I love the Galaxy Z Fold 8. It’s a fantastic experience, with a wider cover screen and landscape-dominant inner display that’s ideal for content and multitasking. However, I understand it’s not for everyone. It’s not an inexpensive phone, and people who are paying $1,900 are going to be more demanding. The cameras aren’t flagship-level, and the form factor isn’t for everyone.
Thankfully, Motorola has the ideal alternative. Unlike the Z Fold 8 Ultra, it won’t cost you more than the Galaxy Z Fold 8, and it has many of the features buyers love if you’re sold on a more traditional book-style form factor.
I’ve used the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Motorola Razr Fold, and I know precisely which one you should buy.

Samsung nailed the Galaxy Z Fold 8, and it’s a device I’ve been waiting for a long time. I enjoy book-style foldables. It’s hard to argue with the benefits of a larger display, even if we pay quite the premium for the privilege. Still, the phones never clicked with me, and I constantly felt I was compromising. The cover screens have gotten a little wider over the years, but they can still feel a little cramped. The internal displays are expansive, but the aspect ratio isn’t quite right.
The Galaxy Z Fold 8 solves those problems. The 5.5-inch cover display is excellent. I have more than enough room to type comfortably, and I don’t feel hindered by the shorter display. Social media looks fantastic, and watching videos is enjoyable when I put the phone in tent mode, taking full advantage of the 16:10 aspect ratio.
