Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Review: The Foldable That Finally Feels Ready
Samsung’s eighth Fold is thinner, brighter and better shaped for everyday use — with a usable cover screen, a wider 4:3 inner display and faster charging. Here is what it is like.
7.6″ + 5.5″inner + cover screens
4.5 mmthin when unfolded
45Wfaster wired charging
🆕 What’s new
📐
New 4:3 shape
Shorter and wider than older Folds, so videos and apps fill the big screen better and the cover screen feels like a normal phone.

The 7.6-inch inner display reaches 3,000 nits with an improved anti-glare coating — easier to use outdoors.

👍 What we like
Cover screen finally comfortable for everyday use
Wider inner screen great for videos and documents
Faster charging and bigger battery
Very thin and light for a foldable
👎 What we don’t
No telephoto camera, and the main camera drops from 200MP to 50MP
Only IP48 — be careful with dust
Still very expensive, and screen repairs are costly
Business people who read documents, spreadsheets and emails on the go.
People who want a phone and a mini-tablet in one.
Not for you if you need strong zoom photos — get the S26 Ultra instead.
⭐
askJBoss verdict: 8.5/10
Samsung’s best foldable yet. Pricey and fragile compared with normal phones, but the most useful foldable you can buy.
⚠️
Buying in Nigeria
Prices change with the dollar and between sellers. Buy from authorised dealers, ask for a receipt and warranty, and test the phone before you pay. Consider screen insurance — foldable screen repairs are expensive.
