Great phone with a few missed opportunities
on August 10, 2026
Posted by: alpha1pak
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy Z Fold 8 is a great phone overall. The design feels premium, the displays are excellent, and I really enjoy having the larger inner screen for multitasking, browsing, watching videos, and getting work done.
Performance has been excellent so far, and the Fold form factor makes it much more useful than a traditional phone in many situations.
My biggest complaints are the lack of S Pen support and the camera system. For a flagship phone at this price, I would really like to see a better telephoto camera with stronger optical zoom. Samsung has plenty of experience with great zoom cameras on the Ultra series, and I think the Fold deserves similar camera hardware.
Besides those two things, I’m very happy with the Z Fold 8. It’s a great device and one of the most versatile phones I’ve used.

A Long Time in the Making...
on August 10, 2026
Posted by: Thanassi44
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been waiting for a phone with these proportions for what seems like 15 years. I won't even get into how useful this phone is when unfolded, but for everyday tasks the "passport" ratio is golden. The phone is not top heavy when balanced on one hand like even the entry-level "small" smartphones of today. The Z Fold 8 is a refreshing revelation found in a parted sea of boring and soulless monoliths.
I am a professional photographer and I am very much OK with sacrificing a mediocre 10mp, tiny optics telephoto lens for the existence of this phone. If I really want serious telephoto photography, I will carry my serious gear. But for everyday use, 2-3x digital zoom is more than adequate. Pictures are crisp, processing is tasteful and shutter response is fast, especially with some tweaks from camera assistant.
The battery is already the best I've had in a phone by a far margin. I'm coming from a Galaxy S23 and a Pixel 10 Pro.
Good Lock and some 3rd party Launchers make customizing the phone's granular setting and both screen setups individually thorough and meticulous. There are seemingly infinite styles and ergonomic layouts to choose from. I spent probably 6 hours setting up and tweaking the phone on the first day. I've had it for almost a week now and I have no regrets. I don't even want to go back to tall, slender slab phones. Picking up one of those old phones after a few days with the Z Fold 8 felt comical and primitive. We have evolved as humans and so has our tech.

Love the new form factor
on August 10, 2026
Posted by: tmhvr25
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far I'm loving the new form factor of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8. I chose the it specifically because of the new size. I do miss the telephoto camera, but the other cameras are still doing quite well.

This phone is a great step in the right direction.
on August 10, 2026
Posted by: DustinBuddy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pros:
Great aspect ratio for both screens
Really nice to have a very user friendly front screen
Battery life is superb
The lack of crease is amazing
Weight of the device is perfect
Cons:
Speakers only being on one side while opened is a misstep
The cameras really should line up horizontally at the top of device as my hand placement usually blocks the flash and bottom camera

This phone is a step in the right direction. It's not perfect but it's very close and I can't wait the the next interation to see if Samsung is listening to the customers.

Perfect redesign!
on August 10, 2026
Posted by: JonNish
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Z fold 8 because of the redesign and I have been patiently waiting on the new passport style since my first Z fold 6 years ago. So far, very happy with the new style and amazed that the screen is better than the fold 7 with minimal crease. Definitely recommend this phone.
