Key Takeaways
Passport-wide shape feels natural closed and uses more screen area for video.
At 201 g it is Samsung's lightest book foldable and easier to hold one-handed.
Dual 50MP cameras are capable, but you lose the telephoto zoom found on the Ultra model.
45W wired charging is a big step up from Fold7, though the 45W adapter is sold separately.
AU list from $2,699 AUD is $200 below last year's Fold7 entry, but still flagship money.
