Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 has been heavily marketed as a 'perfect' device for 'full-screen' video, but is this really the case? While the device's wider display is an improvement over past foldables, it's not without its flaws. The 4:3 aspect ratio of the inner display leaves letterboxing around virtually all video content, and the 10:16 aspect ratio of the cover screen leaves short-form videos letterboxed along the sides. Samsung's marketing pitch is stretching the truth, and the 'full-screen' talk is not fully reflective of reality. Despite this, the Fold 8 is still an improvement over past foldables, and it's not a bad device for media consumption. However, it's important to be aware of its limitations and not be misled by Samsung's marketing claims.
