Developer recreates iPhone Duo animation on Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8

techradar.com

A developer has recreated the iPhone Duo's screen transition animation on a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, using the device's hinge sensor to drive the effect, though it remains only a demo. The Reddit user built an app that screenshots the display and simulates the open/close animation, making the moving half appear semi-transparent. It is not a system-level feature, and only Samsung could implement it across all apps. Reactions to the hack are positive, but the creator warns the effect gets annoying quickly and only looks convincing from head-on. The iPhone Duo itself starts at $1,999, with pre-orders opening October 16.
