Share your Fold 8 Homescreens and widget ideas
I just finished mine. This is my first foldable so I don't want to miss out on features or widgets that I may not be aware of.

For those of you using a case with a built in screen protector, where the glass is attached to the case and sits on top of the screen, how well does it work? Does the touchscreen still respond normally?

Anybody else have problems with their order?
I ordered my Galaxy z fold 8 ultra on August 6th with a delivery date if August 13th. The status has not gone passed the order confirmed stage though. Below the order confirmed part is says "Preorder
Estimated delivery: There has been an unexpected delay, we will update
the new delivery date at the earliest."
The items I got with it say preparing for shipment though.
I have contacted Samsung but they just tell me to hold on and that they have no other information. I got a pretty good deal with a trade in, so I would hate to cancel it.
Is anybody else going through this? Is this a common issue? I expected some delay as I got the green 1TB, but I'm just kinda getting worried.

Fold8 Torras Case w/Stand Initial Thoughts
My Fold8 is on back order but I wanted to shed some light on my initial experience with a case I bought from a reputable company I've bought from multiple times before. Some things that I really like about this case :
• well rounded protection including the hinge without much added bulk
• stand that is adjustable to vertical or landscape orientation
• grippy texture
• doesn't require any double sided tape like some of the other cases I have seen
• included two glass screen protectors
I'm hoping to have the phone soon but for the time being I'm impressed with the case overall.

Anybody experiencing any issues with the dust resistance?
I work a job with a lot of dust in the air I mean a lot is that something that's going to screw with the device? Should I just stick with a slab phone?

Picture quality
Hey everyone. I'm coming from a S25 Ultra and I am struggling a bit with the picture quality. I dont care much for a telephoto lense and dont need anything about 5x zoom realistically. But I feel the 1x photos dont match with my S25 Ultra. I did the fix to get 24mp but I can still see a difference. Like lighting and sometimes it produces off colors.
I still absolutely love this phone but with my son is growing fast, I want to have the best pictures of him. Am I crazy??? Any tips to help sharpen images or just make overall quality better. Thanks!

App optimization
Some of the IG content that is posted is obviously meant for a different aspect ratio than our Fold 8. But some content comes out blurry, almost like it is buffering. Im on wifi too so its definitely not a connection issue. You think we can expect updates to apps like IG and YouTube especially with iPhone ultra likely having the same aspect ratio??

Is there a way to unblur the top of the screen? I know it's a small nitpick....

Anti reflective film that comes w/ Samsung fold 8 back case......
Does that double as a screen protector? Or do you need to add a separate screen protector on top?

My contribution...
Didn't buy a skin just channelled my inner 5 year old and hit it with some stickers😋 I use the cheap case on the back because it has this felt finish that shows zero fingerprints unlike a lot of the Aramid fiber ones. Cheers!

Fold 8 - noticeable hinge play after just 10 days.
My Fold 7 is 10 months old and still feels like new. Meanwhile, my Fold 8 is only 10 days old and already has noticeable hinge play.
When fully folded, if I hold the phone between my palms and gently rock the two halves against each other, I can clearly feel them moving relative to each other, accompanied by a slight creaking/clicking sound from the hinge.
Doing exactly the same with my Fold 7 and it’s rock solid.
I’ve seen the Fold 8 teardown and noticed that its hinge design is simpler than the one in the Fold 7/Fold 8 Ultra, but I didn’t expect such a noticeable difference after just 10 days of very gentle use.
I’m curious whether other Fold 8 owners have noticed similar hinge play over time, or whether theirs are still completely solid.
Today, I went to the official Samsung store where I purchased the phone, intending to either have it replaced or get a refund.
However, they refused both options because my phone supposedly shows signs of “use and wear.”
You can clearly see the “wear” in the photo.
So apparently, it’s somehow my fault that the paint is already coming off the corners of a $2,000+ phone after just 10 days of gentle use.
We escalated the case to a supervisor and are expecting a response on Monday.
It’s just ridiculous that I have to prove that a $2,000+ device should not behave like this after less than two weeks of normal, careful use.

Inner Screen Cleaning
Does anybody know what the safest way to clean fingerprints off the main screen is? Microfiber maybe? I have been using the corner of a shirt and I'm scared to bear down too hard.
