The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 brings a new form factor to foldable phones, and it’s the perfect size and shape for social media, video content, and books.
This has a 7.6-inch foldable AMOLED display with a 4:3 aspect ratio, a 1828 x 2448 resolution, around 403 pixels per inch, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a peak brightness of 3,000 nits. That’s joined by a 5.5-inch AMOLED cover screen with a 10:16 aspect ratio, a resolution of 1248 x 1972, roughly 428 pixels per inch, and a 120Hz refresh rate.
They’re both top-quality screens, but their size and aspect ratios make this a better fit for the sorts of content people most access on their phones than the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is, and it’s more compact too, making it pocket-friendly, easy to use with one hand, and cheaper.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 also has a top-end Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy chipset, paired with either 12GB or 16GB of RAM, making it one of the most powerful phones available in 2026, and coupled with its large foldable screen it’s ideal for multitasking.
Plus, it has a pair of high-spec 50MP cameras on the back – one for wide shots, and the other ultra-wide, while each screen contains a 10MP selfie camera.
This is extremely slim and light, coming in at just 4.5mm thick when unfolded and 201g, and its 4,800mAh battery delivers up to 26 hours of video playback – so this can last all day and beyond. It charges up fast too, with up to 45W of power.
And that’s not all – the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 also comes with Android 17, so it’s running the latest software, and it’s promised seven major Android upgrades, so it will stay current for a long time.
