According to tipster Ice Universe, Samsung has disabled Odin, a proprietary firmware flashing tool typically used to install stock firmware, install custom ROMs, and restore devices. It also appears that Samsung has removed “Download Mode,” which acts as a gateway for Odin. This change appears to have been made in the latest One UI 8.5 firmware and currently affects the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and recently launched Galaxy S26 series.

    Who knows, in a year or 2, when tech has moved forward, they FP may release a camera module with better specs. Because of the phone’s modular assembly, that camera could be swapped. I think this is a beutiful concept.

      Sounds like FP bringing 2 year old tech to a current gen phone.
      Sorry but that doesnt cut it.
      If it’s a monetary issue, release a specced up model. Then we may talk.
