I'm upgrading from a Galaxy S23+ and I have to say, for the first time in years I've had that 'wow' moment of holding something new in my hand, which I last felt years ago when I held an HTC HD2 and thought, 'This is the future'. I don't think I'm the only one who thinks so; so many units of the Fold 8 have been pre-ordered that Samsung is looking at a new record. As for the phone itself: with the arrival of the Fold 7, foldables finally don't feel like a first-generation product, but something that makes sense for normal use. In my opinion, the Fold 8 is a form factor for the people, just like my S23+ was a phone that was just right for my hand, with no unnecessary bells and whistles – simply for the people. It feels comfortable to hold both folded and unfolded, it isn't extremely slippery in the hand, and I'm not afraid to use it without a case (which backfired on me yesterday, I dropped it on its corner outside), but I consider it a baptism of fire, a durability test for the greater good, if you will (before a certain YouTuber does his own and takes a lighter to the phone). You can see the result in the photo – the aluminium used is really very durable, the whole phone feels very dense and solid. TIP: It's an absolute must to start using GoodLock and HomeUp from Samsung (you can find them in the Samsung App Store).
The workmanship, materials used, design
Speed and performance
The battery really lasts the whole working day until the evening.
Productivity on the inner display
Controllability in closed mode
The speakers are VERY loud for how thin the device is
Fast charging (for Samsung, at least)
Speed of delivery – thanks Alza. I’ve had it at home since 3/8. : )
Dual SIM is eSIM+nanoSIM only
No zoom camera, I would have preferred it over the ultrawide.
The speakers are on the left side of the device when watching a video, so there's no stereo effect.
Some apps get spooked by the non-standard aspect ratio of both the outer and inner display, but they are usable.

I've finally got it and I must say, the Galaxy Z Fold8 is the best phone I've ever had. At first, I was a little worried about its width, especially after switching from the Flip 7 which I was using before. But in the end, it turned out that this is exactly what I was missing with the Flip. In contrast, I found the previous Folds to be unnecessarily tall. For me, the Fold8 finally has the ideal dimensions. The biggest advantage is, of course, the large inner display. When I just need to quickly reply to a message or find something on the internet, I use the front display. But as soon as I want to watch a video, read articles, or work with multiple apps at once, I simply open the phone and the difference is truly enormous. Multitasking works brilliantly and is one of the things that makes a folding phone actually make sense. I was also pleasantly surprised by the build quality. The phone is thinner and lighter than I expected, so it's comfortable to carry even in a pocket. The hinge feels solid and the opening action is nice and smooth. The crease on the display is still a bit visible, but in normal use, I completely stopped noticing it. The performance is faultless. Everything is fast, apps launch instantly, and I haven't encountered any lagging, even when playing games or using multiple apps at once. Plus, the One UI interface is well-adapted for folding phones, so everything works exactly as it should. It's just that some apps aren't fully optimised yet. The camera takes very nice photos. During the day, the photos are sharp with lovely colours, and the phone holds its own in the evening too. If someone is looking for the absolute best camera phone on the market, they might go for the Ultra series, but for everyday photography, the quality is more than sufficient. The battery easily lasted me a full day with normal use. The charging could be a bit faster, but it's not something that limits me in my daily life. The only thing that might put a lot of people off is the price. It's a really expensive phone, and you have to think carefully about whether you will actually make use of the folding design. If you will, I think the investment is worth it. After switching to the Fold8, regular phones seem unnecessarily small and, most importantly, less practical. Overall, I'm really happy with the phone. It offers a great display, high performance, quality build, and features you just won't find on a regular phone. If you're looking for something other than a standard slab and don't mind the higher price, I can recommend the Galaxy Z Fold8 with a clear conscience.
Large and beautiful inner display. Ideal dimensions compared to previous generations. Great multitasking. Fast performance without any lag. High-quality build and a sturdy hinge. Good cameras. All-day battery life. Excellently optimised system.
High purchase price. Charging could be faster. The screen fold is still visible in certain light. You need to get used to the thickness of the phone when folded.

Switching from the Fold 7 to the Galaxy Fold 8 is taking more getting used to than I expected. The phone has a different form factor and I still have to get used to holding it, especially when using the main display – sometimes I feel like it's going to fall out of my hand. Also, because of the thinner body, you can feel the speakers vibrating in your palm more during playback, which didn't happen to me with the Fold 7. However, it's brilliant for films and multitasking, and the battery easily lasts the whole day so far. Overall, though, I'm rather undecided. I had a better feeling about it at first and I'll see if I end up keeping it.

As a former owner of all previous Fold generations, I decided not to go for the top-spec model this time, but to opt for the new direction in the form of the Fold8. The new form factor is truly unique and absolutely brilliant for a folding device. The display dimensions force you to use the phone in a slightly different way to unlock its full potential. When you add in the lower weight and smaller size, you get a truly mobile (easily portable) device that you can easily slip into your pocket, but when unfolded, you essentially have a tablet. This is exactly where the folding design has the greatest potential. It's just a shame about the missing zoom camera; I will miss that a bit.
Unusual form factor
The fold in the display is barely noticeable
Great readability in sunlight
Super ergonomics
weaker photo equipment
magnet for wireless charging only in the case
No S Pen support

I was surprised by how powerful it is, how well everything works and its form factor.
Battery is better than the S23
The displays are great. I use the outer one most of the day. The inner one in the evening. The 4:3 ratio is superb.
In your pocket
I play PC games with the GameNative app. Steam, GOG, Epic. New and old ones work.
A Steam Deck and tablet replacement finally without compromises
It can get hot when playing demanding PC games (Steam). But you just need to set the dynamic CPU/GPU/RAM performance management in the GameNative app, and the games still run the same.

I'm absolutely thrilled with my new phone. It works quickly. The requested actions appear almost instantly. Multitasking is a great thing, it works brilliantly on the phone, I'll use it for streams and other activities. The picture, colours and photos look perfect. It's smaller and wider, and after getting used to it, it's easy to work with, feels nice in the hand and isn't slippery. It paired with the accessories well and intuitively. Altogether it works as a great package. I'm satisfied with the phone and would definitely recommend it.
Quick
It paired perfectly with the accessories.
Beautiful picture, colours and photos
It's nice to hold and doesn't slip.
Luxury design
The battery doesn't last that long with active use.

After ten years, I've switched back to Android from iOS and I'm honestly surprised by how far the Android world has come in that time. In some respects, compared to iOS, I even feel like I've landed in a different century. The Gemini integration is something that continues to fascinate me.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 is exactly the device I've been missing for a long time. It's not too small, nor is it unnecessarily large, and I finally find the format of the inner display to be absolutely ideal for everyday use. As long as you use the phone with both hands, you'll be happy. The challenge comes when you need to type one-handed. Unfortunately, the Samsung keyboard doesn't offer a simple gesture to shrink and move the keyboard to the left or right side, which for me is quite a significant drawback. I solved this by switching to Gboard, which does offer this option.
The camera certainly isn't bad and the phone takes very decent photos. However, coming from an iPhone 15 Pro, I can't shake the feeling that I have to intervene more often to get the final result – for example, adjusting the exposure compensation to make the photo look the way I want. With the iPhone, I was more used to just pulling out the phone, taking a picture, and not having to worry about anything else.
The speakers are the phone's weak point, in my opinion. When unfolded, the sound only comes from one half of the device, and even when folded, it's not exactly a breathtaking experience. I think Apple does this better.
On the other hand, the flexible construction and the hinge feel very robust and you can tell a really solid piece of work has gone into them. The crease where the display folds is minimal. Immediately after unfolding, you can see and feel it for a short while, but after a few minutes, the display flattens out nicely and I practically stop noticing it during use.
Given the phone's design, I'm naturally a little wary of dust and potential damage to the hinge, but so far it definitely doesn't feel flimsy or fragile. Of course, its actual long-term durability can only be judged after a longer period of use.
Overall, the Fold 8 has very pleasantly surprised me. After ten years with iPhones, I expected that returning to Android would mainly involve a lot of getting used to things and making compromises. So far, I have more of the opposite feeling – I'm discovering features and possibilities that I've actually been missing on iOS for a long time.

A perfect foldable phone for me. When folded, it's compact and fits comfortably in my pocket, and when unfolded, it provides enough space for 2–3 windows for parallel work, or for comfortable reading/gaming. After my previous experience with the Flip5, I particularly appreciate the full-featured front display, so now I only open the phone when I really need to, not every single time I use it. Unfortunately, all of this is reflected in the price, but if you can come to terms with it, it's worth it.
The front display is perfectly sufficient for "standard" use of the phone.
Inner display for work/reading/gaming (tasks better suited for a tablet)
The option to set a different home screen for each display.
The construction feels sturdy enough, even with its low weight and thin profile.
Samsung interface without a lot of unnecessary fluff.
Fast, doesn't freeze (the expected standard in this price category)
