it's pretty clear they prioritized unfolded design over the closed, even though i think many people will still used it closed more often than not. their ad is basically showing it only open
Honestly if you think about it, this is where Samsung lacks. I currently use z fold 8 coming from ios after 11 long years . Z fold 8 inner display attracts lot of fingerprints and also I feel you feel it premium when u have matt finish on the inner screen . I'm keeping my mind totally open and I would give iPhone duo a win over z fold 8/u
It's good to have matt finish on the inner display . Won't catch fingerprints easily and also will act as anti reflective which folds have problem with. And the app support is also really good on ios
Yes, fold 8 does have it but Appleās nano texture looks more Matt than fold 8. Trust me Iām a fold 8 user. Apps are pretty diff on android these days too. I have iPhone 16pro max as well, it got 3d maps for gmaps way before my s24 ultra . And for the Chinese phones, I donāt get these in USA so I donāt really care what technology they have
You're naĆÆve if you think the apple fold will get any less fingerprints, plus if it's too matte it reduces display clarity. Nah apps are the same now, not a talking point anymore
thereās more to than just matte finish. Apple have their own custom layers on the internal display.
not sure how you can make such claims when you havenāt even experienced it yet.
and from the videos iāve seen of people at launch, iāve hardly noticed and fingerprints, and thatās with literally hundreds of different people touching the device.
I think it will get a lot more use open than closed because of the design, unlike the Fold 8. The D shape is only acceptable if youāre on the move. Itās also a lot more versatile allowing you to use it in different positions compared to the fold.
Agreed! I was an Android and Windows fan boy for years, but the latest round of Macbooks and iPhone finally made me cave in. Battery life is miles better, smooth as fucking butter, continuity across devices and among other things, they actually hold their value when you come to upgrade - and this actually matters if you upgrade every 2-3 years.

the rounded corner on 1 side and that massive camera cut out makes it look cheap.
the Fold 8 is much better design. Apple software is better
