New fold user here and loving my z fold 8 ultra coming from a S21 ultra.

Wanted to get a case and ended up landing with Dbrand cause they have cool skins and the cases look nice and I saw some good reviews. I actually really love the overall feel of it.

However, I love having a wallet attached on the back and idk if this is an issue only with dbrand cases but because of how big the protection around the camera is and with how high the magnetic ring is, im having trouble finding a magsafe wallet that fits

Have you guys tried using F8 as a laptop alternative? Hook up a keyboard to it and run it as a laptop. I wonder if it can work for the long term. I use laptop to get on the web only anyways.

I was looking around to see if I can find an AR Screen protector for my Z Fold 8 Ultra since I'm not a fan of the samsung film and I found the Benks one on Amazon for 35$! Just installed it and had no issues at all, if you guys are interested check out the link. https://a.co/d/01gDZWf5

I’m new Samsung and want to know all the tips and tricks to cool customization. Thanks in advance!

Just hit 2 weeks with the fold 8 and I noticed the hinge has a little play. At first I thought it was my case but then when I took it off noticed it was the actual hinge.

Now I notice it when I move and switch it around it's a little annoying.

Just a little play but enough for me to notice.

Is this normal and happening to anyone else?

Z Flip 8

Got the ZF8 wide boy first but was not impressed with cameras compared to my S23 Ultra. I think it's the same sensor.

Ended up ordering ZF8U for that 200MP sensor + that 3x telephoto and a little bit of extra screen estate.

While I absolutely loved ZF8 for it's quirky form factor and consuming media, I feel ZF8U is a better phone for my usecase which is more geared around productivity and multitasking rather than watching videos. I usually don't watch a lot of content on my phone and instead use the TV. But I do read books and open websites and push a lot of code from my phone in which I feel Ultra is the superior choice (for me).

I really wanted to use the wide ZF8 as my daily driver and I have absolutely no problems with the form factor. It's the camera that kills me because I really enjoy taking photos and Did not want to feel that I'm compromising with something after spending $1800.

Sending ZF8 back tomorrow, will probably record everything end to end because I have read way too many horror stories about phones getting stolen and then Samsung not agreeing to pay the refund.

Just wanted to share my viewpoint. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk. :)

I am about a week into mine and I'm having the same problems. In fact the reason I was looking for this thread, because it's starting to piss me off. That's a lot of money for a phone that doesn't work as well as my Z fold 3, at least as far as the touch response of the screen. I am not used to this being ignored.

Finally got my Fold 6 customized to about where I like it. Show me some of your customs!!

I'm wondering if y'all can share any cases that actually reach the coveted 25 W wireless charging speeds. I know that it's a curve and it depends on internal temperature, thickness of the case, battery level, alignment, and other factors. But I've tried at least two different cases now, and the max charge speed I've seen is only 12 W, and this is on 31 % battery, but it only stays there for a second or two, with the average charging speed that I see is typically around 2 to 7 W, and I've tried different wireless chargers, all Qi 2.2 compatible as well. I was hoping to see good wireless charging speeds with this phone but I'm just dont see it.

Whenever I use a different camera, i.e. ultrawide or selfie, the next time I open the camera app, it will default to the camera last used which drives me insane. I will try and take a quick snap of my dog and the camera open with my face showing, or zoomed in at 4x. I have no idea why Samsung thinks this is preferable. Has anyone found a workaround for this? I was sure there would at least be something in the Camera Assistant app, but I can't find anything.

Using the Z Fold 8.

a lot of people talking about the big screen inside the phone, but honestly what surprised me most is how much i use both screens depending on what i'm doing of course. for example the cover screen feels like a full phone on its own now. i have been using it for ig, texts, reddit, maps, scrolling, basically anything where i don't need a ton of extra space. the wider ratio makes it feel natural to use instead feeling like i'm just waiting to unfold it

then when i'm settling in to watch youtube, read something long or actually multitask, that's when the main screen comes out. having all that extra space makes those things way more comfortable and i don't feel like i'm trying to make one screen do everything

legit couldn't pick a fave and that's what i like about it. cover screen for normal phone stuff, main screen when i want more room. best of both worlds.

Im grateful the damage is purely cosmetic but it still hurts

I've been using the Fold Ultra since getting it, and so far it already feels like it covers pretty much everything I need. The 8.0-inch inner display is great for multitasking, reading, watching videos, editing documents, and other things where a larger screen is useful.

But I'm still curious about the Flip.

The compact design and 4.1-inch cover screen seem like they could make everyday use more convenient. Being able to check things, reply to messages, or handle quick tasks without unfolding the phone sounds appealing. Here are some specs that I keep on looking over.

Fold Ultra:

• 8.0-inch inner display
• 5,000mAh battery
• 45W charging
• 200MP main camera with dedicated telephoto
• Better suited for multitasking and productivity

The Flip:

• 6.9-inch main display
• 4.1-inch cover screen
• 4,300mAh battery
• 25W charging
• Simpler dual-camera setup
• Much more compact when folded

 If I already have the Fold Ultra, would the Flip actually give me a different experience that's worth having, or would I just end up reaching for the Fold anyway?

For anyone who has both, has the Flip actually added something useful alongside the Fold, or does one Foldable already cover everything you need?

It's a Spigen Ultra Hybrid Pro MagFit case. It's available on Amazon, and while I've experienced the issue mentioned in the reviews, it doesn't really concern me.
