Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 combines a 201g weight with a 7.6-inch folding display and a 4,800mAh battery. The device measures 4.5mm thick when unfolded, making it Samsung’s lightest Galaxy Z Fold model to date.
The design focuses on making a large-screen foldable easier to carry without reducing its main display size. When folded, the handset measures 123.9 x 81.9 x 9.7mm, while its unfolded dimensions are 123.9 x 161.4 x 4.5mm.
Large display, compact folded form
The main display is a 7.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel with an adaptive 120Hz refresh rate. It reaches up to 3,000 nits of peak brightness and uses a 4:3 aspect ratio for reading, watching video, and gaming.
Samsung also includes a 5.5-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X cover display with an adaptive 120Hz refresh rate. Its 10:16 aspect ratio is intended for quick access to messages and short-form video.
| Display | Size | Aspect Ratio | Refresh Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main display | 7.6 inches | 4:3 | Adaptive 120Hz |
| Cover display | 5.5 inches | 10:16 | Adaptive 120Hz |
Samsung describes the overall layout as a wide-open design intended to make interaction on both screens feel more natural. The differing screen ratios indicate that the cover screen and inner panel are intended for distinct usage patterns.
Processor, cameras, and creator tools
The Galaxy Z Fold 8 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy processor. It is offered with up to 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of internal storage, and runs Android 17 with One UI 9 out of the box.
Its rear camera setup includes two 50MP cameras. There is also a 10MP camera on the cover display and a 10MP camera on the main display, while video recording supports 8K at 30fps.
Samsung has added Dual Recording, which records video from both sides of the device while showing the user’s self-preview on the cover screen. The My FanCam feature can automatically track a selected subject and adjust framing to the chosen aspect ratio.
Gadgets360 reports that the phone supports 45W wired charging and 20W wireless charging for its 4,800mAh battery. Connectivity options include 5G, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth, USB Type-C, and NFC.
Materials and protection
The cover display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 3, while the rear panel uses Gorilla Glass Victus 2. The frame is made from Advanced Armour Aluminium, and the device has an IP48 water-resistance rating.
Samsung also uses Flex Titanium construction, combining titanium alloy film with a titanium plate. According to Samsung, the technology contributes to the thinner build while supporting durability and smoother hinge movement.
