New Foldable Experiences: Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold8 Series

Since introducing the first Galaxy Fold in 2019, Samsung has continued to refine the foldable experience through eight generations of innovation, shaped by how people use their devices every day. This continued evolution has resonated with consumers worldwide, including those in across Southeast Asia and Oceania.

Beyond advances in design and durability, the latest Galaxy Z Fold8 Series has expanded the possibilities of the foldable form factor – enabling users to multitask, create and edit content, and capture and enjoy their favourite moments, with each foldable designed around different needs.

Here is a closer look at what sets the Galaxy Z Fold8 Series apart:

Engineered With Excellence

Making a foldable thinner and lighter requires redesigning how its interconnected components work together – from the display and hinge to the battery, thermal system and internal architecture.

Through advances in materials and structural engineering, the latest Galaxy Z Fold8 Series achieves a thinner, lighter design than previous Galaxy Z Fold models while supporting durability and key performance features.

• At 201g[1], Galaxy Z Fold8 is Samsung’s lightest Galaxy Z Fold yet[2].
• New Flex Titanium technology combines a titanium-alloy film with an enhanced titanium plate to enable a slimmer display structure, while aiming to maintain the strength and flexibility needed for repeated folding. It also helps absorb pressure and impact while helping to reduce crease visibility.
• The Galaxy Z Fold8 Series underwent internal reliability validation tests simulating certain conditions, including drops, repeated folding and pressure, helping identify potential issues before the product reaches consumers.

Large Screens for Every Lifestyle

A larger screen creates more possibilities when it adapts naturally to how people use their phones – from everyday browsing and immersive viewing to multitasking and content creation.

Galaxy Z Fold8: Designed for Immersive Discovery

• When folded: The 10:16 cover screen[3] feels familiar for everyday tasks such as messaging, browsing and social updates.
• When unfolded: The 4:3 main screen[4] gives users more room to enjoy films and games, while rotating the device creates a more natural format for reading articles, e-books and other long-form content.
• Immersive: Powered by the Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform for Galaxy[5] and a 4,800mAh battery[6], Galaxy Z Fold8 delivers responsive performance and lasting power. The main screen also features up to 3,000 nits of brightness, Vision Booster and a low-reflection display finish, helping content stay clear and vivid in bright conditions.

Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra: Built for Maximum Productivity

• More room to work: The expansive 8-inch main display[7] makes multitasking and creating content easier, in Galaxy’s slimmest Z Fold design yet at just 4.1mm unfolded and 215g[8].
• A smarter Galaxy AI[9] experience: Now Nudge[10] surfaces relevant next steps during conversations, from checking schedules to finding places and saving locations. Gemini Notebook enables users to bring notes, images, recordings and documents into one workspace. With drag-and-drop support and resizable windows in Split view, users can move content between apps and keep key information visible side by side, making it easier to work across tasks.

Switch to Galaxy with Ease

With the Galaxy Z Fold8 Series, Samsung offers distinct foldable experiences to suit different priorities – from the Galaxy Z Fold8’s immersive content discovery to Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra’s expansive workspace for productivity and content creation.

Making the move to Galaxy is also easier with the updated Smart Switch[11]. Users switching from iOS or another Android device can transfer data wirelessly by scanning a QR code, without downloading an additional app, where device and software requirements are met. With One UI 9, the data supported for transfer from iOS expands to include passwords, passkeys, call history, accessibility settings and eSIM information, making it easier for users to bring more of what matters to their new Galaxy device.
