Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Deepak Dhingra]()
Verdict
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 stands out for its wide form factor, which is refreshing & useful in day-to-day use. It bridges the gap between the productivity-focused Fold & the sleek Flip form factors, emerging as a sweet middle ground. Samsung hasn't compromised on core aspects such as build quality, performance, & battery life. The One UI platform & Samsung's ecosystem benefits are among its strengths too. If you can afford it, the Galaxy Z Fold8 is a compelling option.
Pros
- Refreshing, useful new form factor
- Thin & light, with solid build quality
- Samsung`s ecosystem
- Good performance & battery life
Cons
- Priced on the higher side
- One-handed usage isn`t great
About that shape. And the view
+
The Galaxy Z Fold8 adopts a wide stance, mainly due to its 5.5-inch screen that bears a ratio of 10:16, which is quite similar to a passport. And when you open it up, the screen that you get to see is 7.6 inches in size, bearing a 4:3 aspect ratio. While I'll get to the use cases and capabilities of the two screens, it's also worth talking about the engineering and the attention to detail. The device wouldn't be what it is if it had been thick and heavy, but at 201 grams, it's lighter than its flagship siblings, the Z Fold8 Ultra and S26 Ultra. 9.7mm thick when folded, and a mere 4.5mm when open, the Z Fold8 is a device that doesn't weigh you down, and it's super easy to slip into the pocket of your jeans or shirt, or a ladies' purse.

Shooting, and shooting well
+
A 10MP front-facing snapper adorns each of the two displays, and on the rear, a pair of lenses stick out on the left corner. There's no telephoto on offer, and you get a 50MP, optically stabilised main camera, paired up with another 50MP ultrawide. Apart from the missing telephoto, this is a capable camera system that delivers good results across different lighting conditions. One thing to remember is that while the Z Fold8 might not be trying to dethrone any of the specialised camera-focused flagships out there, photography is a key aspect for any smartphone and the Z Fold8 doesn't disappoint. It delivers sharp, vibrant shots in good lighting conditions, with ample detail and balanced focus. Low light shots also turn out well for the most part. Suffice it to say that users won't be disappointed as far as day-to-day photography is concerned.

The softer aspects
+
I've waxed lyrical about Samsung's ecosystem features before and the Galaxy Z Fold8 ticks all those boxes as well. One UI is intuitive, customisable, and yet, packs enough for power users. Plus, it's loaded with a ton of features that make owning and using a Samsung phone a delight.

How does it perform? And can it really last a full day without juicing up?
+
Courtesy its Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC and 12 gigs of RAM (16GB if you opt for the 1TB storage model), the Z Fold8 is at a level where benchmark numbers become irrelevant, and any question regarding performance is moot. Still, a few benchmark comparisons are given below in case you're interested. From a real-life perspective, I'll just say that the performance is super-smooth and befits its premium flagship status. The Z Fold8 can handle anything thrown at it, and that includes heavy apps and games. It does get a bit warm when stressed, but given its svelte chassis, that's not surprising.
