[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose this phone because it has large screen that allows me to do anything I want without the extra size and bulk when folded. I can keep this in my pocket and it is lighter.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having previously owned the Fold 3 and Fold 7, I chose the Fold 8 256 in Graphite to try the new "wide" form factor. In just 24 hours it has exceeded all expectations. The cover screen in the passport size handles all forms of tasks and media flawlessly.
Web browsing and texting are effortless. Reddit and YouTube are just as satisfying on the cover screen, but having the option to unfold makes the experience even more immersing. The passport size is also great for traditional phone tasks and phone calls.
The wider format of the inner screen is the star of the show. In landscape mode multi-tasking is even better than on the Fold 7. Split app view is even better and more productive with more horizontal space. If need be, you can still switch to portrait mode which is my preferred orientation for web browsing. Of course full screen videos look the best in landscape.
Battery life and charging speeds are also an improvement over the Fold 7. I'm not a power user by any means, but so far I'm left with about 70% battery by the end of the work day and 45-50% battery by bed time. By comparison my Fold 7 was about 55-60% by the end of the work day and 35-45% by bed time with the same usage.
The cameras on the Fold 8 are unremarkable, neither good or bad. They get the job done (cat and toddler pics) but are nothing to write home about. Speakers are also unremarkable and I don't notice much of a difference from the Fold 7.
Overall, I can see why this phone and form factor are a hit
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I pre-ordered the phone smooth process very happy when I received 2 day earlier than promised. This is not my first z fold I have had many years experience with this line. I love the new configuration very easy to use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Z Fold 8, expecting it to bring more ease and flow into the way I move through my day. The moment it opens, it gives me this quiet sense of possibility, like I’m stepping into a bigger, more creative version of my day. The new shape feels confident and refined, and the whole experience stays fast, fluid, and empowering.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the z fold 8 because as a guy I missed having a phone that can easily fit in my front or jacket pocket and still has the size and capability multi-task for business. The z fold 8 fits the bill.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so happy that I chose the Z Fold 8! It is amazing. The new form factor is a game changer. I can't get enough of it and look forward to pairing it with my all new Galaxy Watch Ultra 2!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Today I picked up my new Samsung fold 8! Transferring all the data went smoothly. I only had a little bit of trouble once, but got it resolved quickly. So yes, I CHOSE Samsung every time!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose to upgrade to the new Fold 8 instead of the 8 ultra and I couldn't be happier. The smaller closed size is so much more convenient and the inner screen is perfect for media consumption. It's amazing the video playback size is the same size or bigger than the old fold 7 or the new fold 8 ultra. I couldn't be happier with the screen quality, the size and the fact you can barely see the crease anymore.
