This is by far the worst phone this phone isn't worth half the asking price cameras are subpar battery life is terrible keyboard is laggy I've had the phone for two days and it's being returned and I'll gladly pay the restocking fee the only pro I have and the reason for 2 stars is i like the fold idea.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose to purchase the new Z Fold 8 because of its form factor. I’ve been using a big slab phone for years and I think it is starting to get too heavy for daily use. Most of the slab phone in the market today are head- heavy and I needed a phone that is light and can also be wide enough when I need it to.
That is the reason I decided to get a foldable phone and the Z Fold 8 size and form factor is just perfect. The phone is small enough when it is folded for daily use and wide enough for me to still be able to do photo editing when it is unfolded.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Fold 8 over ultra because the screen size makes it easier for me to review social media and YouTube. I highly recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Z Fold 8 has good build quality, strong performance specs, a quality screen and camera, a unique form factor, all while being a light phone for its size.
I didn't imagine I'd be using the unfolded inside screen as much as I do, as it makes for a great experience when playing games or watching movies and videos. There is some letterboxing, given, because of the 4:3 ratio vs the traditional 16:9 widescreen ratio that most videos use, but its still a lot of real estate.
The real interesting feature about the inside screen is the ability to split 2 different apps side by side and interact with them independently. It's like it's meant for the ardent multitasker. I use it on occasion to search different articles side by side.
I do have some minor criticisms. The built-in speakers aren't great. I feel like they could be a little better. The onboard software is also a bit bloaty, but I can disable most of the stuff I don't need with a few exceptions.
The Z Fold 8 is a very complete foldable phone, and I'm glad I chose it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Z Fold 8 and I couldn't be happier. The device is extremely snappy and smooth. Everything just works. The smaller form factor front screen is a welcome change for using the device in one hand, and it makes the full inner screen experience a perfect aspect ratio that is already compatible with almost every application in full screen mode.
