A behind-the-scenes look at the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8's design process. We explore the different prototypes and aspect ratios they tested, including one that might have been better for media consumption. Did Samsung make the right call?
Transcript
00:00I just got to see how Samsung designed the Galaxy Z Fold 8 as well as all of the different
00:05sizes
00:06that they tested and I think they might have picked the wrong one. So in speaking to the
00:10design team they told me about all of the mantras that they follow including something called
00:14emotive geometry. Basically keeping everything in line and sensical while also adding those tiny
00:20details like shaving off the corners a little bit so that it doesn't dig into your hand. And as they
00:25said themselves the form factor that they picked is a passport shaped one. But there's more because
00:31to get to that passport size they tried many other different sizes to get to what they call
00:36the golden ratio. Now obviously whether you think this ratio of a 4x3 display on the inside and a 10x16
00:43on the outside is the right thing that's entirely up to you. But they showed me all the other different
00:49sizes that they tried including this mahousive one all the way down to what basically looks like
00:56a Galaxy Z Flip but just turned on its side. Open it up and you have a 16x9 display inside.
01:02Now when
01:03I think about content consumption it's that aspect ratio that makes more sense to me. Obviously this
01:09is just one man's opinion. What do you think? Go ahead and let me know in the comments.
