The Galaxy Z Fold 8 has been a resounding success for Samsung, so much so that I wouldn’t be surprised if its successor picks up better cameras and the Ultra moniker. But aside from being such a beloved phone that is converting people over to foldables, the Fold 8 is also stealing the spotlight from the Galaxy S26 Ultra and the iPhone 18 Pro Max.

I refuse to purchase the Fold 8. It has too many shortcomings for me to give Samsung the satisfaction of a purchase. Everyone who thinks it is a great phone seems to be happy with mediocre and it's telling Samsung just that.

I guess a boosted Z F8 would cost 2500 usd/eur

I have both the fold 8 and the new iPhone. As always, Samsung is a much better phone.

Samsung is high tech and most iPhone users are worried about learning something new. Samsung can do FaceTime now, so that is no longer an excuse

I was just using the Fold 8 to watch content with my little brother and it was really nice to have the big screen. Reminds me when the Ipod touch came out vs the Ipod video.
