This is the Galaxy Z Fold 8 from

Samsung. We're here in New York for

Galaxy Unpacked and so far this thing

has been impressing me more than I

expected because it's coming with 10 new

feature changes and updates that I want

to highlight in this video to give you

guys everything you need to know. So

with that said, let's get into number

one and that is the all new compact form

factor. This thing is a lot shorter and

wider than a lot of the other foldables

that you see on the market which I have

a problem with because they're way too

tall. They're kind of bulky, hard to fit

in your pocket. This thing right here,

check it out. Easy to put into your

pocket.

Just like that. Fits nicely. It's very

easy to use in one hand thanks to this

new aspect ratio. You can easily swipe

up and access your notifications, your

control center, everything a lot easier

than you can on the taller foldables.

This is actually what it's going to be

like with Apple's upcoming iPhone Ultra

foldable. You can actually see it side

by side right here where the iPhone

Ultra is going to be more rounded. We

also brought in the Huawei Pura X Max

which you can see is going to be very

similar in terms of the design. So it's

really cool how close these actually

are. Now for the second awesome new

feature, it is the foldable display

that's on the inside. It's 7.6 inches

and it is absolutely massive and it's so

immersive especially with the 4 by 3

aspect ratio which you can also flip

vertically for a 3 by 4. This makes it

really nice

>> [music]

>> and easy to use for things like

e-readers. It's also really nice for

YouTube videos where you have this

minimal crop on the top and bottom to

get that full screen immersion. Also

very nice for wide screen games or like

Clash Royale vertical games where it

takes up the whole display. It is just

so nice [music] with this awesome

immersive huge display. Now the third

awesome thing I want to highlight is

side-by-side multitasking, which I think

is going to be a huge deal. You just

open up an app just like that. Now, you

have YouTube on the side, and you have

your web browser just like that. And the

cool thing is, unlike other phones like

the Huawei Pura X Max, you can actually

adjust the size to basically any custom

size that you want. That made it really

nice for playing a game on one side and

browsing or watching YouTube on the

other. So, like Clash Royale, it

actually doesn't really need that much

width. So, you can just make it really,

really skinny

>> [music]

>> and play like that with a larger YouTube

video on the other side. Now, it's not

only for entertainment and gaming, but

also for business use, which a lot of

people are not thinking about. Just

imagine you have your bank app on one

side, invoicing on the other, so you can

kind of see who paid, mark it off, or

you have your payroll, you have whatever

else, your notes, your business photos.

This is going to be massive for people

with small businesses, being able to

multitask so much better with those

side-by-side apps. Now, for the fourth

thing, I actually want to bring out the

Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, which is their

newer version of their tall display. You

can see it right here. And the cool

thing is that both of these this year

have much faster charging. You have 45 W

wired on both, [music]

very impressive for foldable phones like

this, but also 25 W [music]

Qi2 wireless charging. That is awesome.

The only thing is, you don't have

magnets built into the phones

themselves. So, because of that, you're

going to need a case with MagSafe built

in, like this one from our sponsor Mous.

So, because you're using MagSafe, you

have the magnets that align perfectly,

which gives you the fastest wireless

charging with MagSafe compatibility. And

the magnets also let you use all sorts

of accessories like ring grips and

[music] wallets. This case also has a

kickstand built into the back, allowing

you to view content or play games in the

horizontal position. And what makes this

case actually usable is the fact that

it's super slim and lightweight, so it

doesn't add so much bulk to your brand

new phone. And this case also protects

the hinge, which is the most fragile

part of the phone, as well as the front

display with a built-in privacy screen

protector for additional protection all

around. So, if you're getting the new Z

Fold 8 this year, definitely get this

case by using the links in the

description and pinned comment below.

Now, moving on to the fifth thing, what

really is impressing me is how thin and

light this thing is. I mean, take a look

at how razor thin it is. That is just

incredible. And as far as the weight,

only 201

g for a phone that has a 7.6-in

display on the inside. That's just crazy

because my iPhone 17 Pro Max is actually

200 and I believe 33 g, so it is heavier

than this new, much more usable Z

[music] Fold 8. Now, for the sixth

thing, what I really want to highlight

is the display, which is insanely

bright. As you can see, I have an HDR

video right here. 3,000

nits of brightness. This video, it just

looks insane. Not only that, but they've

also added their famous

anti-reflectivity layer, which you guys

know Samsung has the best

anti-reflectivity. And the thing is, the

crease on this foldable display is by

far the most minimal that I have seen so

far. I mean, we have the Huawei Pura X

Max, and the crease is definitely more

noticeable. You can feel it, you can see

it. This thing is basically almost fully

creaseless. Now, moving on to number

seven, one thing that really impressed

me was the battery life. And the cool

thing is, with the Z Fold 8, it has a

4,800

mA hour battery, which is only 200 less

than this massive Z Fold 8 Ultra, which

is also more expensive, which I'll talk

about in just a minute. So, it's awesome

that they were able to fit that nice big

battery. I mean, that's only 200 less

than the S26 Ultra, Samsung's flagship

standard phone, and that also has great

battery life. So, I'm excited to see how

good this is. Next up, for number eight,

I've got to talk about the cameras,

because on the back you have a 50 MP

main and a 50 MP

ultrawide, and we've been testing them

out. So [music] far, they look great.

And they have this really cool feature

where I can actually press this right

here, and you should now be able to see

a preview of the cover screen. So, I'm

looking at you from here, you can see

yourself. That is really cool. So, that

way you take pictures of people, they

can [music] make sure their framing is

good. There's also this really cool dual

video recording feature. Let's see if I

can get that to turn on.

All right, that is so sick. What do you

see on the front? Yeah, look at that.

You see both. And here it's actually

even better. Let me just go like this.

Look at that. When you're recording,

dual front and back [music]

on screen at once. They have this brand

new feature called fan cam, where

essentially you record somebody walking

around, and it'll automatically crop

into a subject

>> [music]

>> and move left and right for you. Now,

for number nine, we have the chips and

performance. Both of the Z Fold 8s have

the new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for

Galaxy, which is actually the same chip

that came in the Galaxy S26 Ultra

flagship. So, that was an insanely fast

chip in so many ways. We did a lot of

testing, a lot of gaming, lots of

videos, and that chip is crazy. Faster

than Apple's A19 Pro in multiple ways,

including graphics. So, [music] that's

cool that you have no sacrifice in terms

of performance in these phones. And

finally, for number 10, I've got to talk

about something that really surprised

me, and that is the pricing. Because the

Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is $2,100,

which I think makes total sense. But,

the new, very exciting, wide version,

the Z Fold 8, is actually less. [music]

It's $1,800. And the reason this is so

exciting is because

Apple's iPhone Ultra foldable is rumored

to be very expensive, between 2,000 and

2,500

dollars. So, I think they're going to

have a hard time competing with this at

only 1,800 bucks. So, with that said,

that was the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and the Z

Fold 8 Ultra. Let me know which one of

these two you actually prefer based on

your use cases and your features and

everything else down in the comment

section below, and stay tuned because

we're working on a video right after

this with the new Z Fold 8. So,

subscribe above and check out one of

those two videos right over there.

Thanks for watching, and we'll see you

in the next video.
