Galaxy Z Fold 8 vs Galaxy Z Fold 7
Which one shows video bigger? Drawn to physical scale.
For 16:9 video, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 shows a picture about 7.0″ across and the Galaxy Z Fold 7 about 6.8″ — practically the same size.
The Z Fold 8’s screen is smaller on paper, 7.6″ against 8.0″, yet video is no smaller on it: 16:9 plays at about 7.0″ versus 6.8″ on the Z Fold 7, practically a tie, because Samsung swapped a nearly square panel for a wider 4:3 one. The Fold 7’s squarer screen still clearly wins for 1:1 content, with about 1.4× the area.
