[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Galaxy Z Fold 8 because of the size. This is the perfect size for carrying closed and consuming content when opened. It is also well balanced in the hand when opened for 2 handed use. The keys are not too crowded or too far away. I do miss the telephoto and an s pen but I have my S26 Ultra for those duties.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose this cell due to the new wider base screen. Battery life is good and the only issue is dropping wifi at times and clocking. Can you help with that issue? Everything else is working properly as designed.
[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.
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!
[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.
