The big change for the Z Fold 8 is reworked dimensions that result in a shorter but wider handset. In hand, this throwback design makes the Z Fold 8 feel more like a passport, giving you tons of room to check maps or respond to texts without ever feeling pressured to open it. But for almost everything else, the base Z Fold 8 is simply a better content consumption device. The one trade-off to this is that the Z Fold 8 can no longer maintain its position at 90 degrees for tabletop mode. Elsewhere, the Z Fold 8 features a thoroughly premium build with several titanium layers inside to increase the sturdiness and rigidity of its flexible display.
