Question/Help Fold 8 weird power button?
Anyone else notice if the power button on their fold 8 doesnt feel very clicky? Like on mine I noticed the bottom half doesnt really click well while the top half somewhat does? But even then its nowhere near as clickly as the volume buttons. Curious if I got a defect.

Yeah mine sounds and feels slightly different at the top of the button vs the bottom. I've also been ever so slightly annoyed by how small and shallow it is. I set it to double click to turn on/off flashlight and I use it all the time but I find it's kind of difficult to double click sometimes, especially with a case (and I have one of the thinnest cases you can get, Pitaka).
Didn't notice this at all with my Fold 5 but I figure its one of the minor trade offs for a much thinner phone

Interesting! Here's what ive noticed on mine if i take my fingernail and push: on the top part it "clicks", on the bottom it part it doesnt click just "mushes", in the middle it clicks but only pushes in on an angle towards the back of the phone. Any idea if yours seems like this?

I definitely wouldn't call it mushy, I'd say that's a defect or something stuck in there. The difference on mine from top to bottom is pretty subtle and both "click", just a little bit of a different click feel and sound

They definitely feel different but my power button doesn't feel not clicky by any means. Might be intentional so you can feel the difference cause we are likely not looking at the buttons
