Is the HW-Q800D worth it over the Q700D?

Yes if you want up-firing Atmos channels and SpaceFit Pro tuning; the Q700D drops the height drivers. If you mostly watch stereo TV, the Q700D saves money.

Does it come with rear speakers?

No. The box has the bar and the wireless subwoofer only. The 5.1.2 label counts the bar's side and up-firing drivers, so true rear effects need Samsung's optional rear speaker kit.

Will Q-Symphony work with my TV?

Only with compatible Samsung TVs, generally 2020 models and newer. On other brands the bar works normally over HDMI eARC or optical, but the TV speakers won't join in.

How big is the bar and will it fit my TV?

The bar is about 43.7 inches wide, so it suits 55-inch TVs and up. On a 50-inch set it will extend past the edges; check your stand width before buying.

The soundbar, the wireless subwoofer, a remote, batteries, an HDMI cable and a power adapter. Wall-mount brackets are included.

Samsung soundbars typically drop during Black Friday, Prime Day and Super Bowl sales, and again when a new Q-Series model launches. The current $797.99 at Amazon as of November 3 is a fair mid-cycle price, not a low.

Our take on the Samsung HW-Q800D Q-Series Wireless Dolby Atmos 5.1.2 Soundbar

The Samsung HW-Q800D is a 5.1.2-channel soundbar with a wireless 8.2-inch subwoofer, up-firing drivers for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, and Samsung's Q-Symphony and SpaceFit Sound Pro room tuning. It adds built-in Alexa, AirPlay 2, Chromecast and Spotify Connect, plus HDMI eARC, optical and Bluetooth 5.2. It sits in Samsung's mid-to-upper Q-Series, below the Q900D and above the Q700D, and its best current price is $797.99 at Amazon as of November 3.
