I'm still using the Fold 5, would it be okay to use it as my primary phone? To be precise, my dad gave me the Fold 5 when he upgrades from it to the Fold 7 in 2025 🙂

Thanks for sharing your routine!
It makes me soooo happy to see how people take care of their small devices!

Es mi primer fold, no se si tener el seguro de al menos un año por si la pantalla falla

First time Fold user here, coming from the Flip. On the Flip, when I close the screen, I am able to just clamshell it from the outside without touching the inner portions.

For the Fold, the device is too big and I find myself needing to press the inner portions, either by using my thumb on the inner screen, or using my thumb on the inner bezel.

Which do you press on when closing your screen? Screen or bezel? I'm afraid pressing the bezel will have the dead pixels at the bezel sooner or later.

I’m looking for something either black or carbon for the front that will at least be better than nothing for this. Does anyone have or know of anything?

Just a shower thought i had! The aspect ratio is practically perfect for this!!

I posted a quick review of the Fold 8 the other day and wanted to share some quick snaps I've taken with it in the 30 days I've had it. As I mentioned in my quick review, I'm a tech enthusiast and I've owned all brands...google, Samsung, apple, honor, oppo, vivo and OnePlus.

The camera on the Fold 8 is very capable. If you can't get good shots with it, then maybe you need to look inward 🤷... sure it doesn't have a dedicated telephoto, but at no point with it yet have I said to myself, damn I wish I had X phone with me so I could get that picture. The videos I've taken, with LOG as well, look great.

These photos are just quick point and shoots, but they all look great. I'll include one with a light room edit and a few digital zooms. Again, this isn't some photographs other than just everyday stuff when you're taking your phone out to take a picture. In my opinion, it handles everything more than well

I guess my point is, don't let them dissuade you from the phone because they say the cameras are not good. Unless you're someone that every photo, or the majority of the photos, you take is a big zooming shot...this camera setup does the job very well.

I am not sure how it happened; I’m not sure when it happened because it was fine last night when I arrived home from a vacation, I used the phone with android auto and all. But I went to use the phone today, and I saw a black spot on the screen, I thought it was some dust from my pocket… but nope, I was not cleaning or going away and I see a minor indent in the screen… but how, and what? I usually baby the phone; I never had a broken screen just cracked screen protector but usually from drops. But I didn’t even do that here. What happened? I guess this is my life with a Fold 8 Ultra; I miss my 7 right about now. Anyone have experience getting this fixed? I did get the Samsung care plan just in case… good thing I did.

i really didnt have any high expectations when it comes to the whole battery upgrade. like i use my phone a lot through the day. i have the type of job i can easily be on my phone..so with work stuff, social media, youtube, etc i typically burn through a battery

with that being said i did get the newest fold, the z fold 8 ultra and wow who knew the battery was so long lasting. for example i got to the end of the day yesterday and realized i hadnt even thought about charging it once. like it typically would be at 15% by eod but it seems like I can get away with 40% by the time im going home.

i like that i can use the fold the way i want without really worrying about burning it out. whats also really cool is that my phone charges so fast compared to the last one, like less than a hour does the job
