Samsung’s new Galaxy Z Fold 8 series is here and, obviously, the company wants you to switch to its new foldable. And yet, Samsung is putting money in all the wrong places to accomplish that goal.
Android is a platform of variety, and that’s even more true now with the launch of Samsung’s new Galaxy Z Fold 8 series, which includes what Google refers to as an “ultra-wide foldable.”
Samsung is addressing one of the key complaints about last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 on its new Galaxy Z Fold 8 lineup, with some small tweaks making it much easier to open up these foldables.
It turns out the RAM crisis affects more than just the cost of the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series, but some of the storage benefits that come with pre-ordering the device.
The wider Galaxy Z Fold 8 is Samsung’s first new foldable form factor in years and, at first glance, it seems like it’d solve a huge problem from past models, the lack of useful space for video. But, sadly, there’s technically no real improvement here.
The newly announced Galaxy Z Fold 8, Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, and Galaxy Z Flip 8 are all available to pre-order, so we’ve broken down some of the best deals you can find right now. Samsung is offering $1,200 off for a limited time, but you need to trade something in.
The display crease on Samsung foldables has seemingly gone from tolerable to nearly nonexistent with the recently released Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra.
Looking back on the past few years of foldables, one of the biggest things I’ve felt Samsung’s entrants have been missing has been an anti-reflective display on the inside. Finally, that’s arriving with the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series, and the results are excellent.
Samsung’s new Galaxy Z Fold 8 series is here and, after trying both, I’m pretty conflicted. These phones really ask you what you value most out of a foldable, and I’m not sure which one I want to use long-term yet.
Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 series brings not one, but two new book-style foldables for buyers to choose from, and refreshed trade-in deals amid RAMageddon.
After months of rumors and leaks, Samsung finally unveiled its summer gadget lineup. While it’s tough to beat the overhaul that was last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7, the company’s returning to the table with two book-style foldables: a familiar-looking Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, and the short-and-stumpy Fold 8. It’s also back with two new smartwatches, plus a revised clamshell, though as you might expect, not everything has been upgraded across the board this year. Here’s what’s actually new across all five devices.
It’s happening. Samsung has officially adopted silicon-carbon batteries on its latest foldables, though you wouldn’t know that by looking at the spec sheet for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 or any other new devices.
The “Ultra” moniker is alive and well, but it now applies to the Galaxy Z Fold series. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is officially live, taking the spot as the premium option in a newly expanded lineup of foldable phones.
Samsung has officially unveiled its new Galaxy Z Fold 8, which goes beyond a generation refresh, delivering a completely new form factor in the company’s foldable lineup – one that might feel familiar to early entrants in the foldable space. And it starts at $1,899.
Today’s the day! Samsung is just hours from the launch of its Galaxy Z Fold 8 series, Galaxy Watch 9, and more, and you can tune in live to see the event.
Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 is a complete redesign with a new, wider form factor that’s going to be fascinating to see in real life. And, would you look at that, there’s the Galaxy Z Fold 8, in real life.
Whether Samsung wants detailed images of the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and 8 Ultra out there, they are. The latest leak containing marketing images leaves nothing about the short and stout Galaxy Z Fold 8 or Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra to the imagination.
It turns out the news isn’t all so bad. New reports from Samsung insiders claim the company might offer free storage upgrades for some models of the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Flip 8, but there’s a small caveat for some storage variants.
The Galaxy Z Fold 8 series will get a new foldable display architecture, Samsung admits, which will improve the phone’s resistance to developing an unsightly crease down the inner display.
