As per title, can you please let us use the app without google. Thank you.

I'm glad i upgraded, finally getting 8.5+ hours of screen on time with a fold. Screen off time and Standby time has also been amazing. In the evening I've only seen about 5-7% drop in battery from about 11pm to 6am. This is also with shizuku, vpn, bitdefender, eufy security and (bixby offline) running 24/7 in the background. I guess that silicon battery is paying off for samsung.

I did uninstall a bunch of google apps especially gemini using canta so that might have helped a bit but i also did that with my fold7 so there's that.

No more battery anxiety with samsung foldable i guess.

I must add that the anti reflection on the inner display is also amazing. It is still a fingerprint magnet but very much less visible compared to the zfold7 so I'm not wiping it as often as before.

That's my first week with the zfold8ultra, i hope you guys are enjoying it as much as i am.
