"But the UDC looks really good"


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

Ha! I typed that all wrong smh. I was really talking towards having UDC again. Having uninterrupted screen is definitely the move. The actual picture quality is still trash no matter who does it lol. My bad, didn't mean to let the community down smh lol

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

Honestly I really never used my s-pen on the previous Folds that supported it due to the fact that there was no where to put it unless you bought that ugly case. If the pen/pencil doesn't have Bluetooth then my finger can do everything the pen can and I'm a good Ole note fan from the beginning!

The only thing I wish Samsung would bring back is the UDC. They should have put that on the Fold 8 since they marketed it as a "media consumption device and left the punch hole on the Fold Ultra. Other than that the Duo doesn't really do anything that advanced that the Fold 8 already does. This glazing needs to be dialed back by a lot!

With that being said this 16PM or iPhone Air is getting traded in in OCT for the Duo lol.

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.

Exactly! The glazing is outta control! Flex mode is cool but now that Samsung had forced me to use tent mode on my Fold 8 I kinda like that a little better lol. Every time I used flex mode on the Fold 7 I would always mess up trying to press the controls on the bottom half of the screen but that's probably a me problem lol

LOL. I'm glad you found a solution.

I'm still good on using a foldable as a main for now. I'm hopeful for the S27 Ultra being worthy of me getting. I guess we'll see 5 months from now or so.

LOL. I was about to say. All the videos I've seen of the UDC on the Duo have all been quite unimpressive.
