BrandedUp in partnership with
For longtime Smart subscriber Jay-R Abar, a 44-year-old nurse, getting his hands on the new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 was about finding a smartphone that fits his lifestyle.
“I bought the Galaxy Z Fold8 because I really like the passport-sized form,” said Abar. “I don't usually like large phones, so the Fold8 is perfect for me. It's wider rather than tall, easy to hold, and ideal for reading.”
Abar was among the Smart Postpaid customers and Samsung fans who got a firsthand look at the latest generation of foldables during the official launch of the Samsung Galaxy Z8 Series at the Smart Store in SM Megamall in Mandaluyong City.
The launch gave guests an immersive firsthand experience of the new devices through product demonstrations, interactive games, and exciting prize giveaways. To enhance the experience, guests also enjoyed live acoustic performances and a selection of food and drinks.
For Abar, the Fold8's form factor was a major draw. He also appreciates the value and benefits of being a longtime customer.
“I’ve been a Smart Postpaid subscriber for 12 years now, and I’ve never had any issues. There are always great perks and rewards for long-time subscribers. Thank you, Smart!” he said enthusiastically.
Meanwhile, for 28-year-old sales manager Ven Morales, the Galaxy Z Fold8 doubles as a productivity tool that fits her work.
“It is perfect for my job as a sales manager in the field every day. Instead of bringing a huge tablet to access my apps, I can just open my Fold8 and let it act as a tablet,” shared Morales. “This device is actually what brought me back to Samsung.”
As a Smart subscriber for around four years, Morales sees the value of pairing the device with a postpaid plan.
“Smart really has the best postpaid offers, providing the most value for money,” she added.
World-class hardware powered by Smart 5G
As smartphones become increasingly capable, connectivity plays an equally significant role in bringing these experiences to life.
Rhomel Marcojos, head of Operator Business at Samsung, highlighted the importance of pairing advanced devices with reliable connectivity.
“World-class hardware is only half the magic. It takes an equally unstoppable network to bring it all to life,” said Marcojos.
“Through our collaboration with Smart, users get uninterrupted 5G connectivity and tailored postpaid plans that ensure every upload, stream, and AI automation happens at lightning speed.”
The latest Galaxy Z8 Series arrives as Smart rolls out its all-new Smart Postpaid Plans+, which features Unli App bundles designed around different digital lifestyles.
For the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, the Create Bundle is designed for productivity and demanding tasks.
The Galaxy Z Fold8 comes with the Play Bundle suited for reading, streaming, gaming, and other entertainment experiences that benefit from its expansive display.
Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z Flip8 is paired with the Connect Bundle, complementing its compact foldable design and AI-powered FlexCam capabilities for self-expression and content creation.
“It really is a perfect marriage of hardware innovation and a postpaid plan that suits your lifestyle, powered by Smart 5G,” said Niki Flojo, head of Smart Postpaid.
