Galaxy Z Fold 8 Exposes 3-App Multitasking Gap on Foldables as Scaling Bugs Persist

Summary
Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Fold 8 Ultra impressed on hardware, but testing found unfolding still breaks many apps with black bars, stretched layouts or restarts.
3-app multitasking remains a foldable strength, yet third-party software often fails to adapt dynamically between the cover screen, inner display and landscape mode.
Google’s own apps such as Gmail and YouTube resize cleanly, underscoring that the bigger weakness lies in Android app ecosystem support rather than Samsung hardware alone.
Apple’s rumored foldable iPhone Ultra could gain an edge if it delivers iPad-style adaptive layouts and seamless screen transitions instead of chasing only a less visible crease.
