I’ve been using the Galaxy Z Fold 8 for a little while now, and I honestly didn’t expect my opinion on it to change this much.

There are things about this phone that I immediately loved, but there are also a few things that I thought I would care about way more than I actually do.

The wider cover screen has completely changed how I use the phone, the inner display is still something I find myself opening just because I can, and I’m starting to realize that using a foldable every day is less about having a “phone that turns into a tablet” and more about having a phone that gives you different ways to use it depending on what you’re doing.

And some of the little things have surprised me too. The way it feels in my hand, how often I actually unfold it, the camera experience, and even how differently I interact with apps compared to a normal phone.

I’m still figuring out exactly where I stand with it, but that’s honestly what makes this phone so interesting to use. I feel like every few days I notice something I didn’t think about when I first picked it up.

Curious what other Fold users have experienced what’s something about your Fold that you didn’t really understand or appreciate until you had been using it for a while?

Huawei has unveiled this new non-folding, 16:9.5 format today—I love it.

It costs $692 as a reference 💀😭

Thank you guys for helping me to buy the s25u

I tried setting a wallpaper from Zedge, this happened and idk how to crop it

it's a live wallpaper so idk how to download

So its been 2 weeks since getting the 8 Ultra and I love it. Worth trading in my S25 Plus for the $1,900 carrier promo credit. At 6.5in display and having the same width as the base s26 for the front display makes it a very solid day to day phone without having to open all the time like the previous models. I've owned the fold 3, fold 4, fold 6 and pretty much every S ultra lines with some pluses in between.

Maybe I'm one of the lucky ones but I've never had any issues with heating or screen displays. People freak out about peeling the inner screen protector but that's the first thing I did was replace it with a matte screen protector. At first I had put the privacy protector on the inner screen then changed it to just a matte one which works great. Visibility is awesome just as long you get a high quality one, i hate glares. But in my front screen I do have the privacy matte protector and have no complaints.(DOES NOT RUIN YOUR SCREEN TAKING OFF YOUR INNER SCREEN PROTECTOR AND DOES NOT VOID YOUR SAMSUNG WARRANTY)

I've ran multiple applications, gaming, be on video call while charging, ran apps like Rave that would usually heat up phones and it has stayed cool the whole time. Game extended periods and the cooling on it has been great.

My honeymoon phase for any phone goes away after like an hour of receiving it so this is a phone I can definitely recommend if you want a foldable. You can't go wrong with the 8 wide either but after playing with it multiple times, I liked the ultra feel better. This is probably the first Samsung Foldable that's worth keeping a couple of years if your not the type of person to upgrade all the time and take advantage of your carrier deals, people talk about how expensive it is but who really pays full price. I'm only in the phone for $200 overall.

If the fold is not your cup of tea and looking to upgrade, wait for the s27 ultra which would have alot of the cons from the s26 ultra worked out. S26u runs a little warm compared to my fold 8 ultra but I'm sure it gets fixed with the s27u like what samsung has always done. Fold 7 little warm but it got fixed with the fold 8 ultra models. I always advice people to wait 1 model after any major changes with any phone company and take advantage of preorders.

Glad that this ending and not getting forced notifications to sync with OneDrive.

I'd Say

1st S21 Ultra (Black)
2nd S7 Edge (yes rico kaboom)
3rd Note 3 (White)

My beloved buds ( R170 )

unleashed it's full potential and gave me the infinite battery.

jokes aside, will a battery replacement fix this issue and restore it's play time?

My first flagship phone

Recently bought the Samsung Galaxy S26 256GB (Cobalt) for ₹60K including exchange.
Here’s the deal:
● ₹2.5K instant SBI credit card discount during the Independence Day sale
● Exchanged my Samsung S21 FE with a 6–7 green-line issue — got ₹10K exchange value
● Final phone price: ₹60K including exchange
● Also paid ₹6K extra for a 2-year extended warranty, which was offered at 50% off for purchases above ₹60K
The offer was available during the Independence Day sale.
For those who recently bought the S26, what was the best price you managed to get, including exchange and bank offers?

After 7 full years, my Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra has reaxhed the end of its journey. It has fallen from rooftops, it has seen its fair amounts of puddles and showers, mud and sand, everything that would've killed it. It has never (not even once) touched a repair shop or anything. Everything is as it was since day 1 of its release.

The display its dying, and I won't spend $350 repairing an old and aging phone. So Ill get the S26U instead.

Its been a hell of a run soldier, time to finally rest.
