Samsung Galaxy Fold8 — Advantages

Pros

Our editorial view of this model’s strengths and limitations.

A wide screen for pages and documents

The 4:3 shape provides more horizontal room than a conventional phone. Pages, photographs and tables can be easier to examine without constant zooming. It suits people who regularly unfold their device, rather than simply want an unusual body.

A relatively light foldable

At 201 g, weight is a practical selling point for something carried everywhere. We like that a large screen need not mean an exceptionally heavy phone. However, comfort must also account for body width.

Power for several apps

The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy provides high-end computing power. That is appropriate here: the display encourages using several windows. Apps that properly adapt to those layouts will provide the greatest benefit.
