Galaxy Z Fold8 is the Perfect Device for Your Favorite Content — Here’s Why

As the global leader in foldables, Samsung’s innovations have moved the category forward year after year — creating the thin, light, and durable designs, innovative AI experiences, and stunning displays that users love.

Galaxy Z Fold8, unveiled alongside the latest Galaxy Z series lineup at Galaxy Unpacked on July 22, continues that legacy of innovation. Its display features all new Flex Titanium technology to make the device thin without compromising durability. The new display also creates a less visible crease for immersive viewing anytime, anywhere.

How is Galaxy Z Fold8 different from other Galaxy Z series foldables?

Galaxy Z Fold8 is designed for users who want the portability and ease of a traditional bar type phone while still being able to enjoy the benefits of a tablet-like display. Its form factor allows you to move easily between time sensitive actions on the cover screen to time intensive tasks like reading, gaming, and streaming on the main display.

Galaxy Z Fold8 is Samsung’s lightest Galaxy Z Fold design yet, with intuitive display ratios, and long-lasting performance, making it easier to be immersed in the content, stories, and ideas that you care about.

How big is the screen on Galaxy Z Fold8?

When folded, the 5.5-inch cover screen¹ feels familiar and comfortable for the short moments people return to most often, from messaging and social updates to browsing and short-form video.

When unfolded, the 4 by 3 ratio and 7.6-inch main display create a larger canvas that helps users lose themselves in games and films.

When rotated, the 3 by 4 display ratio is ideal for reading, offering a more comfortable way to enjoy articles, e-books, and long-form content.

Together, these display ratios are designed to make it more natural and comfortable to consume content, helping everything you do on Z Fold8 feel more immersive.

Why do the display ratios on Galaxy Z Fold8 matter?

A device’s display ratio helps determine how much of the screen is used when viewing photos, videos, games, and other content. Display ratios play an important role in how efficiently content uses the available screen space. Galaxy Z Fold8’s display ratios were chosen to reflect the way many people prefer to consume content today. The main screen features a 10:16 ratio — ideal for horizontal videos — while the cover screen features a 4:3 ratio — designed for vertical viewing. Both optimize the viewing experience for the content people naturally watch on each screen.²

How is AI on Galaxy Z Fold8 different from other Z series devices?

Galaxy Z Fold8 offers a new kind of foldable experience built around the way people explore, discover, and immerse themselves in their favorite content.
