The Latest Samsung Galaxy Z Series Foldables Has Landed, And It’s Time For Your Upgrade

Samsung’s foldable lineup just got its most compelling refresh yet. At Galaxy Unpacked this July, the company unveiled the Galaxy Z Flip8, Galaxy Z Fold8, and Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra – three devices that build on generations of foldable leadership while pushing the category into new territory. And with an updated Smart Switch that lets iPhone users transfer their data wirelessly just by scanning a QR code, switching to Galaxy has never been simpler.

Here’s what makes this generation worth the upgrade.

Thinner And Lighter, By Design

Comfort matters as much as capability, and Samsung has prioritized both: the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra is thinner than its predecessor, the Z Fold7, while the Galaxy Z Flip8 is nearly 0.5mm thinner and 8g lighter than the Z Flip7. Meanwhile, the standard Galaxy Z Fold8 is Samsung’s lightest Fold to date, weighing in at just 201g. All that weight savings doesn’t sacrifice durability; the new devices feature titanium-alloy film in the display structure, back by the titanium plate to ensure minimal creases, and allows the entire device to stand through the test of time.

New Camera Experiences

Camera performance remains one of the biggest factors in any upgrade decision. To that end, the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra boasts the most powerful camera system in Galaxy Z history, anchored by a 200MP Wide camera and an upgraded 50MP Ultra Wide sensor with wider apertures for improved low-light brightness. A new My FanCam feature adds the ability to reframe and track subjects in video.

The Galaxy Z Fold8, meanwhile, offers dual 50MP cameras that deliver consistent high-resolution detail across both wide and ultra-wide shots. For the Galaxy Z Flip8, FlexCam enables hands-free shooting with true-to-life detail, while an upgraded Super Steady feature now includes Horizontal Lock for smoother footage – ideal for anyone who creates content on the go.

Battery And Performance That Keep Up

Nobody wants a dead battery interrupting their day, and Samsung has addressed that with the new models. The Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra now features a bigger 5,000mAh silicon-carbon battery that supports up to 27 hours of video playback, with 45W Super-Fast charging to get you back up and running quickly, all while keeping the device as slim as any conventional smartphone.

The Galaxy Z Flip8 also got a big upgrade performance-wise, now powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform for Galaxy that delivers 41% faster AI performance than the Z Flip7, alongside a 30% boost in CPU processing and optimized graphics. Gaming on Z Flip8? Not a problem at all.

A Genuinely New Form Factor

The Galaxy Z Fold8, meanwhile, introduces something entirely different: Samsung’s all-new foldable shape, shorter and wider than previous generations. The 10:16 cover screen is built for scrolling, while the immersive 4:3 main screen is suited to movies and e-books, so users can switch between the two depending on the content they consume.

Anti-reflection coating and 3,000 nits of brightness on the main screen improve visibility indoors and out, while new Flex Titanium technology strengthens the display, absorbs impact, and reduces crease visibility over time. Paired with powerful performance and dual 50MP cameras, the Z Fold8 offers a new shape and new experience alike.
