Just got your Galaxy Z Fold 8? Here are the first 5 things you need to do
I love the Fold 8, but it's not perfect out of the box.
Upon purchasing the Galaxy Z Fold 8, a number of essential actions should be taken to maximize the device's potential. One such action is to familiarize oneself with the split-screen or multi-windowed mode, which enables the simultaneous use of two applications. This feature, reminiscent of the Microsoft Surface Duo, enhances productivity by allowing for side-by-side multitasking.
Another crucial step is to save frequently used app pairs and add them to the Edge Panel for swift access. This initial setup, although time-consuming, will save time in the long run. The Galaxy Z Fold 8's unique ability to rotate into portrait mode provides a versatile viewing experience, making it more comfortable than other foldables for certain apps.
Limiting some functionalities by default, it is recommended to explore the Labs section in settings to enable multi-window for all apps, improve landscape orientation for commonly used apps, and take advantage of the improved tent mode for video content. Lastly, setting the Galaxy Z Fold 8 to function independently from its cover screen can prevent frustrations associated with automatic screen mirroring.
With these adjustments, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 proves to be a versatile device offering a unique user experience.
