The latest generation of foldables were recently unveiled in London where media and content creators from Southeast Asia and Oceania were among the first to experience the new devices.

Tracing a route through the city’s most photographed corners, they explored new perspectives with the Samsung Galaxy Z8 series, capturing everything from historic riverside landmarks to bustling local markets. And here’s how they did it.

Does the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra take good photos in low light?
Yes. Improved Nightography[2] helps photos and videos look brighter and clearer in low light, so users can capture standout moments even when lighting isn’t ideal.

A Versatile Camera, Built for the Way Creators Shoot

The Tower Bridge has been a historic landmark of London on the River Thames since 1894, making it a natural first test for the Galaxy Z Fold8’s camera system. Its iconic twin towers, Victorian architecture and riverside setting offer photographers plenty to frame.

Shooting from a low angle against an open sky, Nguyễn Hữu Đan Anh (@dananh0112) from Vietnam framed the bridge on the expansive main display and turned it into social-ready photos and video with all-in-one capture, editing and sharing on the Galaxy Z Fold8.

How does the Galaxy Z Fold8 help you turn group footage into more focused video content for socials?

With My FanCam[3], users can select a subject that the Galaxy Z Fold8 should track. With this feature, footage can be automatically reframed into a preferred aspect ratio — making polished edits faster and easier with less manual effort.

How can I shoot reaction videos with just my Galaxy Z Fold8?

Dual Recording does it for you: the front and rear cameras work together at the same time, and you can use the cover screen to help you stay in frame while you shoot what’s in front.

With the Galaxy Z Fold8, creativity doesn’t need to wait for the perfect setup. Its advanced dual camera system gives creators like Fahmi greater freedom to capture every angle with clarity, ease, and imagination.

What gives the Galaxy Z Fold8 the ability to shoot from different angles?

The Galaxy Z Fold8’s Dual 50 MP cameras[4] deliver high resolution detail across wide and ultra-wide shots, preserving image quality for different scenes and shooting conditions.

Redefining Mobile Imaging for Power Users

Against London’s backdrop of vibrant streetscapes and stunning architecture, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra redefined how moments were preserved, edited, and experienced. With the new Galaxy Z8 series, the city of London was a canvas of fleeting moments, unexpected angles, and stories waiting to be captured by the media and creators.

If selfies are more your thing, these are easier than ever to take with the Galaxy Z Flip4 hand-free selfie or “flex cam” feature that allows you to get your best angle in a breeze. You can even use the Rear Camera to take a selfie while the Cover Screen gives you a real-time preview.

The Galaxy Z Flip4 isn’t all looks though – with the latest 4nm Snapdragon processor (it’s the only flip phone with this processor), it’s powerful enough to take on your different tasks as you go from work to play this summer.

The newly launched Galaxy Z Flip4 and Galaxy Z Fold4 are Samsung’s most powerful foldables ever, each equipped with an immersive display, versatile camera, and flexible modes of usage. Now into their fourth generation respectively, both the Galaxy Z Flip4 and Galaxy Z Fold4 are packed with features and functions to optimize work and play for everyone.

However, did you know that these smartphones, which are designed to last, are also Samsung’s most durable foldables ever?

Whether getting caught in a rainstorm or accidentally dropping your smartphone while out and about, let us dive in and find out how you can lean on both new Galaxy Z Flip4 and Galaxy Z Fold4 to survive these rough moments.

Your hardy exercise buddy

During an intense workout at the gym, your phone is usually the least of your concerns – but what if it unexpectedly slips out of your hands or pocket?

The Galaxy Z Flip4 and Galaxy Z Fold4’s frame and folding hinge are reinforced with Armor Aluminum, the strongest aluminum used in modern smartphones. Both devices are equipped with the exclusive Corning^® Gorilla^® Glass Victus^®+ on the Cover Screen and rear glass, making the Galaxy Z Flip4 and Galaxy Z Fold4 our toughest foldables ever.

The Main Screen panel is also 45% stronger thanks to a specially designed optimized layer structure, reducing the likelihood that your foldable is damaged by external shocks.

Meant for folding, intentional or otherwise

If you have a friend checking out a Galaxy foldable for the first time, or a toddler who is always looking for new ‘toys’, you may see them enthusiastically opening and closing your Galaxy Z Flip4 or Galaxy Z Fold4. In times like these, you may think that the unique foldable mechanisms and main screens of the Galaxy Z Flip4 and Galaxy Z Fold4 would be put to the ultimate test.

As the pioneer of foldables, Samsung has innovated continuously to make the hinge slimmer and more portable yet still highly hard-wearing. In fact, Bureau Veritas, a world leader in testing, inspection, and certification services has verified durability tests that showed that the displays of the Galaxy Z Series can be unfolded and refolded more than 200,000 times.

The key element to Galaxy Z Flip4 and Galaxy Z Fold4’s main screens is the Ultra-thin Glass, a proprietary material that can be folded hundreds of thousands of times while maintaining its durability. On top of that, the main display is protected by a PET screen protective film with an enhanced adhesive to ensure reliability and longevity with continuous use.

Designed to beat the elements

In today’s tech-filled world, your smartphone should accompany you anywhere and everywhere, including the great outdoors.

Imagine holding up your Galaxy Z Flip4 to capture a TikTok at a scenic park when it starts to rain heavily! While running to seek shelter a distance away, your belongings, including the Galaxy Z Flip4 in your hands, are completely wet. Would your foldable survive this misadventure?

Here’s the good news – the Galaxy Z Series is built to resist the outdoor elements. Both foldables are IPX8 water-resistant ¹, so they have been tried and tested to withstand being submerged in up to 1.5 meters of freshwater for a duration of up to half an hour.

To ensure a natural and seamless folding and unfolding experience, the Hinge is also strengthened with a Sweeper Hinge technology. This feature is design to block debris from getting caught inside the Galaxy Z Fold4 and Galaxy Z Flip4, acting as a shield for their internal features and ensuring the foldables remain a flexible companion for a day out.

Heavy-duty note-taking? No problem!

Ever been overwhelmed with information in a meeting or lecture, and needed a quick way to record notes and ideas?

The new Galaxy Z Fold4 supports on-the-go drawing and note-taking with S Pen support. This has made this next generation of foldables even more powerful in terms of productivity, increasing their ability to support freehand content creation as well as interpret what you write accurately with the S Pen To Text feature.

To support all your handwriting needs, the S Pen has a rounded, retractable pen tip to prevent excessive pressure and protect the screen, especially when trying to take notes in a quick fashion. In addition, the PET protective film layer on the screen enhances its durability, while allowing users to smoothly write and convert handwritten words to text.

Foldables have got your back

Whether you are having a rough day or getting into any unforeseen situations, Samsung’s latest Galaxy Z series has got you covered. Inside and out, these foldables are packed with barrier-defying innovations that deliver the level of durability that you would expect to help you deal with the unexpected challenges of everyday life.
