Samsung's new passport-style foldable is priced at a whopping $1,900, which coincidentally is about the same price as getting a real passport and buying a round-trip ticket to anywhere you want to go in the world. You could either touch dirt on another continent or, you know, get the latest and greatest social media scrolling machine ever invented. Decisions, decisions.

Immediately, I can see why everyone loves this thing. 5.5 inches is really the perfect size.

Inside the box, we get a SIM card removal tool and one single USB-C charging cable. It's finally time to see how Samsung's lightest fold ever weathers my JerryRigEverything durability test.

Right off the bat, though, we are not off to a great start since even with its new titanium screen, we get the same laundry list of warnings as the previous eight generations of folding phones. Like, don't press on the inner screen with your fingernails.

Don't fold the phone with anything inside. The phone is not dust resistant. Don't let it get immersed in salt water. And don't remove the inner protective screen. And lastly, keep it away from implanted medical devices. RIP to whoever's grandma learned that one the hard way.

The cool thing about having a wider screen is that now there's even more room to run multiple apps at the same time. Up to three, actually. A manager for your apps. Manage twap. Sorry.

When the exterior screen is flat on its back, it's about as stable as Bitcoin.

And its 10x6 aspect ratio would probably make it Christopher Nolan's favorite smartphone if he ever used one. Nolan says he would be too addicted to a smartphone if he ever used one, and he's definitely not wrong. Someone needs to take one for the team and see if getting rid of your smartphone really does bring happiness.

Until then though, the exterior screen is made with Gorilla Glass Ceramic 3 and scratches at a level six with deeper grooves at a level seven. Incredibly, the average American checks their phone 200 times a day. And if for even half of those glances you pop open into the center screen, on paper, it theoretically would last about a decade since it's already been tested to 500,000 folds in a laboratory—as long as, of course, the inner screen doesn't come in contact with anything harder than your fingernail. Since Samsung's flexible folding screens still scratch at a level two, and spoiler alert, Apple will probably have the same issue with their folding screen when it drops, you can hit that subscribe button to see how right I am here in a few months.

Supposedly, there is a titanium substrate underneath these pixels, but that doesn't change the fact that the permanent plastic layer on top is still plastic. As you can see, the Fold 8 receives damage through coins, keys, and even grappling hooks. Luckily, Samsung does offer one free inner screen protector replacement within the first 12 months, and subsequent plastic layer replacements only cost 19 bucks, so the marks on the inner screen aren't as bad as they look from a financial perspective. But since the phone does cost more than my first car, protection is still always a good thing.

My channel sponsor dbrand says their foolproof Prism screen protector is foolproof, and there's two in the box for good measure. As you can see, my Fold 8 has some dust on the glass. So, I'll use the wet wipe to clean the screen. And the applicator positions the layer of glass protection right over the screen. And with one pull, one stroke, the glass is installed perfectly. My $2,000 phone just got protection in 2 seconds. And it's real glass. Link is down in the description.

Now, even though Samsung used the buzzword titanium for the inner flexible screen for no reason, here on the outside frame, it's most definitely still Armor Aluminum. The fingerprint-scanning power button is not removable, but the metal volume rocker most definitely still is. Pretty typical for Samsung to have the buttons be removable. I'll just pop that back into place.

Making our way to the top edge, we can see two noise-canceling microphones and the loudspeaker, as well as our SIM card tray, which does not have expandable memory, but does have a gray rubber ring to assist with the IP48 water resistance rating, which is good to know. We'll test that dust protection here in a second. Down at the bottom, we have our second stereo loudspeaker and 45-watt USB-C 3.2 port.

The 10-megapixel front-facing inner screen selfie camera is protected by that same plastic layer as the rest of the inner screen. So careful with that. It is a hole-punch camera and not a hidden camera like it was on the Fold 3, 4, 5, and 6. The exterior selfie camera is also 10 megapixels and not hidden, but it is protected with glass.

Making our way to the back, we see our 50-megapixel ultrawide camera up top and 50-megapixel main camera right below that sitting on a plastic plateau, which, correct me if I'm wrong, is a first for Samsung. Usually, this plateau is made from metal. The back panel is still made from glass. Coming back up to the camera lenses, seeing plastic on a folding phone is kind of wild. The little ring surrounding the camera lenses is still made from metal and is actually pretty easy to leverage off. It for sure won't be falling off on its own, but it is good to know that if you ever crack your camera lens, it's very easy to replace the whole thing.

The only thing I would worry about with lens replacements though is if the seal was still tight, since any dust getting down inside of that camera unit would kill the optical image stabilization and possibly leave artifacts in the camera images. You know how it is.

Historically, the outdoors has been a pretty dirty place, and one might say that there is actually a lot of dirt everywhere outside. This year, Samsung says their new Fold 8 hinge is wider, thinner, and flatter. And when combined with that titanium substructure, which we'll hopefully see busted open in a second, it makes the screen crease less visible. Dustwise, though, it seems to keep out the nitty-gritty gunk just as well as last year's, so I'm not too worried about it. I can even see some of the metallic dust collecting on the magnets in the corners.

One big improvement that I haven't seen anyone talking about though is the fingerprint scanner. This time around, you're not just capacitively taking pictures of your finger. You roll your finger around on the button to get it scanned. And then, even with heavy, heavy abuse on the button itself, it's literally the fastest response time of any fingerprint scanner I've ever seen. Genuinely impressive. So, thumbs up for that.

The 7.6-inch titanium flex display has 3,000 nits of peak brightness and a 120Hz refresh rate. It starts permanently burning after about 7 seconds from my lighter. The titanium doesn't appear to help all that much with heat either, so hopefully it's much cooler on the inside.

The exterior 5.5-inch 120Hz 428 pixel per inch display on the outside lasted a tad longer at about 10 seconds, probably since the glass helps distribute the heat, but then went permanently black and green without recovering.

Finally, the bend test. When closed, this passport-style foldable has hardly any flex, not when bent from the front nor the back, which means this wallet sized phone could easily be a back pocket device and still survive being sat on—as long as the phone is closed anyway. When the phone is open, well, it's just a burden I have to bear, you know, pushing these premium devices to their absolute limits. We've never had a folding Samsung phone fail, except for the trifold, but that was an anomaly. And I think seeing devices that might at first appear fragile come through the other side of my test still in one piece instills a lot of confidence in potential purchasers. And I hope for this fold's sake that it, you know, makes it. The time has come.

Dagnabbit. While there is a substantial amount of rearward flex, the widened Fold 8 smartphone survives my durability test. No cracks at the antenna lines like we saw on the Pixel Fold, and no popping out of the screen like we saw in Motorola's folding phone. The glass back panel even pops off the back of the phone body before any damage happens to that soft center screen. Kind of mind-blowing. I don't know what Thanos-level mithril guru Samsung used to make their folding phones with, but the new wider Fold 8 is yet another rather impressive survivor.

Of course, if you want your new device to be blemish-free and keep the resale value high, might I recommend dbrand's Grip case. With its magnetic hinge protector, every angle of the fold stays completely protected whether it's open or closed. And with 40 different skins to choose from, like this real leather, your premium phone can feel as premium as a leather wallet. Link is down in the description. And of course, I'll have my teardown skin available soon, so stick around for that video.

Thanks a ton for watching. I'll see you around.

Цели говорения для этого клипа

Этот видеоклип поможет вам улучшить навык разговора на английском в контексте технического обзора и критики продуктов. Вы научитесь выражать мнения, описывать характеристики гаджетов и сравнивать их с предыдущими моделями — это отличный способ развить логічность и разговорную плавность. Также здесь много разговорных фраз, которые помогут сделать ваш речь более естественной, как у носителя.

Банк фраз

"coincidentally is about the same price as" — "совпадением, стоит примерно столько же, сколько"
"weather my durability test" — "пройти мой тест на прочность"
"laundry list of warnings" — "длинный список предупреждений"
"incredibly, the average American checks their phone 200 times a day" — "невероятно, но средний американец проверяет телефон 200 раз в день"
"thumbs up for that" — "плюс за это"
"mind-blowing" — "потрясающе"

Исправьте свои слабые места

Особое внимание уделите ритму и интонации в разговорной речи. В клипе много коротких фраз и экспрессий, которые носители используют для подчеркивания эмоций (например, "Dagnabbit!", "Kind of mind-blowing"). Практикуйте "shadow speech" — повторяйте за диктором сразу после него, копируя его темп и ударения. Это поможет улучшить вашу реакцию и сделать речь более естественной. Также обратите внимание на произношение сложных слов, таких как "titanium" (титан) или "substrate" (основание). Тренируйтесь проговаривать их правильно, используя метод "shadowspeak" — запишите себя и сравните с оригиналом. Это поможет избавиться от акцента и улучшить восприятие речи на слух.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
