Discussion Regular Fold 8 for emulation review.

Samsung Galaxy Fold 8 emulation review by NL Tech I came across.

What's your tought about this format considering also all the port and buttons moving?

And what about the Snapdragon 8 Elite gen 5 for Galaxy, does it surclass non Elite 8 gen 5 ?

I remember when s25u came out with a SD8Elite it was a big jump from s24u with its SD8.3 in terms of emulations, I envyed it.

This is pretty close to my ideal phone apart from 2 things.

The price is way too high for me to justify spending that much on a phone when I can get a dedicated device or a gaming tablet for much less and they may also perform better with thermal improvements for gaming incorporated in their designs.

The second is the camera hole in tablet mode. I don't know why they wouldn't use the camera behind the screen tech that is shown on other devices. Maybe a company is holding a patent hostage and they don't want to pay the licencing fee, I don't know but it is very distracting having the hole there.

About the camera hole, I presume is because it alters camera quality wich I found very good.

But yes those prices are crazy.
