Alexia Putellas has a new phone. The footballer has swapped her Galaxy Z Fold7 for the new Galaxy Z Fold8, a thinner and lighter foldable device from Samsung, continuing her role as an ambassador for the brand.
The switch comes as Putellas begins a new chapter in her career this season with London City Lionesses, after leaving FC Barcelona. She had used the Galaxy Z Fold7 for the past year, both for professional work and in her personal life.
A phone for everyday life
Putellas uses her phone to create content and share moments from her daily routine with her followers. According to the article, social media has opened a window into a side of athletes that used to stay further from public view, and the phone has become a key tool for staying in touch with her community.
Putellas said that every new stage is an opportunity to keep growing, and that just as her career evolves, so do the tools that go with her day to day. She said the Galaxy Z Fold8 lets her create content more comfortably and make the most of every moment to share with her community.
What's new in the Galaxy Z Fold8
The new phone keeps the folding format of the Galaxy Z Fold family but comes with changes aimed at everyday use. Samsung has reduced its thickness and weight while enlarging the main screen for more space when the device is unfolded.
The device also adds features powered by Galaxy AI, combining tasks such as work, content creation and multimedia viewing on the larger foldable screen. For Putellas, that combination fits a routine in which her phone has to adapt to very different situations.
From the Fold7 to the Fold8
The launch continues a story Samsung began telling weeks earlier. At the end of June, Putellas announced she was retiring her Galaxy Z Fold7 after a year of use and launched a giveaway among her followers to find someone to take it over. The story now continues with the arrival of the Galaxy Z Fold8, the device that will accompany her through this new stage.
The change comes during a summer marked by professional developments for the footballer, as she prepares for her first season with London City Lionesses while also updating one of the devices that is part of her daily routine.
