So, then, guys, I am here at the Samsung

0:02

preview event to see the new great

0:05

Galaxy Z Fold 8 phones. And today, one

0:09

phone I'm really in particular wants to

0:11

see was this phone here. This is the new

0:13

regular Z Fold 8. And this is designed

0:17

to be the mainstream kind of phone out

0:20

there now. This is going to be the new

0:21

mainstream foldable one. And the aspect

0:23

ratio is absolutely fantastic. This

0:26

inside screen is a 4 by 3 ratio what we

0:29

have on here. And then on the outside

0:31

screen, if I get it up and running for

0:33

you guys, well, this screen here is

0:35

actually 5.5 in big here, but then on

0:39

the inside here, we actually have the

0:41

whereabouts of a about a 7.8 in display

0:44

on the very inside, which is really

0:46

really cool. Now, the main reason why

0:48

I've been super excited with this phone

0:49

is because I do actually currently own,

0:51

say, my Galaxy Z Fold 7, which I do

0:54

love, but one of the things I'd say

0:56

about it was obviously when you're

0:57

viewing content and things like this.

0:59

Obviously, you do get big borders around

1:01

it on the large display. So, obviously,

1:03

sometimes having that bar phone, you

1:04

know, the normal kind of traditional

1:06

phone, actually, you know, still has got

1:08

its benefits there. But having it this

1:10

ratio, the 4 by 3, as you can see right

1:12

here, with watching a video on it, you

1:14

can see the big differences and the big

1:17

advantages of actually having that to

1:20

view your content. Now, the great thing

1:22

again about this phone is that obviously

1:24

you can still obviously do multitasking.

1:26

You can have two things on the screen

1:28

and a third. And the great thing that

1:30

you can also do is obviously you can

1:31

rotate it and have it in different sort

1:34

of aspect things. This is great, for

1:35

example, reading magazines or ebooks or

1:38

articles to have it in this kind of

1:39

landscape way here, portrait way, but

1:42

then switching it back to landscape for

1:44

when you're watching content and things

1:45

like this, too. It's really really

1:47

great. The also the front screen, even

1:49

though it's only a 5.5 in display, it

1:51

still actually feels really great to

1:53

use. I've been watching say reels on

1:55

this and short, and it feels fantastic

1:57

for that. Even just replying to messages

1:59

and whatnot is also super great to

2:02

actually have on this phone. Now, some

2:05

of the specs that you guys are probably

2:06

wanting to know about this phone is

2:07

obviously what's the cameras like. Well,

2:09

on the rear here, what we actually have,

2:11

we have dual 50-megapixel cameras on the

2:14

rear here. Uh so, we have an ultra-wide

2:16

and a wide one. There is a new

2:18

ultra-wide camera sensor now this time

2:20

which is actually better for low-light

2:21

photography and videos. But, obviously

2:23

for zooming and things like this, you

2:25

can go up to 10 times zoom for videos

2:27

and for photos, too. So, this actually

2:29

does really actually help out here. And

2:31

for most people out there, this is more

2:33

than enough what you need. Plus also,

2:35

the enhancer engine also does help out

2:37

with making your pictures a little bit

2:39

more crisper, too. So, that's also

2:41

another great advantage in what you have

2:44

with this phone. Now, another question

2:46

that you guys might be asking about is

2:47

what about battery life and things like

2:49

this? Well, the great thing is that

2:51

Samsung have actually said if you

2:52

actually use the outer the inner display

2:54

here, the big one, you can get up to 26

2:58

hours of viewing videos on this. What's

3:01

really impressive for this larger

3:02

display, what I'm going to say here.

3:05

Don't forget, you've got other phones

3:06

out there will only give you around

3:08

about say 27 hours, and that's on a

3:10

smaller bar size. So, for to have that

3:12

on this, it's great. And one of the main

3:13

reasons behind that is cuz we've now got

3:15

silicon batteries inside of these phones

3:17

for the first time, which is really

3:18

great. And the one we've got in this is

3:20

a 4,800

3:22

milliamp battery, which is really

3:24

helping out give us that great battery

3:26

life. That also paired along with the

3:29

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 customized for

3:33

Galaxy. This So, this is where Qualcomm

3:35

and the likes of, you know, Samsung

3:37

Galaxy have worked together to make that

3:39

chip and enhance it and get the best

3:41

efficiencies. They've done it again here

3:43

for this phone. So, this is really great

3:46

to actually see with this phone. Now,

3:49

the other thing that you might be asking

3:50

about is what about charging and things

3:52

like this? What happens there? Well, the

3:54

great thing is this can actually do up

3:55

to 40 W charging with this. And the

3:58

great thing I also love with that is

3:59

that you can actually go from the likes

4:02

of a dead battery all the way up to the

4:04

likes of um 63% battery in 30 minutes.

4:09

So, definitely a great sort of top-up

4:11

sort of speed. There is also wireless

4:13

charging as well up to 20 W Qi 2.2. But,

4:16

also the other great thing is that there

4:18

are cases available what allow you to

4:20

kind of do that kind of MagSafe charging

4:22

if you want to do that with a case. The

4:23

magnet's not built in. And Samsung

4:25

actually told me that this is the main

4:26

reason why they don't This phone's so

4:28

thin is because obviously they actually

4:30

have put no magnets inside this. It's

4:33

more to do with the actual casing. But,

4:34

it does support Qi 2.2. Now, overall how

4:37

thin it is when you've got it like this

4:40

opened up, well, actually funny enough,

4:41

it's actually a 4.5 mm thick at this.

4:45

So, this is super thin for this phone.

4:49

And something else what's also different

4:50

this time, if you've actually had say

4:51

the Galaxy Z Fold uh 7 here, you might

4:54

have remember it was a bit hard to open

4:56

up sometimes. Well, it's kind of hard to

4:58

describe or show here, but they've

5:00

actually kind of put this kind of little

5:01

ridge inside now. So, it's far easier to

5:04

open it up now to get your finger

5:05

inside. Just these little cosmetic

5:07

little changes just make all the big

5:09

differences here. So, this is absolutely

5:11

amazing to see. Now, some of you guys

5:14

might have also been wanting to know,

5:15

"Well, what's the size difference

5:16

compared to say like Apple and their

5:18

upcoming kind of phone what's going to

5:19

come out in the future?" iPhone Ultra as

5:21

it were. Well, to be honest, there's not

5:23

much in it. And having a look a close-up

5:25

right here, you can see there's not much

5:27

in it whatsoever. This is kind of very

5:29

similar kind of phones what they're

5:30

actually coming out on this one here.

5:32

So, yeah, this is going to be really

5:34

interesting to see what the differences

5:36

is. But, one thing I would say about

5:38

this phone from Samsung is that the

5:40

actual starting price for it is actually

5:43

only 1,899

5:46

US dollars to actually buy this, which

5:48

is really great for the pricing of this

5:51

actual phone. Whereas we know that this

5:54

one is probably going to be 2,000

5:55

dollars plus actually for it. And just

5:58

in case you wanted to actually know,

6:00

yes, the actual iPhone is actually going

6:02

to be thicker than this phone. So yeah,

6:04

just be aware of that, too. So some

6:07

other quick things just to quickly

6:08

mention about is the actual display.

6:10

This is the best display that Samsung

6:12

have ever made. In fact, what you've

6:14

actually got here is a 3,000 nit

6:17

brightness and also an anti-reflective

6:20

display built into this, too. What is

6:22

really great to actually have in there.

6:25

So if it's a really bright sunny day,

6:27

you're easily going to see this. And I

6:29

love it that it's on the inside display.

6:31

That is that those specs are. Most

6:33

people say, "Oh, is that the outside

6:34

display?" Well, the outside display does

6:35

actually have that, too. But the inside

6:37

display also has that. What's absolutely

6:40

incredible

6:42

and crazy to actually have that built

6:44

for this phone. So yeah, I for one am

6:47

super excited that we've actually got

6:49

that. And the last thing I just want to

6:50

quickly mention obviously about its size

6:52

and portability. As you can see, if I

6:53

want to be a geek, I can stick it in my

6:55

pocket there and it's tiny. And also at

6:58

the same time, it is super light. Just

7:00

coming in at over 200 grams, 201 grams

7:03

for this phone. So overall, I think

7:05

Samsung have done a fantastic job with

7:08

this phone. And of course, like usual,

7:10

you do get all the usual Google AI and

7:13

Gemini functionality. It's also Samsung

7:15

AI bits and pieces, too, which is also

7:18

amazing to see. But after that, we do

7:21

also have the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra.

7:25

It's now got an Ultra name for the first

7:26

time this year. And it makes sense cuz

7:28

obviously that other, you know, other Z

7:31

Fold 8, you know, we got that as the

7:32

regular one. But what I would say with

7:34

this phone is that the great thing I

7:36

love about it is actually slightly

7:38

thinner. This is actually the thinnest

7:41

um phone that Samsung have made when

7:43

it's completely unfolded. Actually, it

7:44

comes in at 4.1 mm thick. And this is

7:48

the crazy bit. Do you remember the seven

7:50

from last year? I've still got mine.

7:52

Remember a lot of you guys complained

7:54

that it had a 4,400 mA battery? 5,000

7:58

and it's also a silicon carbon battery

8:00

this time. So, far better battery life

8:04

with this plus also the enhancements

8:06

from the latest Snapdragon, you know, 8

8:10

elites, you know, gen 5 here was also

8:12

being made with Galaxy 2. So, better on

8:15

the efficiencies and everything like

8:16

that. Battery life is going to be far

8:18

better than what you had with the seven.

8:20

I can guarantee you that right now. Just

8:23

think about I would say like the normal

8:25

S26 Ultra, the S25 Ultra, the S24 Ultra

8:28

and so on for good few years. They all

8:30

had a 5,000 mA battery inside, but yet

8:34

the battery life has got better and

8:35

better because of the efficiencies of

8:37

the chip. And it's the same thing here.

8:40

What's going to happen with this phone?

8:41

Plus a bigger battery, too. So, I for

8:43

one am super excited for it. The other

8:46

cool thing is that we've also got that

8:48

great 200-megapixel main camera sensor.

8:51

We've also got a brand new 50-megapixel

8:55

ultra-wide camera sensor this time.

8:57

Better for low-light photography, HDR,

9:00

all of that great stuff. And also we got

9:01

a 10-megapixel zoom capability as well.

9:05

And we get some great zooming as you can

9:06

see with this camera, too. So, this is

9:09

definitely for most people out there who

9:11

want a performance kind of sort of

9:12

phone, this is more than enough what

9:14

you're going to get there. Now again,

9:16

just like the other Z Fold 8, you do get

9:20

that 3,000 nits brightness on the inside

9:23

display and also the outside display.

9:25

Again with that anti-reflective coat

9:27

again. So, this is really awesome to

9:30

see. And again for charging speeds, you

9:32

know how I told you about the other one

9:34

how fast it was, it's the same. You can

9:36

actually get to 63% battery now with

9:39

just basically charging it up and it

9:41

will just go to that in 30 minutes.

9:44

What's absolutely extraordinary for what

9:46

you're getting with this phone here. So,

9:48

I for one am a massive fan of this phone

9:51

and of course I'm a massive fan. I'm

9:53

going to say I love this one. For me, I

9:55

do love the Ultra and obviously I've had

9:57

the Galaxy Z Fold 7 for the last year

9:59

and I loved it, but this is the one I've

10:01

been looking forward to to getting my

10:03

hands on and I cannot wait to get my

10:04

hands on and do a full on review with

10:06

you guys with these phones. But, yeah, I

10:08

am super excited. So, yeah, make sure

10:11

that you definitely check out um

10:13
