Just too small

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the new form factor however I do wish it was slightly taller and wider. The inner screen aspect ratio is fantastic but the outer screen feels a bit too short. I understand the outer screen need to be shorter and fatter to accommodate the inner screen form factor but just maybe just a bit off. This is the right form factor just needs a few tweaks.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the new Z fold 8 mainly for the form factor. I loved my fold 6 but this new size is incredibly pocketable and much easier to use the phone when not unfolded for every day use. It's unbelievable.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Z Fold 8 because I am a big fan of the Fold series. However, the phone always seemed really long. So when this version was created, I was super excited because I am a media consumer, and the aspect ratio that you get when you open the phone is truly amazing. I find myself operating on the phone with it closed mostly, and then I'm able to open it for entertainment, which is perfect. It's very lightweight, and I love the faster charging. The only gripe that I have is that the icons rotate and rearrange when you have the phone open and you switch to vertical mode. But other than that, the phone is great.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Compact outside, massive inside. I chose upgrade for its utility. front screen on the Z Fold feels a bit too narrow and cramped for typing or quickly browsing. However, as soon as you unfold it, the experience completely transforms. The large main display gives you a huge, vibrant canvas that makes multitasking, watching media, and productivity an absolute joy. If you can get past the smaller outer screen, the unfolded experience is outstanding.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the z fold 8 because it was a refreshing new take on form factor that we haven't seen in US manufacturers in years. I love the fact that the external screen gives the the smaller form factor I enjoy but pairs it with a great use of folding screen tech to unveil a larger than normal screen inside. It gives me the joy of a small phone, the utility of a larger phone and reduces the downsides of both.
I'm already loving getting deeper into the software to customize things exactly how I like and for the first time I'm excited to see what might be in the future.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Samsung Galaxy Z fold 8 due to its size and its capabilities. This phone is amazing. I use it for work, video streaming, and all my social media experiences. This phone is small and it fits in my pocket very well. I've owned many of the fold (2,4,5,and 7) phones in the past and this one is my favorite. Outstanding Samsung.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Fold 8 over the Ultra for one specific reason. The wider front screen. I cannot tell you how much I love this phone. Legit is the size of a passport folded. I dont feel like I have to open to the main screen to use it. No more tall skinny front screen. The front screen is perfect and easy to use and the scaling/ratio of videos or apps is perfect. Samsung has really improved the crease hinge in the screen as it is practically nonexistent in this Fold 8. Both screens are crisp and bright. Cameras are great too. Really surprised at how thin the phone is this year. Overall an excellent improvement over the previous galaxy Fold phones. Excellent screen rotation for whatever app you are viewing. Wether you're watching youtube or tiktok. I do like the AI features they give you and this Fold 8 pairs great with the Ultra 2. Maybe just a tad disappointed in the speakers but still good sound. Honestly the only complaint I have is the camera lens tilt when you set your phone down. Overall I believe Samsung launched a solid Fold 8 this year and can't to see what the future has in store. Glad I chose this Fold over the other. NO TALL SKINNY SCREEN!!
