[@LzysGraphics]

Totally agree, although I think they still have some things they could easily improve and isn't so polished. B-roll in particular. They seem to try to get really extravagant shots but they end up falling short most of the time either due to the effect being really lackluster or just a genuinely bad shot where you can't make out the subject like the Z Fold in this case

I actually like sponsors. They pay my content creator directly, they aren't intrusive, they are bound by my content creator on how THEY want to go about advertising them. I on the other hand HATE ads. The content creators aren't always paid, the pay is shit, they have little to no control over them, and it wastes a TON of people's time. This is why I respect Linus and how he goes about his sponsors, as well as why he is keen on allowing sponsors. I remember he got a lot of hate for RAID shadow legends sponsor (Linus seriously, it's downright gambling for children.) and you know what he did? He NEVER sponsored them again. Because he has that control. I also noticed he avoids FTP games on phones after the RAID scandal. He does still promote FTP games on PC but that's different, PC gamers have more of an option on what games they want to play and have many honest gaming options. Fortnite, Apex, Modernwarfare, and much more have completely free, no gameplay enhancers to buy, just cosmetics. Phones DO NOT have this, it's riddled with FTP games, and few and far in between games are actually paid and good like Stardew or Minecraft. Yes, phones do have like... 2 completely free, buy cosmetics only games. So ya, sponsors ftw!

[@mybigboiphilip6997]

i just like sponsor block. ads regardless of what they are, are designed to be deceptive. lots of kids use youtube and cant even distinguish ads/sponsorships as separate from the content. also if I wanted the said product, I would seek it out. the more I see an ad over and over again, the less i want to buy the product. discovery by choice is far more useful.

[@mitchr9930]

Hi Linus - Long time Android Dev here. The fault for the issue with the black bars falls entirely on the app owner/developers. It a lack of support from these particular apps. Fordable devices make up such a small part of the market that many apps haven't bothered to test or adapt. Also, if you're receiving notifications for most apps but not a few particular apps, it's almost certainly a problem with those few apps. If you are familiar with FCM and the former GCM architecture, you know that something pretty weird would need to happen for this to be a device issue and that there are many points of failure within each individual app that make an app-specific issue much more likely. I suggest reinstalling those apps and if you see no improvement, install them on another android device. I'd be willing to bet that you will then see the issue on other android devices as well (assuming same OS version). I doubt you will see this message, but thought I should share. It seemed like these were significant points for the negative column, and while a lack of support by apps is certainly a valid concern, you can't really blame the trailblazer.

[@TheZALGOisCOMING]

"Fordable devices make up such a small part of the market that many apps haven't bothered to test or adapt." the sad part is that they don't even have to do that. foldables do not require any specific testing for basic functionality. if your app supports variable screen ratios and splitscreen, as every app developed in the last decade should, it already has everything it needs to display properly on every configuration of ANY foldable android on the market the reason instagram looks like shit is because instagram is shit. it does the same thing on non-folding phones that don't match the specific aspect ratios its incompetent devs expect

[@sarahsevee]

Regarding the Teams Notifications, they work perfectly fine on my Z Fold2, even better than on my previous Note9, where calls would often get stuck in limbo. Maybe check if the notification is set to only appear, when no desktop Teams session is active.

[@ladislavzima8382]

There's not even enough of foldable phones for every Android developer. Also windowed mode or split screen is also not common (how many phones support Android Desktop Mode so you can try resizing your app to any size and aspect ratio?). And for the notifications, this is a common problem in the Android world: dontkillmyapp.com/

[@kenmasters916]

Lets not lose the focus on the fact that all these top tier tech youtubers are all claiming the same things, and that is foldables are over priced trash for now for many real world reasons.

Good Lock fixes any issue you have with apps not acting in a manner you want them to. People always mention Instagram not working well on Android devices, when it truth it only works well on iPhone. Even on iPad it does exactly what it does here, except there is no Good Lock to override how a app works.

Because he, like many other people, would rather (and expect) this stuff to just work right out of the box. People don't buy a phone, especially as expensive as this one, because they want to have to install a bunch of things out of the box just to get it to work correctly.

[@kenmasters916]

@@cim888 Purchased too soon, bought it expecting more and gotten less. I should have waited for more reviews and traded it back when I had the chance. Live and learn. Bottom line is this device is subpar as a phone and my iPad pro destroys it as a tablet. I will never make the same mistake again. I now understand exactly what to expect and what the capabilities of a foldable phone are and how it can be used for real world applications. I should have gotten a note ultra or maybe even an iPhone 12 pro this round and maybe consider generation 4 or 5 for the fold when possibly it becomes competitive outside of the foldable category but as of now it is not. Not even close. Other than that in general its a nice foldable phone, maybe the best in that category. Just not the best at anything else yet. I call it trash because for the price I pay i expect the best of everything, not just ok at some.. makes me feel a bit disappointed

[@makasete30]

Not only that, but you can swype with the pencil for quick notes that is more convenient then grabbing and opening the laptop. Even using the typing keyboard on iOS is fine. I used it to type this. Not as nice, but not near impossible as Linus said, and it would have been more inconvenient to grab the laptop when the iPad is easy to grab and quickly type with.
