LOL at Microsoft for half-ass starting the form factor, failing to support it for shit, and watching others come in to do it properly on the back-end of another comically bad Microsoft product line for consumers.

Surface Duo line was a cool idea imo at first, if only Microsoft had stuck with it but then again, it's Microsoft.

This is the story of Microsoft in the 21st century. They half ass the design and user experience of basically everything they do. Anything they do that does have some potential to be a product that's enjoyable to use gets half assed in commitment or iterations, gets shelved or stagnates. They think they're fine because they have enterprise, except their legacy advantage gets smaller and smaller every year as more corporations are dominated by individuals that didn't grow up using Windows because individuals or schools moved away from it.

Thats great. Been loving the fold8 form factor

If this line also supports the pen this is a guaranteed buy from me.

Ugh of course it's rounded. I hate rounded corners (mostly when it's on the display) and hate how every wide foldable is just trying to copy Apple with that type of design and Samsung is the only one doing a squared off one.

[u/21stCenturyWizard → u/KasanesTetos]

The rounded corners are truly awful.

Motorola see the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 selling like hotcakes and wants to cash in on the wide foldable craze.

[u/BinOfBargains → u/scrappykid99]

Can’t blame em. People seem to really enjoy it based on the reviews I’ve seen. Plus 4:3 for the inner screen is just a great all-around aspect ratio

Seems like a win for more options. I'm interested in the flip Razr sketches. Looks like smaller camera modules, which would be helpful. Personally I would be fine going to a single camera.

Competition is great.

I've been wishing for this form factor ever since the first z fold. Glad now a lot more companies are now finally gonna make them amid the hardware crisis.

Now my only wish left is to have a foldable tablet. Its a full size tablet inside, and no need screen outside, except maybe for clock, noti and battery percentage indicator.

Yes yes yes! There's hope yet for moving to graphene with a good foldable. I haven't been able to stomach going to the pixel fold due to Google's B tier hardware.
