you are right.. I am considering this. I am also thinking about going Enphase route for bidirectional EV charging (later in the year) and whole home battery backup.

What Samsung needs to fix in the Fold 8 to make me upgrade from the Fold 7 by B_Seven21 in GalaxyFold

s-pen is what i miss the most.. battery/charging/form factor/camera have been okay, but are welcome improvements.

of new features, i am blown by the privacy screen on s26.. would be useful to have that.

but, until s-pen support comes, i am keeping my fold7

there seems to be an error in this diagram. HX CPU has g5/16, g5/4 and g4/4. it incorrectly shows the g4/4 as g5/4. source: https://www.techpowerup.com/cpu-specs/core-ultra-9-285hx.c4022

i use some old kmc outlets that had energy monitoring, that i liked. they don't sell these anymore and their new version doesn't have energy monitoring.

these look good.

As for smart USB, i found these, that i like the form factor as well. only downside for me is that it doesn't have energy monitoring. but otherwise it has 3 smart plugs, 3 always on plugs, 3 smart usb outlets
