[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The phone is great. I love the form factor and weight. The camera is good. The screens are beautiful. The battery life is great. The inside screen is perfect for reading, multitasking, and even typing! I find myself using the inside portrait mode more than I thought I would!! But I feel like Samsung stopped short on dedicated software for the form factor.
There are some things that feel awkward coming from the s26U. The smaller outside display could use its own dedicated settings. Without good lock when swiping back on the cover screen you don't always move back. This makes it seems like the screen is unresponsive when actually the gesture is closer to the top of the screen than middle. The font is too small. You can change the font and zoom but that also changes the font on the inside screen. I chose a routine to manage this. The lockscreen text can also overlap. I like my clock and widgets in the center of the screen. When I do this and have notifications the lockscreen text (my contact info) will overlap. I'm sure I'll notice other small things as I continue to use the device. I still love the device. I hope with feedback and software upgrades this inconsistencies will be corrected.
There also should be a layout just for tablets and folds for the notes app.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First time trying a Samsung fold phone wow! I I'm glad I chose to upgrade from 26ultra what a amaizing upgrade I got plenty of compliments just on the first days on owning it,,,, LOve it!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far, after using the new fold 8 for about a week, I think it may be my favorite form factor, the cover screen is big enough to use it as a regular phone , while being compact and the inner screen is big and beautiful, definitely a solid phone.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a Z Fold 3 then Z Fold 6 user I chose the Z Fold 8 because I was very excited to have the wider cover screen. The Z Fold 8 is everything I was hoping for in a new phone!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So nice to get a form factor that makes tech interesting again , and the bigger take away is a tech company actually listened to their customers and gave them what they want. This might be the phone I use for years.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was looking for a phone that would finally comfortably fit my lifestyle, and I chose the Z Fold 8 because in day to day tasks, I feel like I have a compact phone that fits in the palm of my hand. Then, when I want an expansive screen to get work done or watch content, I simply unfold it. Then, when unfolded, you can choose your aspect ratio to either have a taller phone experience or a wide screen experience.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold since the Z Fold 3. When I heard the news that a wider version was coming, I was so excited because I thought it might fit the way I have been using a larger display while still being convenient to carry. Now that I’ve been using it for several days, I can say that it truly satisfies the reason I chose the Fold in the first place to enjoy in a modernized shape.
