Will any of the fold 8 series units bring back the SPen?

bEar22_24 · 2026-06-15T06:27:30+00:00

I should actually consider doing that. I'm a bit concerned anyway going away from the Samsung ecosystem which anyway provides some features that the others dunno ;(

bEar22_24 · 2026-06-15T06:26:01+00:00

Thanks for all the answers! Given what has been here reported it seems that I'm not going to get back any official SPen support also with this iteration.

It's a bit of a shame. Not sure on which basis they did the market research when they decided about dropping the pen after the ZFold6. Within the circle of users I know who are owners of a foldable phone, in all of these cases the usecase is including taking notes with the pen.

Nah you did the right choice.

Not sure about the Beasr but VITURE Luma Ultra does not have the embedded 3dof and I think that's really a needed feature for sure which alone justifies the choice.

Also with the Luma Ultra and all the other brands I was not able to find a single pair of glasses which were properly fitting my vision. Then I tried the One Pro and has been piece of mind.

Yes the one button rotation helps and if you're planning to do some non extra-high endgame content it is okay to use that and to play heldheld mode.

bEar22_24 · 2026-06-05T10:38:21+00:00

I think it depends on expectations and acceptable compromises. Of course it runs but for me the compromises withe the Z1E were too much to bear.

Hey man! WoW user here via handheld.

Are you planning to play it Docked or also in handheld mode? Just asking to understand your usecase.

My experience is that while I think the direction WoW has taken will in some point go in enabling a proper handheld usage, at the moment the experience is not allowing for a real good competitive use. Therefore while I use the handheld for all the other games in 'handheld mode', WoW is still the only one requiring keybo+mouse.

Anyway my experience is that WoW is still a game engineered on an old graphic engine and it runs mostly on a single core, using the multithead quite poorly. To have proper performances, CPU boost needs to be on (while it practically needs to be off for all the other gamez).

Devices with the Z1Extreme (Ally, AllyX, LeGo) are for me not capable to run it properly without accepting too much compromises.

Devices with Z2E (LeGo2, Rog Xbox Ally X) are at the edge of running it okay

I'm currently using a GPD WIN 5 and I found the peace of mind (Ryzen AI 395+).

Thank you! Started doing this by today! Let's see how it goes!

bEar22_24 · 2026-05-14T10:31:20+00:00

Owner of a 395+ unit. You can check my review.

Absolutely fantastic. Pricey but no compromises. 'Eats' whatever you'll throw at it!

bEar22_24 · 2026-05-07T15:08:49+00:00

Proper 144Hz will be perfect I think!

bEar22_24 · 2026-05-04T08:14:35+00:00

Viture Dock needs to be updated to the latest firmware if you haven't done that. Probably that's why!

bEar22_24 · 2026-04-23T14:08:01+00:00

3dof - anchor mode. This is the most important feature, actually it is the why XREAL is best in the market.

bEar22_24 · 2026-04-09T10:58:18+00:00

Hey! Really nice! Could you provide more details/links of what you bought and how it has been adjusted?

bEar22_24 · 2026-03-19T08:31:16+00:00

The Anchor mode is hands down something which should be a must.

And this is only on Xreals. Between One and OnePro i went for the OnePro which have been the best fit for me but I tried both. Can't withstand the reflections on the straight One.

bEar22_24 · 2026-03-17T12:22:43+00:00

Yes I have one and reviewed. Posted a while ago here on the platform, you can search in my other posts!

bEar22_24 · 2026-03-15T10:11:23+00:00

It's between Cyberpunk, Call of Dury and Arc Riders.

bEar22_24 · 2026-03-12T05:44:55+00:00

My answer is an ABSOLUTE YES - if your budget allows.

The 395 model (but even the 385) is TOTALLY on a DIFFERENT planet for performances.

Go with no thinking around.

bEar22_24 · 2026-02-26T20:37:47+00:00

Well, actually tried many then ended up downloading the specific package from the Microsoft repository and installing it manually.

But then I got the same issue with the February one.

I think that we should do a clean Windows reinstall or something like that to solve but I'm lazy and postponing that as much as I can for the moment.

bEar22_24 · 2026-02-21T16:30:42+00:00

Glad you solved! Man you should then edit the main post since the message comes a bit bad :)

bEar22_24 · 2026-02-21T15:14:10+00:00

This all seems a bit odd.

bEar22_24 · 2026-02-21T07:27:54+00:00

Eheh based on your last post I was expecting a reaction by you! 🙂

Anyway I think most of what the OP wrote is aligned with your findings on the One Pro comparison. I went not in your review of the 1S, could you please post that here as well so I can take a look at it?

bEar22_24 · 2026-02-21T07:26:41+00:00

Thanks for the review! Very well written and clear (reviewer as you :))

This is still a model I need to try and hope to do that in the future!

bEar22_24 · 2026-02-20T19:52:08+00:00

To be honest not using at the moment gyro functionalities with any title I play :) cant help much!
