This is by far the coolest phone on the market here in the USA. I've had almost every iPhone since the 5, and now won't be going back to using an iPhone again. I could care less about the blue bubbles.
Opening this phone and using the larger screen is just amazing. The front screen is a useful as well. There is a slight adjustment period, but after a week of daily use, I am very confidant and comfortable using this. Everything just works better.
Galaxy Z fold 8 is probably the best phone I've ever owned so far and I've been a samsung user since the very first smart phones.
Its versatility and passport style form makes it great for daily, entertainment use whether I'm mobile gaming or watching videos. The crease is noticeable at first but you tend to forget about it quickly. Hopefully they can perfect the tri-fold and bring it back as i love how they have made the foldables.
This phone is way better than i imagined. coming from the Fold 7, this phone is a breath of fresh air because of the form factor alone. the compact yet wide size is perfect for me. I thought i would miss the taller front screen of the Fold 7 but i dont and i prefer this size for both work and play. if you're on the fence, go to your local ATT store and feel it in your hand. This is a phone you will have to experience in order to get it especially for the price you will end up paying.
I purchased this item as a gift for my brother and he absolutely LOVES his new phone. He speaks abt how amazed he is with the open screen layout and the passport size. He recently had an Apple phone so this new Android Passport device is keeping him.real happy
I've been using the Z fold8 for almost 2 weeks now and I totally love it. The battery life has been awesome, I'm getting around 6.5 hours of screen time when I'm on WiFi, and I'd say I'm a pretty heavy user. This is seriously Samsung's best design for a foldable. The crease is barely there, and unlike older foldables where it gets worse over time, that's not happening with the Fold 8. You really have to look for it, and even then, it's shallow and even, you can hardly feel it. You don't even see it when you're using the inside screen. I actually use the front screen more than the inside one, mostly because during the day I'm busy and just need to text, call, or listen to music. But when I'm winding down, I'll open it up to the bigger screen to scroll through social media and watch YouTube or Netflix. When I'm on social media, I turn the phone sideways because the content fits the screen way better. My only real gripe is how long it takes to charge. The phone tends to get a bit warm, which slows down the charging to prevent overheating. I think with some app and OS updates, Samsung and developers will sort out these little issues over time. My other complaint is that it doesn't have a zoom camera. Samsung already decided not to use the 200mp sensor and went with a 50mp one instead, but I really wish they'd found a way to add at least 3x optical zoom. The 50mp main lens takes great photos and videos when there's enough light, and it does a decent job in low light too, just not as good as some other foldables out there. I always use 24mp mode, which I think takes better pictures than the standard 12mp and even the 50mp. Don't let the cameras stop you from getting this phone. Digital 4x works pretty well, but when you zoom out to 10x, that's when you'll really notice the missing optical zoom lens. I totally recommend this device.
Love this phone. Takes great pictures/videos and really enjoy having the option to open it up when i need something bigger. Definitely recommend getting a case for it. Best Buy is limited right now on good all arou d protection cases so I got mine on Amazon. Would definitely recommend.
I would recommend this to a friend!
