[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I choose the zfold 8 because of the new form factor. It is much better tailored for viewing videos and twitch streams. Most features of the phone are an upgrade from my zfold 5, especially the amazing speakers, however, 2 of the main hiccups for me have been tbe RCS chat transfer (when transferring Esim, you wont be able to text anymore unless you do a very long winded process that doesnt always work) and the lack of the camera notch pixels that previously hid the inner camera. Im not sure why the inner screen needs a camera, it majorly discracts from full screen gaming and videos. I can get used to it though.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed a upgrade on my zfold and I chose this new series of the z fold collection and I love the new color and style. Fits nice and it's light weight. I'm really enjoying my new phone.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have owned every Samsung Z Fold since the Z Fold2 (I skipped the Z Fold 5). I recently traded in my Z Fold7 for the new Z Fold8, and the new folding phone is nearly perfect for me. It is smaller, lighter, and easier to use. The large inner screen is just the right size for me. I don't miss the telephoto lens or the S-Pen. I'm not much of a photographer, and back in my Samsung Note days I rarely used the S-Pen
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I live the color. The shape. The snap of the fold. Seems great! Love being able to have a tablet and a phone.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just received this phone last night. Right out out the box it feels like a completely different phone. Not only is the big screen great but transferring all my data from the previous phone to this one was incredibly easy. I had zero issues transferring all my apps, contacts and now from my old phone without having to install any apps. The screen brightness is amazing. Videos on this phone look great with vivid colors. If it's like having 3 phones in one because you can easily have 3 different apps running on your outside screen and your large screen at the same time. I realize the price is steep but it is well worth it. Since it is a phone and a tablet in one device it will save me from having to pack two things instead when I travel. I highly recommended it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had each and every Fold model since Samsung started with them. I have been very pleased with each of them, but this time I went with the Fold 8 instead. A smaller package that is as powerful as the Fold Ultra but just smaller. Easier to carry, but lacking only a few things. No hinge to work with to set it up like the Ultra and smaller icons. BUT I'd buy the Fold 8 again!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was fortunate enough to be able to see and handle both the Galaxy Fold 8 and Fold 8 Ultra in person. This was a huge factor in my decision on which one to choose. I chose the Fold 8 due to its size in my hand and what I felt was a better ergonomic both in the open and closed positions. Although I was still skeptical as this was my first fold phone, I have enjoyed it very much and am excited to get to know what all it is capable of. I think Samsung did a great job with this design and I've been asked about this phone multiple times already simply based on it's unique shape.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Z Fold 8 after days and days of research and watch reviews of the device online. I've always wanted a foldable but there was always something holding me back besides the price. I was always a fan of the Ultra series, especially the cameras. I loved the telephoto lense. Unfortunately the Z series never brought them over. As I got older the camera was no longer my first priority, and phone became all too similar. When the Z Fold 8 rumors started about a new form factor it immediately caught my attention. One of my biggest gripes about the fold were how long they always were. Phones seem to always get thinner and longer, consuming media always seemed stretched out and it always needed 2 hands to be used. My only major concern with this phone is the battery life, I wish Samsung went with a bigger battery, so it could last longer and the cameras. I'd love if they'd get rid of the inner screen camera and just focus on the outside cameras, since we're able to take selfies using the outer cameras anyways. But like I've said I don't take as many pictures as I used to so I'm willing to compromise on the camera aspect. The form factor of this phone alone was the main reason I chose it. It's the perfect size to consume media, game and browse socials on the go. And when you're ready to sit down and really relax you can open it up and it becomes a small tablet where you can immersive yourself in movies or games, in the perfect aspect ratio.
