Galaxy Z Fold8

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have owned every previous version of the Z fold product line, and I have to say, this is the absolute best Z fold yet. The Z fold 8 is the perfect size both when folded and in open modes. The screens are huge and have gorgeous display abilities. On the regular, I choose to stream TV, movies and live sports... All of them look crystal clear... And the crease is gone! The Z fold 8 is also very fast and capable of handling multiple tasks in open windows all at once. I truly love this iteration and almost wish I could get another one just for the fun of it! Thank you Samsung, for getting right again!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Coming from the Pixel foldables, I'm enjoying the light weight, thinness and compactness of the Z Fold8. Unfortunately you do have to deal with the multiple versions of the same apps and Samsung's take on them. For example you need to use the Samsung clock app to use the sleep schedule as a condition for Routines, even if the Google clock app has the same sleep schedule. The friction between the two worlds is not the best for the end user, battling to turn off Samsung Wallet quick access gestures and settings up Google Wallet instead as another example. There's also lots of useful settings not enabled by default, and a tonne of non useful stuff which is battling for attention. The hardware however speaks for itself and it sparks genuine joy to use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While I didnt have a big issue with the narrow nature of the fold7, it wasn't fully ideal to use. Often times I did use the inner screen more. With the fold8, I find myself using both screens evenly. I love consuming social media through the inner screen. My main reason for getting it was the long tablet feel of using the inner screen in portrait form. And it has not disappointed at all. I did worry about apps not working given other reviews, but none of my apps have had any conflicts or issues. The software has definitely prepared to make sure most apps work properly with both screens. 10/10 would recommend. Ps: this would be amazing with a 6000 mAH battery.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the new Galaxy z fold 8 because it's perfect for streaming movies and tv series. Phone is amazing and so far I'm loving it and using it closed and open because it feels like a total different experience. Gaming on this beast is awesome.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose a Galaxy fold 8 because the form factor is a breath of fresh air. I love the fact that the shorter slightly wider aspect ratio fits videos nearly perfectly even when folded. As an engineer myself I appreciate efficiency and the ergonomics combined with the aspect ratio is the best of all worlds. Whether it's scrolling on social media or watching a video it feels right. I've been switching back and forth between my old s24 ultra and this phone and the s24 ultra now feels too long. Definitely not for everyone but the fact that Samsung gives you the option is greatly appreciated. I do not see myself going back to a long slab phone.

I am very happy with the form factor. I am coming from a Fold 6 which I found to be too narrow when folded. The added width makes it easier for me to type on the keyboard. The shorter height makes it easy to reach the top and bottom of the screen when folded. There is less wasted space when watching videos unfolded. I think my ideal phone would be this form factor with better cameras. I am noticing some third party apps not accommodating the screen resolution properly but assume things will improve over time. The battery so far seems good. It is lasting longer than my Fold 6 probably due to a combination of larger battery size and degradation in my old phone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am loving it so far! I love the size of both displays, and I really like the size of the device in general. The passport type shape is really appealing to me and its been a dream to consume content on. The device is very responsive and I havent had any kind of slowdowns at all, everything is instant and smooth. The battery life is really good too! I like the new si-c battery, it lasts ages and I havent had any issues with it at all- plus it keeps the device sleek and thin. The device itself feels very sturdy, it's well made and I have no concerns of it breaking. The hinge feels very snappy and premium and I havent had any issues with it at all.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I choose the Fold8 because I imagined it would be a comfortable device to hold in my hands for long periods of time, and an excellent outlet for media consumption.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose this Samsung Z Fold 8 because you have 2 devices in one, a phone and a tablet.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone has been great so far. Got it to watch football.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was originally going to get the Fold Ultra 8, but I chose the Fold 8 because I really wanted to try out the form factor, and I am 100% happy with my choice. The form factor is just perfect and has me using the phone open way more than I ever did with the Fold 7. The anti-glare inner display with the new form factor makes consuming content so much better, especially with how light the phone is. The battery is also great; I got 8 hours of screen-on time, and that was during heavy use. I do wish the outer display also had the anti-glare coating, but it's still great to use, and I can finally see my full wallpaper because of the form factor. I'm already recommending this phone to people.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a Samsung loyalist for over 15 years, I’ve used every generation of foldables from the original Z Flip to the 7th gen. I chose the Z Flip line in the first place because a small, compact size is a must for fitting into my small purses. ​This year, I chose to switch to the Z Fold 8, and it’s the best of both worlds! I absolutely love this new design! The new, lighter design still fits comfortably in my small bags, while the larger outer screen gives me significantly more productivity on the go. Combined with top-tier performance and a gorgeous inner display, Samsung has finally perfected the foldable form factor! I recommended to all my friends.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the Zfold 8. I chose the Z Fold 8 because my main use is content consumption, and the wide view is perfect for it. Couldn't be happier - great job on the product refresh.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was a huge fan of PDAs (personal digital assistants) in the early 2000s. I loved the function and the form factor. As time marched on and phones got taller, I didn't realize how much I missed it. As a proud former owner of the Z Fold 3 and the Z Fold 5, I was immediately attracted to the new Fold 8. I chose it because I wanted to have a fuller front screen and to be able to make better use of the phone when it was closed. I love how light it is, I love the exclusive pistachio color, and I love how darn cute it is. There are some minor trade offs. I wish the speakers were placed differently and the table wobble is off the charts. I also miss flex mode and I'm not sure why it was necessary to remove it, but I don't seem to miss the telephoto lens the way so many others have mentioned (I guess I don't use it much). The longer I use it the more I like it. Its fits in my pocket so nicely and I love to show it off. The phone is snappy and responsive and I'm impressed by how well the outer screen works with video content. As counter-intuitive as this sounds, I also like that I am opening the Fold 8 LESS than I did with my Fold 5, specifically because of the wider screen. I'm very happy with my purchase and I'm looking forward to many happy years with my new Fold 8.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After years and years of owning Samsung devices, I chose the Fold 8 specifically because of the form factor. I always missed this passport form factor and I knew that once you open this device it would be no compromises. I use my phone extensively for work and now find myself increasingly not even carrying a laptop with me. With the new Fold 8 this has become the reality. This is the one device to rule them all! I don't need a laptop to do meetings, I don't need a laptop to type long documents. I don't need a laptop to review documents. Just fold open this device and you have the perfect tablet for everything you need to do. I am shocked at how thin this device is folded up. It's even more impossibly thin once you unfold the device. Battery life is stellar and no one does screens as exceptionally as Samsung. This might very well become my favorite phone of all time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose this let go of my Ultra 23 because I have been wanting a fold forever. The flip felt too small and I have been an Ultra girl since the note series. This phone ferls great in my hand. It feels like a mini book or even like a compact mirror. The screen is responsive. Flips through pages quickly. The colors of my videos, pictures and movies look stunning. I think the sound is louder than my S23 Ultra. My daughter complained it was too loud but not for me, lol. It's a great little phone and I can't wait until I can customize it even more. It's beautiful and sleek. I love the fingerprint sensor on the side. It responds quickly to unlock.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had the Fold 6 and thought moving to the Fold 7 was an evolution change, but moving to the Fold 8, wow! The size is perfect, it fits into your hand and looks right. Then you open it up and it transforms, pictures, video and books just fit the this screen ratio. The hinge works better than the Fold 7, opening easier and snaps open. The crease I have forgotten about. I didn't notice it on the Fold 7, but the screen is so much better. I never thought the Fold 7 was a slouch but the 8 seems so much more smoother and responsive. One UI 9 has some great improvements and the integration with the AI makes tasks and work flow so much easier.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Straight of the box i thought what a cool phone. Easy to set up,had it next to my S24 and it picked my phone up instantly. The Display is fantastic and extremely clear. The Hinge in the fold is very strong but not to stiff and is easy to open. I have my Battery set to 80 percent but everyday use, it doesn't drop below 50 percent, which is miles better than my S24. This isn't a Flimsy phone, it's quite robust and feels very strong in your hand. Searching through apps, it's really quick and very responsive and you can have multiple pages and apps open at the same time. This is a great upgrade from my S24, glad I got one. You won't be disappointed 😉

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my phone for basically everything. I read, surf the internet and play games. My last phone was the s23 ultra for the display size and the CPU was pretty alright. But now I game waaaaay more on my phone when I'm not home and I read a lot more Manga and comics so I felt like I had to chose the fold 8. The compact size of the front is perfect for tiktok and I perfer reading fanfics and books on the front display. Inside is THE PERFECT SIZE FOR MANGA AND COMICS! It is the same size as the paperwhite 12th gen. Only downside is no pen and the inner camera should be more to the corner cause it does mess the menu in a few gacha games like HSR.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I previously had the Z flip 5, which I have had now for three years. I loved having a smaller phone, but I also used it for it's bending capability. I planned on getting the new Z flip 8 but when I saw this model I knew it was for me. It's smaller than average phones, and of course it unfolds to a much larger screen. I've missed having a phone that I could use without opening it. Today was the first full day of using it and I used the front screen to watch some videos and slightly opened the phone so it stood on its own. Absolutely loved it. I will now watch movies on the inside screen and i can't wait. This is such a smart move for Samsung!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Been a Samsung customer for years. ZFold 8 by far is my favorite phone of all time. Looking forward to enjoying this phone for the next couple years. Simply awesome design and form factor.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the z fold 8. I've been really enjoying the phone. But there are a few things that are breaking the experience for me. Pros: This is a beast of a phone. It's snappy, good graphics. Media consumption is good. There are some bugs that still need to be worked out, like zoom and Instagram. I wanted something similar to the size of the z flip without having a useless front screen. This really delivers on that. The wider, shorter size has been sooo nice. I don't understand how this hasn't been the norm all along. Cons: I am so massively bothered by the placement of the camera. It needs to be horizontal across the back, top, center of the phone. There is no reason for it to cascade down the back, right side. It makes the phone rock when I put it down. And it makes the magnet on the back (for a pop grip or wireless charging) off-center. I need to be able to put the phone down flat on its back. The magnet being off-center, to me, is such a massive design flaw.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While it took a brief adjustment period to get used to the shorter height, I chose this device because it delivers easily the best form factor available. It's wonderfully compact when folded, but unfolding it into a mini tablet completely changes the experience. Videos look fantastic on the inner display, and the anti-reflective screen coating makes a massive difference for visibility. The upgraded faster charging is a welcome quality-of-life improvement, and the cameras are completely sufficient for everyday photos. Most of all, it brought back that genuine sense of excitement for mobile technology that smartphones have lacked for a long time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been part of the Galaxy Z Fold family since the Fold 4. I have used the Fold 4, Fold 6, and now I’ve upgraded to the Z Fold 8 and I am genuinely amazed by the new form factor. The Z Fold 8 is incredibly slim and feels so much more comfortable to hold in the hand. The wider cover screen is also a major improvement, and it’s perfect for watching videos and everyday use without feeling cramped. I am really glad I chose the Z Fold 8. Samsung has once again impressed me with the Z Fold series. As always, the Z Fold never disappoints! Thank you, Samsung, for continuing to innovate and make the Fold series better with every generation

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the galaxy z fold 8 and I don't regret it one bit. The keyboard is nice and wide making it hard to type incorrectly. When opened the screen is amazing! Watching Netflix and YouTube on this is seriously impressive. When I want to play games I open it up and now I have a tablet, it really blew my expectations out of the water. I really like that the finger print reader is in the power button it makes more sense to have it there. This phone is way louder than my s26 was. The compact size of this phone when closed should be the new standard, it just feels more natural. I dont see myself ever going back to a candy bar shaped phone ever again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm really enjoying the new Z Fold 8! The new shape brings comfortability and compact together into one device! I'm happy I chose to wait on upgrading until this device came out! The experience I've had consuming media on this has been great, where short form videos are the focus on the main screen, and whole TV shows or movies are enjoyable on the large inner screen. One thing I miss between the Z Fold 8 and my old Z Flip 7... flex mode! It was so convenient to prop my phone open to watch something, read a recipe while cooking, etc. I didn't want a big phone like the Z Fold 8 Ultra, so I'm missing out on that key feature.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose this phone for the new design alone. After having the z fold 6 for 2 years I was itching to try this new design out! Watching movies and sports has been amazing on the new aspect on the inside screen. The cover screen also is a lot more enjoyable for watching my favorite shows or my team play. I also find myself gaming a lot more on the new size for the fold series. Even while closed it is easy to grip and play my favorite games. Multitasking on the inside screen is a huge plus for everyday task and also work. Huge upgrade whatever phone you have currently.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was debating upgrading from the fold 7. Ultimately I chose to upgrade to the Fold 8 because the aspect ratio and the new design is amazing. It is the ultimate daily driver. I use my phone alot to watch movies, YouTube videos, and for reading. Reading on this phone is so comfortable on both the inner and outer displays. I find that in using the inner display alot more than I did on my previous fold because the new dimensions make it feel so much better in my small hands Also, the phone is just beautiful. I love that videos take up the whole screen on the outer display and the brightness on this phone makes everything look sharper.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] ​I chose this device after much consideration, and I have been using it for a couple of days now with great satisfaction. The overall design, weight, in-hand feel, and ergonomics are fantastic. Both the cover display and the unfolded main screen look amazing and offer an incredible viewing experience. ​If I had to point out a few minor drawbacks, the placement of the heat dissipation feels a bit noticeable during heavy use, and I occasionally experience slight stuttering on a few specific apps. However, these are minor details compared to how good the rest of the phone is. Overall, it is an outstanding device and I highly recommend it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After getting my wife a Fold 7, I've been totally amazed by these foldable phones. You get the best of both worlds – a regular phone on the outside and a tablet inside! When my S23 started slowing down and the battery was dying fast, I knew it was time for a Fold. I knew the Fold 8 was coming out, so I waited and watched prices for both the new one and the Fold 7. After snagging a sweet deal on the Fold 8, it was a no-brainer. This phone is everything I hoped for and more. It's super fast, holds a charge forever, and the inner display crease is barely there – you actually forget you have a tablet that folds in half! Seriously great, no regrets.

Loving the experience of the Z Fold 8 so far. Why didn't this form factor exist sooner?!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ive been using a different device religiously but I just experienced the galaxy z fold 8 and the durability and the look of it is so cool. I might ask my dad to get it for my birthday;)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a Z fold 6 for 2 years and very happy with the durability however the weight of 239 grams is still on the heavy side and the almost square aspect ratio of the inner screen is not made for media consumption. The best feature is the under camera display which give the z fold 6 an immersion experience. I chose to upgrade to Z fold 8 due to its new aspect ratio format bothe the outer and inner display. It does not have the udc inside camera but I am willing to trade the feature for a more thinner and a lot lighter z fold 8. Also the almost invisible inner screen crease have me sold. Thank you Samsung for making such a fine polished product. Happy to recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Z fold 8 has been an amazing product so far. I'm glad I chose this phone because it makes reading articles or recipes and streaming TV or videos so much more convenient. It's almost been a week that I've had the device and I'm still learning about cool new features. I previously had a Z flip 7 and I am so happy with the dimensions of the fold 8. I wish they made an "ultra" version in this size. The only reason I didn't get the fold 8 ultra is because of the size and a pretty big downfall of the fold 8 is that there is no flex mode. I'm adjusting to not having that and I'm still loving my new phone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] the perfect phone. I have had every model year of the Z Flip and several of the Z Fold. The Z Fold 8 is the perfect marriage of the two, and I chose it to replace my everyday use of the Flip. Within the first day, it became clear I wasn't going back to the Flip, which surprised me. I rarely used the cover screen on the Flip, although I had all the tools to do so. With the Fold 8, I use the front screen a lot and don't feel the need to open it every time I use it. And critical factor is that it fits in my pocket, which was a downfall with the previous Folds - too cumbersome for carrying. All in all, it's pretty perfect and I'm glad I chose it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Galaxy Z Fold8 because I wanted a phone that could handle everyday tasks while also giving me more screen space when I need it. I use it throughout the day for messaging, browsing, watching videos, managing emails, and staying organized. The larger unfolded display makes multitasking much more comfortable, especially when I want to use two apps without constantly switching between them. When folded, it still works well for quickly checking notifications and handling regular phone tasks. The Fold8 has made my daily routine more convenient and enjoyable, and it feels like having both a phone and a small tablet in one device.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the size as I preform small phones, but then you open and get a big screen, best of both worlds

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have never experienced the pleasure of using any other brand of foldable, but this change in design fits my needs perfectly. I chose to upgrade.from the Z Fold 7, simply because of this form factor. This is both my work phone and daily driver. It has gotten me through an entire work day of HEAVY usage just fine. A 7AM-6PM leaves me with about 40% battery. This is HUGE improvement over my Z Fold 7. Do I wish the screen was taller? Maybe a little bit. Magsafe wallet hangs off the back about an inch. So much so, that I am not comfortable and no longer use it. I love the way this design fits in my hands, both folded and unfolded. Rotating the phone gives a different implementation of the software. For example, Google Messages is often glitchy. The messages get bunched together and a brief rotation sets things right again. I'm hopeful that developers fix a lot of these type of quirks Overall, it's a homerun for Samsung and to those of you reading this, if you are considering a switch, I would say that you won't be disappointed. I really like it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is great to experience the real demonstration. I am so happy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] so hi tech for me really like the screen display and size

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Samsung never dissapoints ,i nived to samsung when the first flip came and now this loving it!!!! I charged it over night and by the end of the day it was 60 percent absolutely chuffed. Flawless display and responsive ,and im blown away by the simplicity of data transference. Since the first flip samsung has really progressed with the hinge movement . You cnt the see middle hinge on the display ,the protective screen use to come after a year but with last flip it did not happen .Durability has come a long away. No chipping, bending scratches. I am the biggest fan now as samsung has proven themselves in every aspect ."Always One step ahead in the Game ".

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose to trade in my SGZFold7 from last year for this years SGZFold8. I chose the Fold8 because of the smaller form factor. All of my Folds previously (2, 5,6 & 7) folded "hotdog style" and this year's "hamburger style" is a refreshing take on a foldable. This is the best folding phone I've had and any "downsides" to this phone is just looking for something to complain about. Speaker placement on the left panel when unfolded How small it is Not having a telephoto camera Battery / screen smaller than 8Ultra Less multitasking I use a headset that's connected to my personal & work phone. Audio is routed through headset I love how compact it is Don't notice the missing camera Battery life is on par with the 8Ultra I can have 3 apps opened side-by-side-by-side

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 because I wanted a phone with a larger screen that could still fit in my pocket. I use the cover screen for quick messages, calls, and checking notifications. When I open the phone, the larger display is very useful for watching videos, gaming, studying, and doing schoolwork. I also like using multiple apps at the same time, especially when I need to take notes while reading something online. The phone feels fast, the screen looks clear, and the folding design makes everyday tasks more convenient. It took me a little time to get used to all the features, but my overall experience has been very good.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like it. It's good for my hand.. I always drop things and this phone I can handle it well. Good for people with weak grip like me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new Fold 8 (wide) is a great new phone in regards to the external screen and internal folding screen. My only negative thought is no 200 megapixel main sensor and no telephoto lens, very disappointing on such a high end phone with such a high cost. As you will learn due to the Fold 8's high volume of sales, many people like larger phones but not necessarily folding ones. I suggest Samsung consider making a larger nonfolding phone, similar to the width of the Fold 8's external screen but also taller. Bring back the old Samsung Mega branding or call it the Samsung Titan. Again, their is a large market for larger phones especially in this day and age.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off I chose this phone to replace a Fold 5. I do like this form factor. I mainly use this for day to day browsing, media, and light gaming. For me it was a good upgrade from the 5. But there are some deficiencies. The speakers are a glaring issue for me, they sound significantly worse than the 5. It is really thin and too lightweight. Without a good case that adds weight and grip it is difficult to hold on to. It does have a very snappy processor and apps respond well. Video on the inner display is were this phone shines. Crease is barely noticeable. I would recommend this phone for both new to foldables and returning users.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose this and the Razr fold to try. Both have their amazing benefits and bring what most users wanted to the market. I ended up returning the Razr for software alone. One UI is incredible and the Z Fold 8 is like having 3 devices in one. I rarely take photos but it's strange Samsung purposely set up a gen 2 with upgraded cameras. Keep us loyal at the onset! This device is amazingly light, strong, last long, has amazing screens, so easy and fun to use. Finally a phone is fun again! I got so sick and bored of the slabs and remote style. This for. Factor is perfect! Love it. So glad I chose to try this out, keeping it until gen 2.

Great form factor, coming from s25+ it was a little bit of an adjsutment, but I do not miss the old phone

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great phone, display is fantastic. Hinge is great. Fits in pocket so much better

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the design of the phone. Suits my needs for work and multi functional

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wish I'd gone for z8 ultra it is too small for me sound and pictures are ok
