Samsung Z Fold8 Ultra: The Evolution of Folding Phones

Apple supplied Unbox Therapy's most-watched new upload, but Samsung supplies the longer view: what has changed since the original Galaxy Fold arrived in 2019?

"Samsung Z Fold8 Ultra: The Evolution of Folding Phones" puts that early folder beside its 2026 descendant. The video is sponsored by Samsung, and it is currently drawing the most daily views of the channel's three new uploads. After Lewis Hilsenteger's iPhone Duo first impressions, it gives the week's folding-phone theme a little historical perspective.

"Apple iPhone Duo Unboxing and First Impressions" has passed roughly 1.2 million views. Lew tests typing, cameras and multitasking, finding the under-display selfie camera blurry while favoring the option to use the main cameras through the cover screen. The episode also contains sponsored accessory segments. In the comments, viewers recall watching him years ago, with several connecting another folding iPhone to his famous bend-test era.

The third upload, "Smartphones Are Getting OUT of Control…", moves from hinges to photography with a ZEISS telephoto kit. It is a paid partnership with vivo, rather than an independent accessory review.

Across the channel, daily viewing is now more than double its usual level, although the subscriber count stayed unchanged over the week. Among nearby technology channels, JerryRigEverything had a substantial subscriber gain, while Linus Tech Tips is viewing slightly above its usual daily level. For Unbox Therapy, the fresh activity is concentrated on three different ways to make a phone something other than an ordinary slab.

If they made a phone like the outer screen, shorter but a tad wider like the size of a passport with out the folding stuff would be pretty cool.
