We've Tried The IPhone Duo - Is It Better Than The Galaxy Z Fold 8

Here it is. Apple's new iPhone Duo. Not the old fold, not the old iPhone Duo. This is the incredible device. And honestly, this is pretty mind-blowing. You have a 5.4-inch display on the outside, 7.6-inch display on the inside. Largest display ever on an iPhone. I don't know if you can notice this, but Apple's done some pretty wild stuff here. There's no discernible crease. Why? Because they went with a nanotexture on the display, so there's basically no reflection. That's really something new. Inside is the A20 Pro chip. It's going to be fast. It's going to be all ready for Siri AI. There are cameras on the outside. Now, the two cameras are 48-megapixel main and a 2x optical zoom camera. So that means that you're going to get the zoom that you were hoping for. It's not 4x zoom. you have a camera on the outside that's a center stage camera on the outside and you have a hidden FaceTime camera on the inside so you can't see it this device is powerful it's powerful enough for games i was playing like 3d games basically console level games it's starting at 1999 for 256 gigabytes of storage this is really the most expensive iphone ever oh by the way yes it is the thinnest iPhone ever. You can see it right here. Thin, flat. Apple has officially entered the folding space. This is a shot across the bow for Samsung, which has been doing it for a really long time. It's an exciting phone. It's an expensive phone. Honestly, I'm kind of excited by what I'm seeing here. But how does it compare to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8? Well, these are two passport-shaped phones that fold out into 7.6-inch tablets, and they both cost close to two thousand dollars but there are some key differences you should be aware of. At 5.4 inches the iPhone Duo's cover display is a touch smaller than the Z Fold 8's 5.5 inch cover display and Apple's phone has asymmetrical bezels where the Galaxy is straight edged all the way around. Both displays on the Duo have a 1.4 to 1 aspect ratio while the Z Fold 8 has a 10 by 16 ratio on its cover screen and a 4 by 3 ratio on its inner screen. The Duo is also over 50 grams heavier than the Z Fold 8 and it's also slightly thicker when both folded and unfolded but Apple's titanium phone gets a superior IP68 durability rating to the aluminium Galaxy's IP48 rating. Both phones have foldable specific software with the Z Fold 8 offering deep multitasking features and the Duo featuring a really unique folding animation and support for the Apple Pencil. Then finally on cameras, both the Duo and Z Fold 8 get two rear lenses, a 48 megapixel wide and ultra wide for the iPhone and a 50 megapixel wide and ultra wide for the Samsung. Neither phone gets a telephoto camera which is a pretty big trade-off if you're if you're spending close to $2,000. iPhone Duo in the middle of Apple Park where Apple has just announced a whole bunch of other stuff including new Apple Watches, new iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max.
