00:00This is the brand new Galaxy Z Fold 8, and yes, it's shorter, wider, and really an entirely
00:04different device to Samsung's previous book-style foldables. With a 5.5-inch cover display and a
00:097.6-inch main display, the Z Fold 8 is designed to be easier to use when closed and better
00:13suited
00:14to watching videos when open. That's because when closed, you're getting a 4x3 aspect ratio in
00:18landscape and a 3x4 ratio in portrait, and when open, it's a 10x16 ratio that's optimised for
00:23widescreen content. The Z Fold 8 is still as powerful as any other Samsung phone though,
00:28with a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset under the hood and 12GB of RAM in every storage
00:32configuration except for 1TB, which will get you 16GB of RAM. As for cameras, the Z Fold 8 packs a
00:3850MP wide and a 50MP ultra-wide, and this is the first real difference between it and the pricier,
00:43more conventional-looking Z Fold 8 Ultra. That taller and narrower phone has a 200MP wide camera,
00:49a 50MP ultra-wide, and a 10MP telephoto, so the Ultra is the model to go for if you're after
00:54an
00:54ultra-level camera experience. The Z Fold 8 Ultra also has a slightly larger battery than the Z Fold
00:598, but both phones finally use silicon carbon battery technology, so you'll still get plenty
01:03of life from the smaller model's 4,800mAh cell. You'll get 45W wide charging and 20W wireless
01:09charging, regardless of which model you choose, so the choice here is really between content and
01:13cameras. Would you prefer the wider Z Fold 8 for scrolling and watching videos, or the taller
01:17Z Fold 8 Ultra for productivity and taking photos? Let us know in the comments below.
