A Foldable That Feels More Like a Phone

The Galaxy Z Fold8 takes Samsung’s foldable in a noticeably different direction, with a shorter, wider shape designed around content, portability and everyday use.

It remains a premium foldable, but its lighter 201 g / 7.09 oz body and redesigned display proportions make it feel less like a miniature tablet you carry around and more like a phone that expands when you need it.

Thinner, Lighter and Easier to Live With

The Fold8’s biggest improvements focus on how the device feels, how content fits its displays and how much it can handle once opened. Samsung has also pushed multitasking and Galaxy AI deeper into the experience, making the hardware and software feel more closely connected.

A Lighter Fold That Feels Less Bulky
At 201 g / 7.09 oz, the Fold8 is Samsung’s lightest Galaxy Z Fold yet. Its 9.7 mm / 0.38 in folded thickness and wider proportions improve one-handed use while giving the cover screen a more natural shape for scrolling and everyday apps.

Two Screens With More Useful Proportions
The 5.5-inch cover display uses a 10:16 ratio for social feeds and short-form content, while the 7.6-inch main screen opens to a 4:3 canvas suited to video, reading and split-screen multitasking. Both displays support adaptive refresh rates up to 120Hz.

AI That Makes Better Use of the Big Screen
Samsung’s Now Nudge and Multi Window tools are designed to move tasks between the cover and main screens with fewer manual app switches. The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy provides the processing power for AI features, gaming and demanding multi-app workflows.

Four Cameras for Everyday Flexibility

Samsung gives the Fold8 a simpler camera system than the Fold8 Ultra, concentrating on two 50MP rear cameras and two 10MP front-facing cameras. The ProVisual Engine handles image processing, low-light refinement and video enhancement across the system.

50MP Wide Camera
The primary 50MP wide camera uses an f/1.8 aperture, optical image stabilization and Dual Pixel autofocus. It handles everyday photography, portraits and low-light shooting, while also supporting 2x optical-quality zoom and Samsung’s Nightography processing.

50MP Ultra-Wide Camera
The 50MP ultra-wide camera expands the field of view to 120 degrees for landscapes, architecture and large group shots. Its higher-resolution sensor also helps maintain stronger detail when moving between wide and ultra-wide perspectives.

10MP Cover Screen Camera
The 10MP cover camera handles conventional selfies and video calls while the phone is folded. Its 85-degree field of view keeps it suited to quick everyday shots without requiring the main display to be opened.

10MP Main Screen Camera
A second 10MP camera sits within the main display and uses a wider 100-degree field of view. It is particularly useful for video calls and group selfies when the Fold8 is open and positioned on a surface.

Samsung’s Most Practical Fold Yet

The Galaxy Z Fold8 feels like Samsung refining the foldable around the way people actually consume content. Its lighter body, broader proportions and more practical display ratios make the basic experience easier to live with, while the 7.6-inch main screen still delivers the expansive workspace that defines the Fold series.
