[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don't like being coached into what like about anything..I've always wanted a flip phone but I always felt it just wasn't right for me that goes for ultra fold phone too...but chose fold 8 because for me it hit sweet spot not to big not small....I can one hand it with little issue I honestly have no complains for my needs watching media shopping and multiple tasking this is multi entertainment center in a pocket just need good pair earbuds and this will blow your mind

My new phone Z fold 8
on August 15, 2026
Posted by: Papisaul
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first Fold-series phone, and I’m glad I chose it; the design is very elegant and lightweight, and the images look great. The cameras are good, and the feel in the hand is very different. The only thing I’d want to change is the battery—I’d prefer a 5,000 to 6,000 mAh one.
I would like it better if they perfected the cameras; I hope to really enjoy this new phone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just got the phone and I've been on it constantly for hours on end. Can you tell I wasn't an android user? Lol it's been amazing and so far it has been wonderful to use. I've been using phones for 15 years. It was a big leap for me and never knew the amount of customizations there is on this phone. I really LOVE IT. Thanks samsung for creating such a wonderful experience

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having started with the Fold 5 to the 7 and now the 8. This is by far the best one I have had. Using this phone for media and remote PC work is great.

Finally a Samsung Fold that folds the right way
on August 15, 2026
Posted by: Thaaat1guy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This device gives me such nostalgia of a time when phones weren't all the same and it's executed so we'll.
I'm an early adapter of dual screen and foldable devices and a HUGE fan of the passport design, since the Surface Duo and the original Pixel Fold. I broke the inner screen of my Pixel Fold and felt like I lost a limb while I painfully waited 2.5 months for the Z Fold8 (wide). I didn't wait because I wanted "the latest," but because I absolutely could not commit to the awkwardly skinny form factor of the original Z Fold7, no matter how well Samsung does foldables. I'm telling you right now... IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT!
I can't tell you the last time I was this obsessed with a phone. It just feels right. It's looks amazing and fun to use. This aspect ratio is perfect for multitasking and increases my productivity tenfold. How anyone could still use a slab phone in 2026 and actually be productive is beyond me.
My only two gripes are:
1. It's not big enough. I want this exact aspect ratio, but bigger. And yes, I know that means it would be even wider but I would love that
2. Samsung didn't release a flagship spec'd version of it. The Z Fold8 and Z Fold8 Ultra ARE NOT the same device AT ALL, and you can't convince me otherwise.
But I'm hoping that Samsung addresses both in Gen 2.

Overall, I'm extremely happy. The pros far outweigh the cons. Two weeks in and I'm just as obsessed as I was on day one. I still get excited every time I use it.

Two weeks with the Galaxy Z Fold 8
on August 15, 2026
Posted by: Rana08
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had the Galaxy Z Fold 8 for two weeks, so this is a first-impressions review rather than a long-term one. But two weeks was enough to change how I use a phone.
The wide format is the story. I actually bought the Z Fold 8 and the Z Fold 8 Ultra together, expecting the Ultra, the taller, more traditional format to become my daily phone. It hasn't. The Ultra has the more impressive spec sheet, but the Fold 8 is the one I keep reaching for. At 201g it disappears in my pocket, and the 5.5-inch cover screen is wide enough that I genuinely don't unfold it for messages, calls or quick browsing. That was the real surprise: folded, it's already a good phone.
Unfolded is where it justifies the price. I watched The Dating App Killer on the 7.6-inch screen and forgot I was holding a phone. True crime is mostly dim interiors and night footage, and that's exactly where cheaper screens turn into grey mud, here the blacks stayed black and I could still see detail in the dark scenes.
Day to day it handles everything I throw at it, browsing, documents, email side by side, without a stutter or any noticeable heat. Battery comfortably gets me through to the evening on mixed use.
The honest downsides: I miss a dedicated telephoto lens when I want to zoom in on something, and I'm still slightly precious with the hinge in a way I never was with an ordinary phone.
Two weeks in, the Fold 8 is the one that stays in my pocket — and I genuinely didn't expect to say that.
Overall, It's Amazing.

Best Foldable Yet!!!
on August 15, 2026
Posted by: Tamekka
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose to purchase the Fold 8 after having every Fold phone since the Fold 2 because the new form factor was a breath of fresh air! Every phone has been long and narrow and while I was tempted to get the Fold 8 Ultra, once I saw what the Fold 8 was going to be I immediately jumped at the opportunity to own one. This phone is absolutely amazing and looks great in Lavender. The shorter wider front display makes reading and typing so much easier than on the Fold 7 which I upgraded from. Websites, books and social media scrolling looks great unfolded and even more epic once unfolded. This phone is a video media consumption dream. I can NEVER return back to the old style of foldable, Fold 8 is the now and it will undoubtedly be the future of foldable too. I love this phone!
