Galaxy Z Fold 8 get the same folding animation as iPhone Duo
21 days ago
- A developer recreated the iPhone Duo's folding-screen animation on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 using its hinge sensor, demonstrating the sensor's capability.
- The iPhone Duo's animation uses motion-sensor data, gradients, and timed transitions to create an illusion of the wallpaper dissolving through the screen.
- The Galaxy Z Fold 8 recreation is an app-based demo, not a system-wide feature, requiring Samsung to implement it natively.
- The animation effect is most convincing when viewed head-on and may lose its novelty quickly, potentially becoming annoying after a short time.
- The iPhone Duo is the only folding phone with this animation natively, with preorders starting October 16, 2026, and pricing from $1,999 in the US.
