Galaxy Z Fold 8: the Goldilocks foldable—buy or skip?

Galaxy Z Fold 8: the Goldilocks foldable—buy or skip?

Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 nails a pocketable, tablet-like form factor with strong performance (Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, 12–16GB RAM), a near-creaseless inner display, and handy AI features, making it a compelling all‑around foldable. Yet its cameras are just decent, there’s no S Pen, and at roughly $1,900 it’s a steep ask; if you want the best folding experience and bigger battery/camera, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is only about $200 more and arguably worth it.

Three Weeks With Galaxy Z Fold 8 Reshapes My Take

Three Weeks With Galaxy Z Fold 8 Reshapes My Take

After three weeks with the Galaxy Z Fold 8, my take has shifted: the cameras are solid and Nightography is improved over the Fold 7, though the lack of a telephoto remains an issue for some; for real zoom you might prefer the S26 Ultra or Pixel 11 Pro Fold. The hinge still limits laptop-style use (no Flex View), but the outer display and tent mode are convenient, and trade-in deals can drop the price by up to $1,000. Overall this is the best Fold yet, with a brighter main screen and lighter design that justifies the premium.

Razr Ultra 2026 Beats Galaxy Z Flip 8 in the Flip‑Phone Face‑Off

Razr Ultra 2026 Beats Galaxy Z Flip 8 in the Flip‑Phone Face‑Off

In a hands‑on comparison, the Motorola Razr Ultra (2026) edges out the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8 thanks to a larger 5,000 mAh battery with 68W charging, more RAM/storage, and stronger camera capabilities, plus a more engaging cover‑screen experience and distinctive design. Samsung counters with longer software support (seven years) and a lighter, thinner build. Although the Razr Ultra is pricier, promos can level the cost, making it the more compelling flip‑phone experience for many buyers, while the Z Flip 8 remains a solid, more affordable alternative with excellent software updates and a slimmer profile.

Oppo Find X9 Ultra's 200 MP Hasselblad Duo Falls Short on DxOMark

Oppo Find X9 Ultra's 200 MP Hasselblad Duo Falls Short on DxOMark

Even with two 200 MP Hasselblad cameras and strong color/low-noise performance in good light, the Oppo Find X9 Ultra scores 170 on DxOMark and ranks third behind Huawei Pura 80 Ultra and Vivo X300 Ultra. The camera hardware is impressive, but issues persist: no variable aperture can misfocus background objects in portraits, AI sharpening can look artificial, noise reduction struggles with backlit scenes, white balance can skew warm in low light, and telephoto performance lags behind rivals despite 10x optical zoom.

Trump Mobile T1 Review: Gold-Glazed Midrange With Tradeoffs

Trump Mobile T1 Review: Gold-Glazed Midrange With Tradeoffs

CNET’s live review of the Trump Mobile T1 finds a stock Android 15 phone with minimal bloat and two preinstalled apps (Truth Social and Doctegrity). It ships with a 6.78-inch AMOLED display, a 5,000 mAh battery and 30W charging, and an 8-core chip that benchmarks place in the midrange tier, performing behind newer rivals like Pixel 10A, iPhone 17E and Galaxy S25 FE. Real-world use is adequate for everyday tasks, but camera colors appear oversaturated and not always true-to-life, and software update longevity remains unclear. The box includes a case and charger; quirks noted include a gold shade some may dislike and a back flag with 11 stripes instead of 13.

Samsung Galaxy Foldables: New Models, Sales, and My Impressions

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is a foldable smartphone priced under $900 that offers a similar design to its predecessor with notable improvements in software and photography, but it has some drawbacks like fingerprint magnetism, warmth during use, and average battery life. It performs well in benchmarks and low-light photography, especially when discounted to around $700, making it a compelling choice over competitors like Motorola's Razr, though it feels somewhat overpriced without discounts.

Nothing Phone (3): Quirky, Playful, and the Last of Its Kind

The Nothing Phone (3) is a visually distinctive flagship-level smartphone priced at $799, featuring a transparent design, a second screen, and AI-powered features. While it offers solid hardware, including a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor and a triple 50MP camera setup, its camera quality and utility of the second screen are mixed. The device aims to compete as a premium alternative to Samsung and Apple, especially in markets like the US and Canada, but faces challenges with high pricing and mixed reactions to its design.
