps, also some apps like Instagram are not fully optimized for this aspect ratio but i guess they will solve it now that the iPhone Duo is coming out.

All in all i'm very happy with the purchase.

Case is a DBrand grip with the "black camo" skin and the reader app is CDisplayEX.

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

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?

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.

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'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

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 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

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

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 😅

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?
