The Galaxy Z Fold 8 series just gained a useful screen trick I hope Google copies

Credit: Paul Jones / Android Authority 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.
