Samsung has added another interesting option to its lineup with the all-new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8, and on paper it looks like a device that wants to be your daily driver. Announced in 2026, July 22, it arrives at a time when the competition is as tight as ever.
Design & Display
Up front there is a 6.9 inches, 109.6 cm 2 (~87.1% screen-to-body ratio) screen, pushing a resolution of 1080 x 2520 pixels, 21:9 ratio (~400 ppi density). Colours look punchy and text stays clean, so you will not have much to complain about here. The build feels well put together, and Samsung has clearly paid attention to the in-hand feel. You can pick it up in a few finishes, including Graphite.
Performance & Software
Powering the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8 is the Qualcomm SM8850-1-AD Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 (3 nm) - US/CA/CN Exynos 2600 (2 nm) - ROW, paired with 12GB of RAM. For the kind of tasks most of us throw at a phone, there is plenty of muscle here. It runs Android 17, up to 7 major OS updates, One UI 9 out of the box, so the software experience feels current.
Camera
On the camera side, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8 is led by a 50 MP main sensor (50 MP, f/1.8, 23mm (wide), 1/1.56", 1.0µm, dual pixel PDAF, OIS 12 MP, f/2.2, 13mm, 123˚ (…). Point-and-shoot results are reliable, and that is exactly what most buyers want.
Battery
Battery duties are handled by a Si/C Li-Ion 4300 mAh unit, which should comfortably see most people through a full day on a single charge.
