A GSMArena reader poll found the Galaxy Z Fold8 was the most appealing of Samsung's new foldables, with most respondents also calling the range expensive. The Fold8 starts at $1,900 for 256GB, the Z Fold8 Ultra at $2,100, and the Z Flip8 at $1,200. GSMArena's own review praised the Fold8's shorter, wider design, its 4:3 inner display, slim build, polished software and Samsung DeX support for laptop-style use, while criticising the absence of a telephoto camera sensor and calling the battery on the smaller side. The outlet said prices should come down in the coming months, as with past Samsung flagship launches, but that the current memory chip crunch is not going away anytime soon.

The figures here, a reader poll plus one outlet's own review verdict, do not amount to independent corroboration from a second outlet. GSMArena's preference for the Fold8 reflects its reviewers' judgement rather than a market-wide consensus, and the camera and battery criticisms should be read as one outlet's assessment pending wider reviews. GSMArena expects prices to come down in the coming months, and the Fold8's $1,900 starting price is the figure that move would have to shift.
