questions about Fold 8 Ultra
Hello guys this is day 2 of using my new samsung 8 fold Ultra. and there are few things I wanna ask :
1- when unfolded Youtube looks fantastic on the screen especially when rotated and the comments show to the side which is very nice, but for TikTok and Instagram the comments still show somehow below the video and not to the side like YouTube. Is there any workaround to make it show to the side just like youtube? I tried changing aspect ratio with no luck. Does this look the same on the normal fold 8
2- How is the battery holding for you all ? should I give the phone some time to get used to my usage and optimize ? I'm hearing many people saying battery is great and i'm coming literally from a 5 year old Iphone 13 pro max and somehow i'm not impressed. currently it's 14:20 (started using the phone at 7:45) and the battery is currently 51% and i'm not even sure if it will last me to the end of the day?) is that normal? will it improve with time? honestly i'm still running some whatsapp backups and was installing apps and tweeking settings cause i'm still trying to get used to it switching from an Iphone.
3- How is the keyboard / typing experience for you? i'm coming from a bigger wider display (Iphone 13 pro max) and after installing G-keyboard today morning my experience got slightly better but honestly typing on the narrower display is giving me a hard time. Sometimes I can't even write a whole sentece correctly and i'm depending completely on the autocorrect. Will I get used to it with time? or does this remain a drawback ? my fingers/hands are slighlty large.
Overall I really like the phone and after comparing it with the normal fold 8 I think this is the right one for me I don't like the shorter display of fold 8 and I absolutely need the cameras, but the issues I mentioned are making me hesitant. honestly evertime I unfold the phone I get impressed but I also wished the main screen was slightly wider.
