I haven't heard of these products though that's the point. Without a big marketing budget how can you call it copying when they could have both come up with the same idea but one person executed it better to the point where people have heard about it.

every person in the world of mobile phones knows Huawei, and almost everyone know the PURA X, just because you never heard about it, does not mean they dont exist. go check it in the internet and then comeback and tell me its not a copy

I was interested until you said the s-pen wasn't supported.

For years you have been ragging about they should remkve the S-pen. Your claim was no one uses it.


Now they have gotten rid of ot, and you're complaining about it not being there.


You so quick to wanna talk crap about Samsung, you not even stabsing behind your own words.


So do you want the pen or not?


And the pen digitizer was removed, because WACOM didnt have one thin enough to work in the new thin Fold 7.


Again yoi all werw whining abiut jow Chinese brand phknes werw sonthin and Samsung needed to do the same. But as usual, you dont think abiut the fact that as you have seen with about, making things pretty usually means losing functionality.


And there are pens thst do work with these phones even if Samsung didnt make them. The one by Adonit, that have the disk at the tip work perfectly.

So whem Samsung made the 1st foldable, that means everyone else is a copy regardless of wther its wide or tall or short. Right?

To call the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra rather "Z Fold 7 S" is unfair: Finally, no crease, a 14% battery increase, a new 50MP ultrawide camera, and my favorite one, maybe, due to the titanium layer, no longer a plastic feeling when you touch the folding screen.

Samsung should have not name it the ultra. They should have kept it the Samsung.

They could have named the new phkne the Galaxy Fold Passport or Fold Duo, or Fold Mini or Fold "anything else".

Also I do agree the original Fold 8 shouldn't be called the 8 Ultra.


However the other 2 devixes are Z Flip and Z Fold. And they could have kept this one name the Fold 8.

I have one that doesn't have that disc, and aside from a few S pen tricks, it works great on both screens!

Its Android first of all, and Android works in all kinds of aspect ratios, unlike the iPhones. Also iPhones still have that major app issue to this day. Especially when Apple still gets their developers to create separate iPhone apps, and separate iPad apps. We have heard that Apple was going to make a foldable iPhone since the Fold 3. Every year the same thing. Yet for the 8th version Samsung makes 2 foldable types this year, and they still make the flip type of foldable as well. We still don't know what Apple is actually releasing. Apple could be releasing a flip or fold type. Who knows, but each year has passed and still nothing from Apple. I will say it again, Samsung is on their 8th year of foldables. Ask yourself where is Apple again?
