Critic consensus
“The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 sets a new standard for book-style foldables by pairing a squatter, video-friendly inner display with excellent battery life, quick performance, and genuinely helpful AI features, making it the foldable to beat.”
“We like the Galaxy Z Fold8 a lot. Its proportions will certainly help bring a lot more people to the foldable camp. Other than its underwhelming camera hardware, there is nothing really wrong with it. And while it remains in a league of its own, it is difficult not to recommend.”
“The Galaxy Z Fold 8 is a peek into the future of foldables, of that I’m certainly convinced. As mentioned, I think the first few generations of book-style foldables were designed more so with the “how” of building these devices in mind more than the “why” of how they were going to be used. That resulted in some funky first form factors that happened to find some utility along the way, but has really evolved into this – a book-style foldable that’s ready for everyone.”
“For anyone who spends hours reading, watching and scrolling on their phone, the Z Fold 8 might be the right fit. Just don’t be surprised if its unusual shape catches the attention of curious onlookers.”
