Samsung’s latest foldable lineup is a departure from what the company’s been doing up to now. Rather than the usual two foldables — a Flip and a Fold — Samsung’s released three, including two book-style Z Fold phones in different aspect ratios. People have seemed excited about the new, wider form factor (the marginally less premium of the two) since before the phones were released , and now a survey Android Authority ‘s been running has confirmed that vibe.

In a poll we’ve been running since late July, we asked readers which of the two Z Fold 8 phones they’d be more likely to buy. There were four options: the wide Z Fold 8; the narrow, higher-end Z Fold 8 Ultra; a response for people who hadn’t decided yet; and one for folks who just aren’t interested. After more than 1,000 responses, the wide Z Fold 8 ran away with it, nabbing nearly 60% of all votes.

With 59% of all votes in our survey, the standard Z Fold 8 was more than twice as popular as he Z Fold 8 Ultra, which is sitting just under 26% as of writing. That’s probably largely down to its novel, squarer shape when it’s closed, but it’s also likely down to cost. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 starts at an extremely premium $1,900, but the Z Fold 8 Ultra is pricier still at a staggering $2,100.

The two remaining options — “Waiting for reviews” and “Neither” — brought up the rear, nearly tied at about 7.5% each.

These findings line up neatly with what we can see playing out in the real world. The passport-style Galaxy Z Fold 8 has been in high enough demand that certain configurations are back-ordered for weeks , with at least one specific combo projected to be delivered in October.

What do you think of Samsung’s two Z Fold 8 phones? Do you agree with the majority of the respondents in this survey, or do you think the narrower Z Fold 8 Ultra is the move? Tell us about it in the comments.
