I've finally got it and I must say, the Galaxy Z Fold8 is the best phone I've ever had. At first, I was a little worried about its width, especially after switching from the Flip 7 which I was using before. But in the end, it turned out that this is exactly what I was missing with the Flip. In contrast, I found the previous Folds to be unnecessarily tall. For me, the Fold8 finally has the ideal dimensions. The biggest advantage is, of course, the large inner display. When I just need to quickly reply to a message or find something on the internet, I use the front display. But as soon as I want to watch a video, read articles, or work with multiple apps at once, I simply open the phone and the difference is truly enormous. Multitasking works brilliantly and is one of the things that makes a folding phone actually make sense. I was also pleasantly surprised by the build quality. The phone is thinner and lighter than I expected, so it's comfortable to carry even in a pocket. The hinge feels solid and the opening action is nice and smooth. The crease on the display is still a bit visible, but in normal use, I completely stopped noticing it. The performance is faultless. Everything is fast, apps launch instantly, and I haven't encountered any lagging, even when playing games or using multiple apps at once. Plus, the One UI interface is well-adapted for folding phones, so everything works exactly as it should. It's just that some apps aren't fully optimised yet. The camera takes very nice photos. During the day, the photos are sharp with lovely colours, and the phone holds its own in the evening too. If someone is looking for the absolute best camera phone on the market, they might go for the Ultra series, but for everyday photography, the quality is more than sufficient. The battery easily lasted me a full day with normal use. The charging could be a bit faster, but it's not something that limits me in my daily life. The only thing that might put a lot of people off is the price. It's a really expensive phone, and you have to think carefully about whether you will actually make use of the folding design. If you will, I think the investment is worth it. After switching to the Fold8, regular phones seem unnecessarily small and, most importantly, less practical. Overall, I'm really happy with the phone. It offers a great display, high performance, quality build, and features you just won't find on a regular phone. If you're looking for something other than a standard slab and don't mind the higher price, I can recommend the Galaxy Z Fold8 with a clear conscience.
