Community Reviews
The Fold8 deal is strongest for buyers stacking trade in, education, PayPal100, and AMEX credits, with some checkout totals landing well under the sticker price. The wider Fold8 feels lighter and more pocket friendly than the Fold 6, and the 512GB upgrade is often framed as the smarter move for only $100 more. The main knocks are the missing telephoto lens, the lower camera spec versus the Ultra, and the narrow cover screen that some find awkward. A few also flag pricey storage jumps and accessory add ons, so the value depends heavily on which discounts actually apply.
Foldable phone upgraders trading a recent Samsung model, because the trade-in value can cut the price sharply and still leave room for extra storage.
Shoppers stacking multiple Samsung discounts, because PayPal, education, AMEX, and trade-in credits can combine into a much lower out-the-door total.
Phone photographers who rely on telephoto zoom, because this model's camera tops out around 1x-2x and lacks the longer zoom they want.
Buyers expecting a long-lasting foldable, because inner-screen failures, hinge issues, and screen-cover wear have shown up after about two years.
Mobile photographers who need a telephoto lens, because the camera setup lacks one and zoom-heavy shooting feels limiting.
People who want a narrow, easy-to-hold foldable, because the wider body feels less comfortable and the cover screen is slimmer.

Note 10+, Note 20Ultra ZFold 4/7.
None have leaked. My Z Fold 4 is 4 years old.
1TB and it is flawless. Come again?
After around two years?, I had the inner screen protector come up in the middle on the crease on the (pre-owned) Fold 4, and it cost around $80 or so for a new inner screen protector at UbreakWeFix or whatever they are called.
My (certified eBay refurb) Fold 6 did start flashing green on the left half of the inner screen, and that screen was replaced via AllState warranty.
