My Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ongoing Review Living With Samsung's Passport Foldable
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 is being reviewed for its compact, passport-sized design and 4:3 aspect ratio. While the reviewer praises its multitasking capabilities and form factor, they note the high price point and lack of a telephoto lens.
Why it matters
As foldable technology matures, the Z Fold 8 represents Samsung's attempt to refine the user experience for a specific niche of power users.
Samsung's new book-style foldable phone is making a strong first impression, but I'm still testing how it holds up in everyday use.
Samsung’s foldable lineup is ambitious lately, from last year’s super-slim Galaxy Z Fold 7 to the sprawling Galaxy Z TriFold . But the phone I’m most excited about using is the new passport-sized Galaxy Z Fold 8 .
With a 4:3 aspect ratio and a satisfyingly compact build, the Z Fold 8 feels refreshingly different from most phones sold today. Unfolded, it’s well-suited for watching horizontal videos and multitasking in landscape mode, while also giving vertically oriented apps more room to breathe in portrait orientation. The 5.5-inch cover display is comfortable for everyday tasks like texting or checking email, while the 7.6-inch inner display is more versatile for scrolling or binging without feeling oversized.
