Top points I'm most impressed with on the Galaxy Z Fold8: The new screen ratio is so cool

Hello everyone, after many days of waiting, I quickly got my hands on the standard version of the Galaxy Z Fold8. Over the past few years, Samsung's Fold line has clearly shaped its position, but to be honest, sometimes I still hear many people complaining about the weight or the slightly long external screen ratio.

This time holding the Z Fold8 directly in my hand, I realized many landmark changes from the design language to the display ratio. Samsung has renewed this standard Fold line to create a clear difference compared to the Ultra or Flip line, giving me a very technological and extremely exciting feeling. After a quick experience, here are the top 3 points that I find most impressive on this new generation folding machine.

Samsung's lightest large-sized folding phone, you can hold it in one hand without worrying about fatigue

The first thing that catches my eye and touches my hand is the weight and feeling of holding. To be honest, one of the reasons why many people were afraid to use large folding phones in the past was that they felt a bit heavy, and holding them for a long time was tiring. But with the Galaxy Z Fold8, Samsung has optimized extremely well to make this the lightest version of the Galaxy Fold ever, only 201 grams, exactly the same as a bar phone.

My first feeling when I picked up the phone was surprise because it was light and the size looked very cute, unlike my imagination based on previous rumors. When I folded the device and held it with one hand, I clearly felt its neatness and lightness.

The experience of surfing the web or checking information quickly with one hand is extremely comfortable, pleasant and completely fatigue-free after long periods of use. This lightness clearly increases the value for those who use the phone continuously every day. One-handed Twitter is fine, but if it's a normal ratio, it will be a bit long to reach up.

New screen ratio 16:10 and 4:3, watching movies or working is extremely enjoyable

The selling point and what makes me most excited about the Galaxy Z Fold8 is the change in display ratio. The device's external screen now uses a 16:10 ratio. From my personal perspective, this ratio helps the external screen look more balanced. The wider width helps me type on the virtual keyboard extremely easily, with fewer mistypes compared to previous generations of too vertical screens.

When you turn the device vertically, the screen will switch to the standard 3:4 ratio for reading books, viewing documents, browsing spreadsheet files or surfing social networks. All content is displayed edge-to-edge, clear, and provides a seamless experience from the external screen to the internal screen without requiring you to spend time adapting.

This screen also supports a maximum brightness of up to 3,000 nits, combined with advanced anti-glare and glare reduction coating. When I stood right under the studio light shining directly on the glass, the screen still eliminated reflections extremely well, helping me watch the content clearly, without glare or eye strain.

Galaxy AI is newer with MyFanCam and Photo Assist prompt suggestions

Besides the hardware, the smart features on the Z Fold8 also have great space thanks to the large screen space. The feature that makes me excited is MyFanCam, probably called focus cam more accurately, similar to what big entertainment programs often have. Imagine when you go to see a performance or a group of friends are dancing and you only want to focus on one person. I just need to record and then edit, the machine's AI will automatically track, recognize the behavior of the person I want to focus on and export a separate video focusing on that character with standard ratios like 16:9 (or other selected ratio) to post on social networks without needing to crop or edit anything manually.

The photo editing experience with Photo Assist has also been significantly upgraded. The AI ​​on the device is so smart that it automatically recognizes the context of the photo to proactively suggest appropriate editing commands. I just need to hold down the suggestion, the AI ​​will automatically give options such as changing the close-up portrait angle, changing the character's outfit or editing the background quickly without having to touch complex Photoshop tools.

Powerful configuration with Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy

In terms of configuration, the Galaxy Z Fold8 is operated by the latest generation of Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processors on the 3nm process, so I have quite a lot of expectations about these Z Folds.

Basically, this chip possesses the Oryon CPU architecture with 8 cores, including 2 super-performance cores clocked at up to 4.7 GHz to handle heavy tasks, combined with 6 high-performance cores to help operate multitasking tasks smoothly. Thanks to optimized architecture, the overall power consumption of the chip has been reduced by up to 16% compared to the previous generation, helping the machine operate cool.

The new generation NPU core combined with the Qualcomm Sensing Hub sensor helps remember user habits, allowing all complex AI tasks to be processed directly on the device's memory (On-device) extremely fast without sending data to the cloud, ensuring absolute privacy.

In short...

This year's Galaxy Z Fold8 standard version really gives me a very technological feeling and gives me a feeling of excitement about something new. Changing the display ratio to be more reasonable, reducing the weight to the lightest level for comfortable holding with one hand, combined with practical AI features such as MyFanCam or Photo Assist are clearly huge plus points.

This is definitely an extremely new folding screen device for those who like a thin and light device, optimized for both entertainment needs of watching movies, watching videos and handling daily work. What do you think about the screen ratio and new upgrades on the Z Fold8? Take care...
