Exciting form factor.
on August 16, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose to shake things up a bit and ditch the traditional candy bar phone for a short and stubby passport style foldable. It's been 3 days and I'm loving all the tweaks and customization available in the new operating system I wish that the phone had different camera placement and included a telephoto lens. I miss the old version of the inner display's selfie camera. A tad intrusive and I don't see any use case. The speaker placement could also be better next iteration because it does not provide stereo sound when in landscape viewing on the inner screen. I wish it was $250 cheaper and I could say it was a good value, but it is a solid device.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used fold7 and switched to fold8. It is well worth it just to have slightly wider screen. I think i can't never go back to iphones.

ONLY 3 THINGS NEED TO BE BETTER

Hello Samsung. Just wanted to thank y'all for these new Z FOLDS (8 & 8 ULTRA). Based on what i have seen and felt, if i may make ONLY 2 suggestions. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, Make the z fold 9 with the same hinge as the z fold 8 ultra and give it the same camera 200mp. Other than that, I would have boughten the z fold 8 over the 8 ultra due to its size and functionality. I hope this reaches you well and have high hopes for the passport phone (z fold 8) next year. If you make this work....best bet, I WILL be upgrading to this phone for sure as this is what my wife and I really wanted until we found out the hinge, camera, & also battery life. Thanks.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Z Fold 8. I will always stay with the Fold phones because it is so versatile. I love reading on the Fold phones. This is my third Fold. I had the 3 and just traded the 6 for the New Z Fold 8. I will always own a Fold. LOVE IT!

A Multitasking Powerhouse, with minor gripes
on August 16, 2026
Posted by: DaveFromSeattleUSA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Z Fold 8 continues to refine what makes a foldable great. The form factor is excellent, and the software experience is top-tier. Whether I am using the cover screen or have it fully opened, it is an absolute joy for reading, heavy multitasking, and watching videos. Samsung has really dialed in the day-to-day usability.
As for the cameras, it is no secret that the telephoto lens is lacking compared to standard flagships, so there are no surprises there. However, my biggest gripe is the opened-position selfie camera. The current placement sometimes blocks text on the screen, which gets frustrating when you are trying to read or get things done. Samsung really should take a page out of Google's book and move it to the corner, similar to the Pixel Fold, to keep the screen clear.
Overall, despite the camera quirks, I absolutely love this phone. If you want a device that excels at productivity and media consumption in both folded and unfolded positions, it is hard to beat.

Dim Screen outside
on August 16, 2026
Posted by: Magdiel
I love the phone but I live in FL and Everytime I try to use my Z Fold 8 in direct sunlight it dims the screen a lot. Also when using Maps on my car dash it dims the screen to black and can't see anything. I hope they fix this I'll have to return the phone. My other issue which I can keep ve with this is social media apps cut the videos because of how short the screen is but thats more an app developer issue.
