Galaxy Z Fold 8’s 10MP Inner Selfie Camera Obstructs Content on 7.6-Inch Display

Summary
Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 wins praise for its wider 4:3 inner screen, but its 10MP hole-punch selfie camera cuts into text, photos and videos when the phone is unfolded in portrait mode.
That flaw stands out because the 7.6-inch display works unusually well both for 16:9 video in landscape and for reading, scrolling and typing in portrait, making the camera placement harder to ignore.
Samsung placed the cutout in the top-middle of the right side of the main display, unlike Google and Motorola foldables that tuck it into a corner where it mostly overlaps the status bar.
The reviewer says the issue is worse on the Fold 8 than on squarer Fold models because rotating this device is more useful, and argues Samsung should have used an under-display camera, moved the cutout, or removed the inner selfie camera entirely.
