[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose to upgrade from my Z Fold5, which I already loved, and the Z Fold8 takes the experience to an entirely new level. I use my phone for virtually everything in my daily life: social media, reading news, taking photos, and researching a wide variety of topics ranging from food and shopping to in-depth study materials. It is also my primary device for reading, watching educational videos, and streaming movies and series. Having a compact device in my pocket that seamlessly transforms into a full tablet experience wherever I go is incredibly satisfying. With the Z Fold8, I am even happier with my choice. Samsung managed to make it noticeably smaller and much lighter, making it significantly more comfortable to carry and hold. Yet, when unfolded, the main screen still delivers the absolute perfect size for reading, watching content, and getting things done. It is the ultimate device for anyone who wants high portability without compromising on screen real estate.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been carrying the Z Fold Wide as my daily driver for the past couple weeks, and it's the first foldable that's actually replaced my regular phone instead of feeling like a novelty. The big change is the shape — shorter and wider than every Fold before it. Folded, it sits in my pocket like a normal phone instead of poking out. Unfolded, the 7.6" screen is closer to a small tablet, which makes it genuinely great for multitasking — email in one pane, a doc or spreadsheet in the other. Performance has been smooth with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 — no lag switching between apps or running heavier tasks. Battery life is solid for a foldable, though I'm charging every night without fail; the 4,800mAh cell is an improvement over last year but still not class-leading. Camera is good, not great — the 50MP main and ultrawide handle daily shots well, but there's no telephoto, so anything beyond digital zoom loses detail fast. If zoom matters to you, look at the Ultra instead. The crease is far less noticeable than on older Folds, and the hinge feels solid. My one real complaint: still no dust resistance rating at this price point, which feels like an oversight in 2026. Bottom line: if you want a foldable that's actually comfortable to carry and use one-handed, this is the one to get. If you need zoom or an S Pen, the Ultra is the better fit.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose this model because it reminded me of the old square phones. I like that this phone is light and quick to switch from front screen to larger display. So far the lack of a third camera has not bothered me, but the soundfrom these speakers is very flat almost tinny. I must say I enjoy this phone but it could be improved.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This exceeding my expectations in terms of ease of use and comfortability. I chose thise device because it didn't look bulky. It's actually much thinner then I even thought
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had the zfold 7 and I chose the zfold 8 due to the aspect ratio. I felt like the full screen in the 7 is basically the same size as regular phones with black bars on top and bottom.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the z fold 8. Everything since the z fold 4 I've always had a z fold in my pocket. The z fold 8 is a nice miniature productivity powerhouse that can easily fit in my pocket.
Taking quick notes, creating tasks on ticktick, feel better and more natural on the wider cover screen.
Watching video and reviewing PDF files, Word documents, spreadsheets on the inner 7.6 in inner screen is also great, even better when you rotate it from landscape to portrait.
Over all this is a nice well rounded phone and a lot of people can make use of this phone no matter the situation or location.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Oh my God, what an experience! I never expected to feel this way about technology again. This phone opens up new possibilities in how I use my device. Many of my dreams about phone design, once considered impossible, are now a reality in this phone. Thank you, Samsung, for delivering a product that many of us have been longing for over the years. The feel and fit of this phone are incredible—so light yet so high quality. As I mentioned in my title, and I truly mean it, I think I am in love.
