The reason many users prioritize choosing Galaxy Z8 Series

(Dan Tri) - The folding phone market is having more options, but specifications are not the deciding factor in the experience. For three Galaxy Z8 Series users, the thin and light design, AI support for Vietnamese and the diversity of new designs are notable differences.

For people who work all day, the lighter the phone, the more convenient it is

As a dentist and running a clinic in Hanoi, Mr. Vu Trung Kien has been attached to the Galaxy Z Fold line since Fold4. The large screen helps him replace the process of taking photos with a camera, transferring it to a laptop, then presenting it on TV with a camera device and opening it right on the phone to advise customers.

With the frequency of constantly using the phone at work, thin and light design became one of the criteria Mr. Kien was most interested in when choosing the next generation. He said he also considered other folding phone models on the market, but after directly experiencing the Galaxy Z Fold8, the weight of 201g was one of the factors that made him decide to choose the Fold series.

This weight also helps the Galaxy Z Fold8 make a difference when some other large-screen folding phones on the market still weigh over 250g. Despite the weight reduction, the device still has a large 7.6-inch screen for support, while the battery is increased to 4,800 mAh and supports 45W fast charging.

The large screen becomes more useful when accompanied by a Vietnamese AI assistant

For reviewer Dang Nam Hai Trieu, Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra was chosen because of another advantage: the ability to combine a large screen with Galaxy AI that supports Vietnamese. Content creation requires him to often search for information, read documents, create scripts, and communicate with AI tools, so being able to perform multiple tasks at the same time right on his phone makes a clear difference.

"Fold's large screen is very suitable for working with AI. I can open a document or script on one side, hold the AI ​​assistant on the other side and communicate directly in Vietnamese without having to constantly switch back and forth between applications. When AI understands the language I use every day, it becomes easier to become a part of my work," Hai Trieu shared.

The ability to support Vietnamese becomes an advantage. The large screen on the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra can therefore be used to place work and AI assistants side by side, suitable for tasks that require continuous reference, synthesis and processing of information.

With Hai Trieu, Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra also impresses when it puts a three-camera system, including a 200MP main camera, 50MP ultra-wide angle and a dedicated telephoto camera, into a body that is only 4.1mm thin when opened and 215g light.

Flex Mode supports recording at multiple angles without the need for a tripod, while Galaxy AI features such as My FanCam (Automatic framing of subjects), Audio Eraser (Noise removal) or Generative Edit (Generative image editing) support the post-production process. Thanks to that, the process from recording to editing and completing content can be done seamlessly right on one device.

From Fold to Flip: Each need has a different choice

Another advantage of the Galaxy Z8 Series lies in the variety of options. Besides the Galaxy Z Fold8 and Fold8 Ultra for those who want to expand their display space, Samsung also has the Galaxy Z Flip8, which keeps the experience of a regular phone when opened, but becomes more compact when folded.

That is also the reason why Thanh Huyen decided to switch from another ecosystem to Galaxy Z Flip8. As one of the customers who received the phone on the first day of sale, Huyen said the brand she used did not have a similar vertical folding phone option. She chose this device because of Flip8's compact, fashionable design and the ability to quickly view and process information right on the FlexWindow external screen.

Huyen is also part of a new group of users looking for Samsung folding phones from other ecosystems. According to data from Samsung, for every 10 people who own a new folding screen device, 3 people actively switch to another ecosystem.

This difference also shows that folding phones do not necessarily follow a formula. While many options on the market focus on horizontal folding designs to expand the screen, Samsung offers both approaches: the Fold line for those who need more display space and the Flip line for those who prioritize compactness.

Users can therefore choose a folding phone that suits their needs and habits, instead of having to adapt to a design style.
