Samsung Unveils Galaxy Z Fold8 and Flip8 Foldable Phones
Samsung unveiled its new Galaxy Z Fold8 and Z Flip8 foldable phones, with the Z Fold8 featuring a redesigned 10:16 screen ratio and weighing just 201 grams, making it the lightest Z Fold model ever made.
Samsung has unveiled the latest Galaxy Z Series foldable phones, headlined by the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra—the most powerful and thinnest foldable model to date. The lineup also includes the redesigned Galaxy Z Fold8, featuring a new 10:16 screen ratio that unfolds to 4:3, and the compact Galaxy Z Flip8 with a redesigned FlexWindow.
The standout Galaxy Z Fold8 boasts a fresh screen ratio engineered to match everyday content consumption habits, delivering practical performance for web browsing, video streaming, reading, and gaming. At just 201 grams, it is the lightest Galaxy Z Fold ever made, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform for Galaxy and a large 4,800 mAh battery.
When folded, the 10:16 outer screen feels familiar and fits comfortably in hand, ideal for quick daily tasks like messaging, social media, and short videos. Unfolded, the expansive 4:3 main display provides immersive gaming and movie viewing. The screen ratio automatically adjusts when rotated to match natural eye level and reading angles, eliminating the need for additional devices. Samsung developed these ratios based on real everyday usage patterns.
The new Galaxy Z Fold features upgraded engineering for a refined foldable experience and a sleeker form factor, employing Flex Titanium technology. The titanium alloy film combined with improved titanium sheets strengthens the display support, absorbs pressure and impact, and reduces the visibility of the crease over time. The new structure also balances the hinge mechanism, screen tension, and magnetic forces to deliver a smooth, light, and natural opening experience.
The main display reaches 3,000 nits brightness, working alongside Vision Booster and a low-reflection display finish to deliver vibrant, sharp, and clear visuals even in bright outdoor conditions.
The Galaxy Z Fold8 camera features dual lenses at 50 megapixels, delivering high-definition detail across wide and ultra-wide focal lengths. The Dual Recording feature simultaneously records both front and rear cameras with preview on the outer display, enhancing composition capture. The My FanCam feature automatically tracks and frames selected faces, allowing video scenes to be adjusted to desired aspect ratios for easy uploading.
