The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 is being discussed for its new, wider form factor, which reviewers find surprisingly comfortable and intuitive. This new design is seen as a significant departure from previous iterations and may influence other manufacturers.
“This is the new wide passport shaped foldable phone.”
“Almost everyone I know or have seen or have watched or have listened to who has even held the thing had a really positive reaction to it.”
“And then I picked it up and like you said, you just kind of go, oh, that kind of works.”
“It's 4 by 3 on the inside, which is pretty much the shape of an iPad.”
