TL;DR
- Samsung’s latest Fold devices apparently save each screen’s rotation lock.
- This means you can use a different orientation for each display without manually setting them each time.
- We hope the feature comes to older Folds as part of the One UI 9 update.
Samsung’s new foldable phones are finally here, and they bring a few notable software features as well. However, it looks like one handy software addition may have slipped under the radar until now.
Redditor ultima40 reports that the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Fold 8 Ultra‘s rotation lock functionality is now saved for each screen (check out their video below). That means you can switch between the two displays, and the phone will remember the orientation/rotation lock for each one. So if you’ve got a Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and like to use the inner screen in landscape orientation, you can set this rotation lock accordingly, and it’ll stay in landscape mode whenever you unfold your phone.
