Is there some pre-requiset for writers on this site to just spout utter trash and you MUST drink the apple coolaide or something? Or are you leaning hard into the satire and delusion at this point?

Don't worry, fangirls, you will get these features on the next foldable; maybe you will get the S Pen support back.

Common Samsung bring back the full SPen Bluetooth package. Maybe bring some kind of machine learning features to the SPen

Damn am I glad I waited to see what Apple did before committing to the Fold 8. Samsung, you should be ashamed of yourselves.

It is highly probable that these features will be reinstated. Following Apple's recent strategic adjustments, it is anticipated that a variable aperture camera will be integrated into the S27 series, and S Pen support will be restored for the Fold 9 lineup.

I'm sorry, Sammy, but Apple cooked. Reheating leftovers is a fair description of a company copying your features, and it is a strange thing to say about a phone that arrived with three things you removed.


Facts 💯.

Pencil support really not practical due to no where to really put it and hopefully that screen is really reinforced. But the UDC looks really good, not sure why Samsung went away from that.

Looking forward to the pre-order!

"But the UDC looks really good"


Is this based on personal experience? That footage of it on MKBHD's video wasn't impressive.

There has to be because the over processed swoon of this device is unnecessary. I definitely applaud Pencil support on the Duo because using iPad Mini's can awkward. The quality of the UDC remains to be seen. Of course it looks good on the keynote images but the way it looked on MKBHD's video was not it. And the hinge allowing it to be halfway open is a good feature for a device that size. That said, aside from the opening & closing animation, there's nothing revolutionary about the Duo.
