You mean for like comments? Or just that the videos are too enlarged? Can't say I ever use it for stories I must admit
Both. It's not formatted for it at all. I use them daily, both personally and business. So it's pretty imperative it works for me.
I don't like it full screen really. It cuts too much off.
I'm saying it!! Haha. And it isn't a huge issue for some... A lot of people will not be bothered but there will be a chunk of people who are.
Like I say it's fine if you use the app in the resolution the phone sets it to automatically. But if you force it full screen that's when issues arise. For me anyway.
Maybe because alot don't use it? Stories have never been great on android anyway though. Same with Snapchat
I mean Stories are a huge part of Instagram for many. If it cuts them off it’s an enormous flaw and something I would not accept personally.
First impressions!
Let me start with saying, I apologize to those I dismissed in regards to 120hz displays. It’s extremely noticeable coming from the Galaxy Note10+, so I’ll like to get that out the way from the jump. When first picking the Fold up, I was surprised with how heavy it was... you can tell its a premium device, just by the build quality and the heft to it.
I’m absolutely enjoying the bigger screen... it’s a beaut! Browsing on the web... looking at videos, looking at various content. I have to give Samsung credit... when it comes to displays, they are the best! I haven’t really taken any photos to get a feel for the camera, but for the little photos I took... I didn’t have any problems with it. However, the viewfinder is welcoming.
I’m still in the process of adding apps and setting it up to my liking. Whenever I get a new device... I prefer to set it up as new and go from there. Only issue I might come across is the lack of the S-Pen. I grew quite fond of it on the Note. But this is just my initial thoughts...
Glad it's off to a good start

I have the note ultra and must say I love it but the fold 2 is just awesome and feels a need for a phone and tablet for me.. I do like my s pen though and the zoom. Once fold gets that it's over really I won't see much reason to get the S series phone as long as the the cameras are the same on the fold as the S series
Are you keeping both?
Although the Fold2 is a bigger display... but unfortunately it doesn't fill the void of my iPad. Thats one device I'll never rid myself of. And I like the idea of being in both worlds.. iOS/iPadOS and Android.
I want to but not sure it's practical to have both but will see...
It won't replace my 12.9 ipad Pro but can be my on the go device and also at home when I don't want my ipad or tab s7 plus. As fold gets even better I see even more reasons not to need a normal phone.. Does sound like Samsung seem the fold as their main flagship going forward
I've been using the folding display way more than I thought I would. Before purchase, I thought I would just use it leisurely. And this has nothing to do with the narrowness of the cover display.
Dbrand is in the building
Nice! I’m more interested in protecting the edges of the Fold. I’m looking for bumper cases.
Yeah good idea
obviously this won't be good for drop and side protection but confident when I don't want a case it's not a slippery mess or fingerprints magnet..Yeah good ideaobviously this won't be good for drop and side protection but confident when I don't want a case it's not a slippery mess or fingerprints magnet..
There's one thing about Apple that Samsung hasn't fully embraced. The ability to give customers an assortment of options for cases. Perhaps, this Fold is niche... that it hasn't attracted much attention for 3rd party cases. But finding a case is going to be troublesome.
