Galaxy Z Fold 8 & ULTRA SHOCKED Me... iPhone Has a BIG Problem!
294 segments
So, then, guys, I am here at the Samsung
preview event to see the new great
Galaxy Z Fold 8 phones. And today, one
phone I'm really in particular wants to
see was this phone here. This is the new
regular Z Fold 8. And this is designed
to be the mainstream kind of phone out
there now. This is going to be the new
mainstream foldable one. And the aspect
ratio is absolutely fantastic. This
inside screen is a 4 by 3 ratio what we
have on here. And then on the outside
screen, if I get it up and running for
you guys, well, this screen here is
actually 5.5 in big here, but then on
the inside here, we actually have the
whereabouts of a about a 7.8 in display
on the very inside, which is really
really cool. Now, the main reason why
I've been super excited with this phone
is because I do actually currently own,
say, my Galaxy Z Fold 7, which I do
love, but one of the things I'd say
about it was obviously when you're
viewing content and things like this.
Obviously, you do get big borders around
it on the large display. So, obviously,
sometimes having that bar phone, you
know, the normal kind of traditional
phone, actually, you know, still has got
its benefits there. But having it this
ratio, the 4 by 3, as you can see right
here, with watching a video on it, you
can see the big differences and the big
advantages of actually having that to
view your content. Now, the great thing
again about this phone is that obviously
you can still obviously do multitasking.
You can have two things on the screen
and a third. And the great thing that
you can also do is obviously you can
rotate it and have it in different sort
of aspect things. This is great, for
example, reading magazines or ebooks or
articles to have it in this kind of
landscape way here, portrait way, but
then switching it back to landscape for
when you're watching content and things
like this, too. It's really really
great. The also the front screen, even
though it's only a 5.5 in display, it
still actually feels really great to
use. I've been watching say reels on
this and short, and it feels fantastic
for that. Even just replying to messages
and whatnot is also super great to
actually have on this phone. Now, some
of the specs that you guys are probably
wanting to know about this phone is
obviously what's the cameras like. Well,
on the rear here, what we actually have,
we have dual 50-megapixel cameras on the
rear here. Uh so, we have an ultra-wide
and a wide one. There is a new
ultra-wide camera sensor now this time
which is actually better for low-light
photography and videos. But, obviously
for zooming and things like this, you
can go up to 10 times zoom for videos
and for photos, too. So, this actually
does really actually help out here. And
for most people out there, this is more
than enough what you need. Plus also,
the enhancer engine also does help out
with making your pictures a little bit
more crisper, too. So, that's also
another great advantage in what you have
with this phone. Now, another question
that you guys might be asking about is
what about battery life and things like
this? Well, the great thing is that
Samsung have actually said if you
actually use the outer the inner display
here, the big one, you can get up to 26
hours of viewing videos on this. What's
really impressive for this larger
display, what I'm going to say here.
Don't forget, you've got other phones
out there will only give you around
about say 27 hours, and that's on a
smaller bar size. So, for to have that
on this, it's great. And one of the main
reasons behind that is cuz we've now got
silicon batteries inside of these phones
for the first time, which is really
great. And the one we've got in this is
a 4,800
milliamp battery, which is really
helping out give us that great battery
life. That also paired along with the
Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 customized for
Galaxy. This So, this is where Qualcomm
and the likes of, you know, Samsung
Galaxy have worked together to make that
chip and enhance it and get the best
efficiencies. They've done it again here
for this phone. So, this is really great
to actually see with this phone. Now,
the other thing that you might be asking
about is what about charging and things
like this? What happens there? Well, the
great thing is this can actually do up
to 40 W charging with this. And the
great thing I also love with that is
that you can actually go from the likes
of a dead battery all the way up to the
likes of um 63% battery in 30 minutes.
So, definitely a great sort of top-up
sort of speed. There is also wireless
charging as well up to 20 W Qi 2.2. But,
also the other great thing is that there
are cases available what allow you to
kind of do that kind of MagSafe charging
if you want to do that with a case. The
magnet's not built in. And Samsung
actually told me that this is the main
reason why they don't This phone's so
thin is because obviously they actually
have put no magnets inside this. It's
more to do with the actual casing. But,
it does support Qi 2.2. Now, overall how
thin it is when you've got it like this
opened up, well, actually funny enough,
it's actually a 4.5 mm thick at this.
So, this is super thin for this phone.
And something else what's also different
this time, if you've actually had say
the Galaxy Z Fold uh 7 here, you might
have remember it was a bit hard to open
up sometimes. Well, it's kind of hard to
describe or show here, but they've
actually kind of put this kind of little
ridge inside now. So, it's far easier to
open it up now to get your finger
inside. Just these little cosmetic
little changes just make all the big
differences here. So, this is absolutely
amazing to see. Now, some of you guys
might have also been wanting to know,
"Well, what's the size difference
compared to say like Apple and their
upcoming kind of phone what's going to
come out in the future?" iPhone Ultra as
it were. Well, to be honest, there's not
much in it. And having a look a close-up
right here, you can see there's not much
in it whatsoever. This is kind of very
similar kind of phones what they're
actually coming out on this one here.
So, yeah, this is going to be really
interesting to see what the differences
is. But, one thing I would say about
this phone from Samsung is that the
actual starting price for it is actually
only 1,899
US dollars to actually buy this, which
is really great for the pricing of this
actual phone. Whereas we know that this
one is probably going to be 2,000
dollars plus actually for it. And just
in case you wanted to actually know,
yes, the actual iPhone is actually going
to be thicker than this phone. So yeah,
just be aware of that, too. So some
other quick things just to quickly
mention about is the actual display.
This is the best display that Samsung
have ever made. In fact, what you've
actually got here is a 3,000 nit
brightness and also an anti-reflective
display built into this, too. What is
really great to actually have in there.
So if it's a really bright sunny day,
you're easily going to see this. And I
love it that it's on the inside display.
That is that those specs are. Most
people say, "Oh, is that the outside
display?" Well, the outside display does
actually have that, too. But the inside
display also has that. What's absolutely
incredible
and crazy to actually have that built
for this phone. So yeah, I for one am
super excited that we've actually got
that. And the last thing I just want to
quickly mention obviously about its size
and portability. As you can see, if I
want to be a geek, I can stick it in my
pocket there and it's tiny. And also at
the same time, it is super light. Just
coming in at over 200 grams, 201 grams
for this phone. So overall, I think
Samsung have done a fantastic job with
this phone. And of course, like usual,
you do get all the usual Google AI and
Gemini functionality. It's also Samsung
AI bits and pieces, too, which is also
amazing to see. But after that, we do
also have the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra.
It's now got an Ultra name for the first
time this year. And it makes sense cuz
obviously that other, you know, other Z
Fold 8, you know, we got that as the
regular one. But what I would say with
this phone is that the great thing I
love about it is actually slightly
thinner. This is actually the thinnest
um phone that Samsung have made when
it's completely unfolded. Actually, it
comes in at 4.1 mm thick. And this is
the crazy bit. Do you remember the seven
from last year? I've still got mine.
Remember a lot of you guys complained
that it had a 4,400 mA battery? 5,000
and it's also a silicon carbon battery
this time. So, far better battery life
with this plus also the enhancements
from the latest Snapdragon, you know, 8
elites, you know, gen 5 here was also
being made with Galaxy 2. So, better on
the efficiencies and everything like
that. Battery life is going to be far
better than what you had with the seven.
I can guarantee you that right now. Just
think about I would say like the normal
S26 Ultra, the S25 Ultra, the S24 Ultra
and so on for good few years. They all
had a 5,000 mA battery inside, but yet
the battery life has got better and
better because of the efficiencies of
the chip. And it's the same thing here.
What's going to happen with this phone?
Plus a bigger battery, too. So, I for
one am super excited for it. The other
cool thing is that we've also got that
great 200-megapixel main camera sensor.
We've also got a brand new 50-megapixel
ultra-wide camera sensor this time.
Better for low-light photography, HDR,
all of that great stuff. And also we got
a 10-megapixel zoom capability as well.
And we get some great zooming as you can
see with this camera, too. So, this is
definitely for most people out there who
want a performance kind of sort of
phone, this is more than enough what
you're going to get there. Now again,
just like the other Z Fold 8, you do get
that 3,000 nits brightness on the inside
display and also the outside display.
Again with that anti-reflective coat
again. So, this is really awesome to
see. And again for charging speeds, you
know how I told you about the other one
how fast it was, it's the same. You can
actually get to 63% battery now with
just basically charging it up and it
will just go to that in 30 minutes.
What's absolutely extraordinary for what
you're getting with this phone here. So,
I for one am a massive fan of this phone
and of course I'm a massive fan. I'm
going to say I love this one. For me, I
do love the Ultra and obviously I've had
the Galaxy Z Fold 7 for the last year
and I loved it, but this is the one I've
been looking forward to to getting my
hands on and I cannot wait to get my
hands on and do a full on review with
you guys with these phones. But, yeah, I
am super excited. So, yeah, make sure
that you definitely check out um
obviously more content what's coming
soon to this channel. And if you want to
