The Galaxy Z Fold8 stands out with its distinctive passport-sized design, slim build and expansive main display. It feels surprisingly manageable, while the smooth hinge and barely visible crease strengthen the experience. The cameras appear capable, although the lack of a telephoto lens and difficulty opening it one-handed are notable compromises. Even so, it feels like Samsung’s most interesting foldable in years.
