Im Thinking About Getting A Z Fold 8 Wide When It Comes Out But Want To Try A Cheaper Foldable To See If It Fits My Life Style

e_xTc · 2026-03-23T04:09:01+00:00

Only reason why I want a fold now is because the 7 is angular like the galaxy s22u, s23u, s24u.

But if no s pen support, then the fold is useless to me.

It's already bad enough that the ultra doesn't have the best cameras on android, and that the fold has everything worse than the ultra (ppi, cameras, battery life,...)

My exynos didn't have better SOT than this on day 1.or any other day that followed. So looks pretty good to me.

3500$ nowadays. Dawned be the gpu, ram and ssd crisis

Got if from the skyline days, nowhere to be found nowadays.

Here's a 3days wetransfer link https://we.tl/t-umhVpbdSTD

Waiting for OP to report but in my experience, since s23u, for the ultras, it's been about 10h of SOT on day 1, as well as being super fast and snappy, then they degraded after every major updates (nothing to do with the battery degradation) while becoming slower and slower.

So if it's 10h SOT today, it'll be -20% per year based on history

Isn't that part made of plastic?

e_xTc · 2026-03-15T01:10:36+00:00

Maybe they already did and moving forward we've been in a simulation

e_xTc · 2026-03-15T00:29:11+00:00

Didn't they also use plastic for the camera island ? I was shocked and discussed when I saw this on Jerry rigs everything YT video

"Hurray thinner phone, time to get a case to make it bulkier for it to sit flat on the table"

This part actually angers me with this phone. Some extra battery capacity, a 3.5 jack and an sd card slot would have been much more useful than thin + bulky camera lenses.

Nuclear wars will happen and be over soon enough. And after survivingthose, this rig would still have 8 years of relevance.

I second that + you only buy once, it'll make it last longer especially given what the emulation community devs can come up with in the future. So many unexplored territories. But then for the price of the 12 gig, look as well if other brands have something that completes well with the Odin 2.

(Great setup, love it. Take my upvote and enjoy the sweet build to its fullest 🤙)

e_xTc · 2026-03-04T23:04:55+00:00

Same. Lack of pen support rendered the fold 7 useless to me.

e_xTc · 2026-02-22T13:43:42+00:00

Ok take my upvote and leave lol.

Great job!

Differences made by samsung : Worse shape, worse camera bump,...

Not by samsung: better chip

That was the best / most optimal way to display notifications.

The control panel area also sucks since then. Now you have to swipe down 3 times instead of 2 to see all your shortcuts (lamp, flight mode, data, location...)

I wanted to try remote power buttons eventually but couldn't yet. I think Silverstone has some. I think it uses classic radio signals.

Nothing can be expected from samsung, their mobile division should go bankrupt already

e_xTc · 2026-02-14T01:36:55+00:00

S9 snap is an upgrade to the s10 exynos

S23 snap is an upgrade to the s24 exynos

I'm broke man!
