Apple’s iPhone Duo fold animation is already becoming a target for Android recreations. Ice Universe says he built an app that mimics the effect on the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra in three hours using GPT-6 Astra. The post offers no code, prompts, or project history, so the reported development time and the extent of the AI model’s contribution cannot be independently verified.
A visual simulation, not a foldable feature
The Galaxy S26 Ultra does not have a hinge or a second display, which makes this fundamentally different from a foldable-phone implementation. The app is not integrated into Samsung’s One UI and does not reproduce the hardware behavior of the iPhone Duo; it simply presents a visual approximation of the animation on a conventional phone.
A previous recreation on the Galaxy Z Fold8 was a more natural fit because that device has foldable hardware, including a hinge-angle sensor that could be used to approximate the effect. Moving the idea to the Galaxy S26 Ultra turns it into a software demo rather than an interaction tied to a device’s physical form factor.
For mobile-device enthusiasts, the experiment is a reminder that a shareable interface moment can spread beyond the hardware that inspired it. There is no indication that this animation is headed to One UI or will be released as an app, but the demonstration shows how quickly AI-assisted development can turn a viral UI detail into a cross-device visual gimmick.
