Cute and useful

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Galaxy Z Fold 8 due to it's size rather than the ultra. Coming from a Fold 7, the 8 feels much better. The screen seems to have better colors, the underplate, that was upgraded, feels so much better and sturdier than the previous generation. The content on social media feels like im scrolling picture by picture as if going through reels; to me it feels smoother this way. This phone doesn't take much space and it's easier to carry around. It doesn't take the entire pocket of your pants as a regular phone would, and it beats the flip due to the bigger main screen and thinner size.
Most games are optimized and look better on the fold 8 than the 7. The longer screen of the 7 made the games feel stretch or would not take the entire screen on some cases. On the Fold 8 all games pretty much fill the screens. On the main screen, it's like it was meant to be that size, on front screen ilthey fit just fine and have enough screen to play them. There has been only 1 game so far that became unplayable due to not being optomized to the screen ratio of this new phone, but once that is fixed, it will be perfect.
Only down sides I found the fold 8 are obviously the lack of the extra camera for that nice zoom, which I honestly dont mind too much since I own a S26 too, and the loss of the mode where you could fold the main screen half-way and have of the screen act as a mouse. The phone does get a bit hot when playing videos and games for a while, specially on a hot day.

This phone is slick - great for reading!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so glad I chose to upgrade to this phone from my Z fold 6 - this is a step up in almost every way. The screen dimensions are great, you can change the aspect ratio of any app that doesnt work very well with the size so that it does work. It feels sturdy in my hands and makes reading books very natural - splits the text into left and right side just like a paper book.
My only complaint is that, due to the phone being much more squat and the camera lenses still taking up just as much room on the back, no magsafe wallets will ever fit on the phone - cards are taller than the available space on the back. So I was forced to buy a wallet-fold-type case that includes card slots in the front flap in order to continue with my usual method of no purse carrying. I feel like the lenses could have gone across the top of the back of the phone easily enough, leaving more than enough room for magsafe wallets. This is, I feel, the one major drawback of the phone, and many others on the internet seem to agree with me.

Perfection by Samsung
on August 7, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I never expected to be blown away especially that i am a Fold 7 user. I chose to switch to the Z Fold 8 and Honestly? the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 completely won me over. Before opening it, the outside screen finally feels like a normal, comfortable phone rather than a skinny remote control—typing texts with one hand is a breeze! But when you flip it open, that massive screen feels like magic for watching videos, reading articles, or juggling two apps at once without straining your eyes. Crease is clearly better even when you touch it. The phone is noticeably lighter and thinner than older foldables, so it doesn't drag down my pocket or feel clunky. The battery easily gets me through a full day, everything runs super fast, and it’s just genuinely fun to use every single time I open it.
I attached comparison pictures between the ZFold7 and the new ZFold8, to be honest this aspect ratio is incredible. I love it! Hopefully samsung will add a 3rd camera in the next version and every foldable will finally be 100% crease free.

Fold 8 is the perfect size.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the fold 8 because of the size. Aside from the fact that Samsung makes the best phones. I can multitask. Use a smaller screen for daily task and a bigger screen for my movies. This device is amazing.
