Even though the Galaxy Fold8 is far from the first widebody to wade into these waters, it is the first of a new wave of foldables – and for now, it’s also the best. I’m MrMobile and this is my next … nearly-$2000 phone! [ABOUT MRMOBILE'S GALAXY FOLD8 REVIEW] This video was produced following nine days months with a Galaxy Fold8 review sample provided by Samsung. Pre-production hardware running pre-release software. Tested on T-Mobile in New York City and London. Samsung provided travel and lodging for MrMobile to attend the Galaxy Fold8 launch event in London. However, MrMobile does not offer manufacturers the opportunity to preview, edit or approve content before publication. Neither Samsung nor any other manufacturer provided compensation in exchange for this coverage. The lone sponsor of this video is dbrand.

This video should have been shot in 4:3 to be cheeky.
The uniform squared off look makes this work so well visually, the weird half curve edge and flat edge spine of other passport folds like Googles never did look good.
That reenactment of the phone falling to ground had me shivering because of the realism. You have to stop making it look so real.
THANK YOU FOR CALLING OUT THE INNER CAMERA. That hole punch has stuck like a sore thumb in every picture of the phone I’ve seen. The corner camera is definitely the move.
just want to say that i’ve watched every video you’ve made on this channel since launching, what, 6 years ago now?? you’ve never lost your touch, and you’re still by far the best tech reviewer on Youtube. appreciate the years of great content.
For that price you should never have to deal with "lack" of anything.
8:26 peak cinema 😂
1:09, shout out to the incredible Blackberry Passport
Got to try this in a Samsung shop the other day, I don’t know how it’ll work in a pocket but god damn it feels good to use

But, no stereo speakers in landscape mode...
No b-roll shot playing classic Trek in 4:3?
1:33 that's what I've been saying! If you cut the bezels and buttons, you get the OG Galaxy Note, modernized. People forget so quickly...
Great video. One thing you didn't mention is that when the phone is unfolded in landscape, the speakers are directly above and below, so there's no stereo effect.
This is so tempting, the first foldable I can actually see myself using, but 2000 in this economy is just nuts!
6:54 you're the first person I've heard even mention this. That's really disappointing because when i had my fold, that was one of its best features
As an app developer this squatty form factor is making one of my screens a real pain to lay out. The screen is basically a dashboard that requires lots of into visible without ANY scrolling. But anticipating this form factor to eventually be very popular once Apple releases their foldable, I may as well get my update published!
Pro tip. Hold the enter/search key to switch to one hand mode.
I'd love a non-folding version of this phone for like 1/3 the price.
1:56 Tip for you, long press enter for a sec then let go. Keyboard will switch to one hand mode, no need search through options.
