Our Verdict
Samsung Q8FN/Q8/Q8F QLED 2018
Samsung Q7F 2025
The Samsung Q8FN/Q8/Q8F QLED 2018 is better than the Samsung Q7F 2025. The Q8FN is brighter, so it's more suitable for a well-lit room and delivers brighter highlights in HDR. The Q8FN also displays more vibrant colors, has better upscaling, and supports VRR as well as 1080p @ 120Hz, making it the more complete package overall.
