Samsung has shared new feedback from tech creators across Southeast Asia and Oceania about the Galaxy Z Fold8. The creators tested its design, display, AI tools, and transfer features. Samsung says the Galaxy Z Fold8 weighs 201 grams. This makes it the lightest Galaxy Z Fold model so far. Reviewers highlighted its slim build and portability.

The foldable phone is designed to balance portability with durability. Samsung has introduced Flex Titanium technology to support its thinner display structure. The company also says it helps reduce crease visibility over time. Creators also tested the phone’s hinge and overall construction. YugaTech from the Philippines highlighted the sturdy hinge design. The device aims to maintain flexibility while supporting everyday use.

Galaxy Z Fold8 Offers Large-Screen experiences

The display is another major focus of the new foldable phone. Samsung says its display ratios are designed for different types of content. Users can watch videos, scroll through social media, and read e-books. The larger screen is designed to provide a more natural viewing experience. Singapore-based creator Bobby Tonelli also demonstrated these display experiences. His testing included videos, movies, and reading e-books on the device.

The large display also supports multitasking. Users can run different activities across the screen while keeping more information visible.

Galaxy AI Brings New Foldable features

Samsung has also focused on Galaxy AI with the new device. The company says its AI tools support productivity, communication, content creation, and search. One highlighted feature is Now Nudge. TechNave from Malaysia demonstrated the feature on the large foldable display. Now Nudge can recognize information shown on the screen. It can then suggest relevant actions based on what users are doing.

For example, users can keep a conversation open while checking schedules or saving a location. This allows them to continue tasks without constantly switching between screens.

Smart Switch makes device transfers easier

Samsung has also updated Smart Switch for the new foldable phone. The feature helps users move personal information from an older device. It can transfer photos, contacts, messages, settings, and other information. The system works when users move from another Galaxy device or a different smartphone brand. According to Samsung, the updated process can work wirelessly. Users can scan a QR code to begin the transfer without installing additional apps.

The transfer can include passwords, passkeys, call history, accessibility settings, and eSIM data. This is designed to reduce the manual work involved in setting up a new phone. Samsung has also integrated warranty and care options into One UI 9.0. The new hub allows users to manage Samsung Care+, warranty information, diagnostics, and repair requests.

Overall, Samsung’s latest creator feedback focuses on portability, durability, large-screen use, Galaxy AI, and easier device transfers. The company is positioning the Galaxy Z Fold8 as a foldable phone built around both productivity and everyday use.
