Why it worked

The video highlights a practical and visually interesting "hack" for a popular foldable phone, demonstrating a unique use case enabled by its hardware design (the hinge acting as a kickstand). This provides value to viewers interested in maximizing their device's functionality.

Summary

The creator demonstrates a "life hack" for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, showing how its outer display and new hinge can be used as a built-in kickstand for watching videos at various angles. This is presented as a more convenient way to view content compared to the Z Fold 8 Ultra's aspect ratio.

Product placement

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 (ACTS): A foldable smartphone whose outer display can be propped up using its hinge to act as a kickstand for watching videos. Removing it would change what happens in the video. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra (APPEARS): A foldable smartphone mentioned for comparison. Removing it would not change what happens in the video.

Original caption

Galaxy Z Fold 8 life hack: the cover screen might be the best way to watch videos on this phone. Its wider 16:10 aspect ratio fits video way better than the Z Fold 8 Ultra’s narrow 21:9 cover display, but the real trick is the new hinge — half-fold the phone and it props itself up like a built-in kickstand, at basically any angle you want. No stand, no case, just the hinge.
