Samsung’s latest blowout Unpacked event was the most honestly exciting event the company’s put on in years—for good reason. The new squat Galaxy Z Fold 8’s form factor seems like the right move for foldable phones. And it’s good news for Apple fans that its next device is going to look, function, and cost similar to what Samsung showed us on Wednesday. The eighth-generation Galaxy Z Fold is, based on Gizmodo’s limited hands-on experience with the phone, the best it’s ever been. Samsung has finally managed to eliminate most of the crease in the center of the folding display. The company promises this display is also more rigid and durable than past generations of foldables. Better yet, the $1,900 Galaxy Z Fold 8’s 4:3 aspect ratio for both the external and internal display makes watching videos and playing games feel that much more natural, with slimmer black bars of the long-maligned “letterboxing” effect finally feeling like less of an issue. Despite sporting lower specs than the $2,100 Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra—a device made explicitly for power users—the squatty Galaxy Z Fold 8 seems more enticing for the everyday phone buyer. That’s good news for Apple, since a mountain of rumors suggests we’ll see a squat, book-style foldable iPhone in September alongside the inevitable iPhone 18 Pro. Early dummy units of the device show it has a form factor that unfolds close to the size of an iPad mini.
