Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’ve been using iPhones for the last 10 years or so, and I finally decided to switch back to Samsung. This phone was my return to Android, and I was worried it would feel too different from what I was used to. After using it for about two weeks, I can honestly say I love it. My biggest concern was the screen size when the phone is closed, but I adjusted to it much faster than I expected. In fact, I now really appreciate the smaller size. It’s more convenient, takes up less space in my pocket, and feels great for everyday use. One minor drawback is that some apps, like Instagram, don’t always make full use of the cover screen. Videos can appear smaller than I’d like, which sometimes means opening the phone just to comfortably view something. I don’t really consider that a fault of the phone itself, but it can be a little inconvenient when you’re trying to check something quickly. When the phone is open, the crease is practically invisible during normal use. Battery life has also been excellent. The fast charging is impressive, and even a short charge makes a noticeable difference. Most days, I only charge it during my commute, and that’s enough to get me through a full workday and plenty of use at home afterward. Overall, I’m very happy with the switch and have been pleasantly surprised by how quickly this phone won me over.

Huge upgrade from Flip 5. So much screen. With light use, you get 2 days of charge. Perfect aspect ratio for daily usage. Both displays rock. Side mounted fingerprint reader just feels natural. Two hole punch cameras males it easy to take calls. Very light. From dev pov, was looking for something that can double for note taking & agentic coding on the go. Was great of BB to extend the promotion.

This is coming from an Apple user. I quite shocked on how good this phone is. I like the passport size also and it just makes sense. You open it up to view apps on a larger display and you close it to use it like a regular smartphone. The versatility alone is worth the price. You know longer need a iPad and iPhone … you just need a Galaxy Fold8. I will be trying the iPhone Fold when released. For now, this is the best phone available on the market. It’s the sweet spot of portable technology.

Everything about this phone is close to perfect. I am not a huge fan of the sharp corners but I will live with that based on the perfection of everything else. The display is amazing, fantastic battery life and the camera is great for an everyday user especially with including the wide angle,. I prefer iOS as an operating system, but occasionally if I want to play with Android, this would be the phone I would pick up.

I love this device because it is compact enough to store in my pocket but as powerful as a bigger device.

I’m really impressed with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8. From the moment I started using it, I noticed how well it combines the convenience of a smartphone with the experience of a larger screen. The display is absolutely beautiful, with excellent colors, sharp details, and a smooth experience for watching videos, browsing the web, gaming, and multitasking. The performance is fast and responsive, and switching between multiple apps feels effortless.

Got this phone for my husband, he loves it and I do as well. Very impressed with how Samsung has ungraded the flip into this. The screen on the front makes it easy to scroll and watch YouTube but the inside takes you into a whole different dimension. Love it!

I wasn't going to get this one, I was thinking about it for a month, then I went to best buy and tried it... OMG, I'm just in love with the new form factor. I will get another one for my wife though

Best phone i have ever held, use this for a bit and you wont be able to come back. This is an amazing phone, i reccomend getting a dbrand case be ause its amazing.

Just bought it! it is a great phone so far, good size, easy to use. I am very happy about it.

Love the customization abilities on this phone and how user friendly it is, i was doubting switching from apple but love the change and i wish i did it sooner

My wife loves her phone and fits her style perfectly, plus she is small and so is the phone

It is the PERFECT size when folded to travel around with and it turns into a mini tablet capable of too much, in a good way! The only con I did not read about is that the speaker phone for calls is WEAK. I did not see that anywhere on internet when I did my research. Crease is a non-issue, seriously. Beware it is not dust resistant so I recommend a protection plan. I opted for Best Buy Geek Squad plan. Moving from iPhone 16 pro max to this. The switch? Long if you do it manually like me. I wanted to start fresh. SUPER light in comparison to 16 pro max. The OS and software run some of my apps BETTER. No more having stubborn apps close on you and lose your progress. I hate when iPhone does that. The buttons take getting used to as they are more clicks and firm. Hard to screenshot on fold. Oh and you have to double tap to wake which sucks. There may be a work around, not sure yet. The inner display top layer IS replaceable. Samsung replaces free in first year one time. After that it’s like $19 I think. Might have to ship in which is a huge thing to consider. Keyboard does by default take a lot of space on screen BUT with customization or third party apps, you can modify. Love the lavender color. It’s literally so cute. Loud ringer, just not loud voice call. I may look into a solution. Seriously great phone. Just don’t drop! Baby it. lol. I’m still in adjustment period switching from iPhone, but I think this is the best for me. Oh, yes, I DO know the Duo is out. It MAY fixe the speaker volume issue and btw it has more even speakers in landscape mode in inner screen, BUT the outside is asymmetrical and I don’t care for it. You CANNOT multitask like you can on Samsung. Samsung allows third window plus floating. Duo you’re doomed. I didn’t even see you can have floating window. Now the Duo DOES have Apple Pencil support coming later 2026, BUT from owning this size, I feel like you’re better off using an iPad. Also, are you really going to carry around a pencil in your small pocket??? Now if you prefer that over carrying around iPad, sure! I think the duo will be quite amazing. I can’t wait to see it in person once it hits stores. I have concerns about the duos matte display. How much is it going to make image not sharp? Will it wear down the Apple Pencil tip? Will Apple replace top glass? And for how much? Definitely get a protection plan if you buy. Oh okay so battery life of fold 8 is good. Whole day for sure. Unless you constantly game lol. Doesn’t charge as quick on 16 pro max. No built in MagSafe, so case is needing or at least an ugly magnet sticky ring on back. Screen is AMAZING. Love love love. Comparable to iPad Pro m5. So good. Recommend? Yes, unless one of the cons I mentioned is deal breaker. Hope this review helps.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 represents a refreshing shift in Samsung's lineup, introducing a wider, passport-style design that is significantly more comfortable to hold and use as a daily device. Unfolding the phone reveals a spacious inner display with a much less visible crease, making it fantastic for streaming media, gaming, and running side-by-side apps. Powered by the new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, the phone delivers incredibly snappy performance and surprisingly excellent battery life that can easily power through a full day of heavy use. However, it isn't completely without compromises. The $1,899 starting price is undeniably steep, and the 50MP main camera may underwhelm power users looking for true flagship photography. Still, its thinner profile, lighter weight, and highly usable cover screen make the Z Fold 8 the most practical and enjoyable foldable Samsung has released to date.

"Its new design surprised me so much! I am beyond amazed and happy to have this new foldable phone. Excellent size, light weight, powerful, long-lasting battery, crisp display, and the cameras are amazing!"

Design: The big change is the wider, shorter “passport” shape. It’s more comfortable as a normal phone and still gives you a 7.6-inch 120Hz inner display when opened Performance: Excellent. The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy makes it a top-tier Android performer Display: Excellent—bright, smooth and with a less noticeable crease. The 4:3 inner screen is particularly good for reading, multitasking and browsing. Cameras: Good, but this is still not Samsung's best camera phone. The regular Fold 8 lacks a dedicated telephoto, so zoom photography is its biggest weakness. Battery: 4,800mAh, with 45W wired charging. It should comfortably get through a moderate-use day, but competitors offer larger batteries and faster charging. Software: One UI 9/Android 17 and Samsung's multitasking features remain a major reason to choose the Fold.

It fits perfectly in the hand, slips into any pocket, and is very lightweight. Shape: 4.5/5. Battery: 4.5/5; depending on tablet mode usage, it usually lasts through the day without issues. Heating: 3/5; it gets a bit warm during heavier-than-usual use. Price: 3.5/5; yes, it is expensive, but I bought it during excellent Best Buy promotions, making it very affordable. Recommended for anyone who occasionally needs a larger screen.

I was coming from a Z Fold 6, and right away, I thought I made a mistake getting this wider form factor, and for about 1 week and a half, it was. In order to really get use out of this phone, you'll have to adapt, and learn how to always use the inner screen, meaning, don't even think about using the outer screen much except notification checking and the simplest of tasks, the rest, you'll have to unfold it, and get on with it on the inner screen, and you'll have to relearn when to go portrait or when landscape. Once you master that, you're good to go. At one point I did want to go back to the ultra, and for the next upgrade, I feel if Samsung doesn't improve this form factor, I will for certain go back to the ultra form factor, it's just easier to use, and it's thinner. What samsung need to do with this wide format, is to make it slightly taller, and maybe even a little wider, but for sure thinner and lighter. At 45W super fast charging 2.0, the battery can be thinner, and smaller, it takes no time to charge up, 90 minutes from 14% to 90%, and we live in a charge rich environment, it's everywhere, at home, in car, at the office, there's no shortage, there's absolutely no reason why the battery can't be smaller. That said, The Camera really needed to be 200mp, like the S25Edge, no excuse. It was a good first try, bold and brave, we like it.

i was never really sold on foldables until i got the new z fold 8. honestly, the completely redesigned form factor is the only reason i finally made the switch, and it’s perfect. instead of feeling super tall and awkwardly narrow like the older ones, it’s shorter, wider, and basically the size of a passport when it’s closed. the new 10:16 cover screen actually feels like a normal phone now—i can comfortably use it one-handed to shoot off texts or scroll without feeling like i’m holding a tv remote.

When folded, the phone fits neatly in one hand and you can easily reach all four corners. It views most vertical and horizontal content really well without too much extra give. It unfolds to a high-res 4:3 screen the size of a small tablet. You really can't see the crease at all unless you're viewing at an angle. I'm a huge fan of my new Fold8 and would recommend it to anyone looking for a comfy form factor with the flexibility (no pun intended) to turn into a small tablet at a moment's notice.
