What experiences does Galaxy Z Fold8’s design enable?

Galaxy Z Fold8’s display is designed to optimise the content you consume, shifting and expanding with your curiosity. The 10:16 cover screen is the ideal shape for messaging, browsing, and short-form video to fill the screen, and the immersive 4:3 main screen is great for unfolding to enjoy full-screen movies and e-books^[1]. Whichever you choose, optimised aspect ratios on both screens enable you to watch content exactly how you want. And with anti-reflection on the main screen and up to 3000 nits of brightness, you’ll have better clarity indoors, outdoors, and whenever curiosity strikes.

What is Galaxy Z Fold8’s battery life?

Galaxy Z Fold8 has a 4,800mAh battery^[2] for continuous playback, up to 26 hours^[3]. That means you can stay immersed throughout the day, as you stream, research, and create – all while staying charged up without having to break your flow.

Galaxy Z Fold8 also features powerful performance fuelled by Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy.^[4] Engineered with a next-gen CPU, GPU and NPU, the processor handles seamless streaming, powers AI tools, and keeps visuals smooth.

Test the battery out by seeing how it lasts during a day of scrolling, texting to keep up with friends and family, and streaming your favourite videos.

How can I maximise my use of Galaxy Z Fold8’s camera?

Galaxy Z Fold8 also helps you perfectly frame the moments you film with My FanCam.^[5] On the main screen of Galaxy Z Fold8, you can change wide-angle shots into subject-centred shots, cropped to your choice of aspect ratio for easier, more precise edits right from your Gallery.
