Still undecided about Fold 8 or Ultra

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used and loved Samsung folds since they began. I chose to go with the Fold 8 despite some hesitancy about the new, smaller form factor, given that my work benefits from lots of real estate.
So far though I love it. While the Fold 8 inner screen is noticeably smaller than my former Fold 7 screen, I'm using the Fold 8's inner screen lots more because the Fold 8's weight, balance, and smooth edges make it so much easier to hold. I also love that I can readily optimize for either vertical or horizontal media. Turning my Fold 7 ninety degrees didn't help much at all because of its squarish format.
I have always loved Samsung displays and the Fold 8 lives up to the standard. Rich colors, sharp details in nearly any light. And I love the Fold 8's buttery smooth ooperations. Due to the larger battery, more efficient processor, and perhaps the somewhat smaller screen, my Fold 8 easily makes it through the day, unlike my Fold 7. I do miss the optical zoom and hope it returns soon; 10x digital zoom is pretty fuzzy. Otherwise my pictures are excellent.
Thus, so far I am mostly thrilled with the Fold 8. So much so that I enjoy using it for its own sake, not just to get things done. It's fun!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After using this phone for a week. I am no longer scared Simply Amazing. I thought the wide small factor was going to be to different. But turns out I like it a little better than the new ultra version. The gaming and movie watching is amazing. Look forward to diving in it more.. Great job Samsung.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose this Samsung Galaxy fold 8 because I wanted something that could make my everyday routine easier while keeping up with everything I do. I’ve been impressed by how smoothly it handles my daily tasks, from staying connected and checking notifications to enjoying entertainment and keeping organized. The features are easy to use, and I’m still discovering new ways to get more out of the device. Overall, I’m really happy with my choice and look forward to using it even more.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's everything I wanted. Coming from the S Ultra line the Z Fold 8 has surpassed my expectations. To be as think as a S Ultra when folded and as thin as it is when it is unfolded is mind blowing. No lost of speed or major functionality either has been a big relief too. It doesn't have an s-pen like the ultra, but in my opinion it makes up for that by transforming from a standard phone to a tablet.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Fold and couldn't be happier. I am a longtime Samsung Note and Z Fold user, dating back to 2011, when I was stationed in England. The Fold 8 is the perfect size and form factor and has been my daily driver after using my Fold 7 for the past 12 months. Battery life has been nothing short of excellent. Screen clarity has been superb, and the phone's pocket-friendly size has made this a great purchase. Samsung has built a beautiful masterpiece!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really enjoying the new wider but shorter form factor. While I enjoyed the prior Fold 7, sometimes it was just too narrow for good use and text readability due to less space. The wide but short Fold 8 is the answer to the problem. Playing videos and using social media is a new great experience.
