Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 and Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra Review: The Right Shape

WIRED Wider, shorter shape of Fold8 and lighter design make it easier to use. Top-of-the-line performance. Strong cameras. Satisfying battery life. Less visible crease. TIRED No zoom camera on the Fold8. Phones are rocky on a flat surface. Still very expensive. It took Samsung nearly a decade to realize that maybe folding phones deserve a new shape. For too long, its Fold and Flip smartphones have been designed around the traditional candy bar shape we've all come to know. The Flip folds that candy bar in half to make it even more pocketable, and the Fold adds a second, similarly long and narrow slab to the first for a booklike experience.
