Samsung has introduced a new passport-style design with the Galaxy Z Fold 8. The foldable focuses on easier one-handed use and better content consumption.
The phone weighs 201 grams and measures just 4.5mm when unfolded. It features an Armour FlexHinge and a titanium-based display structure for added durability.
The 5.5-inch cover display offers a 120Hz refresh rate. It is well suited for social media, messaging and web browsing.
When unfolded, the 7.6-inch display delivers a 4:3 aspect ratio. This makes it useful for watching videos, reading, gaming and editing content.
The phone is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy. It comes with up to 16GB RAM and 1TB storage. Performance remains smooth during multitasking, gaming and photo editing.
Samsung ships the Fold 8 with Android 17 and One UI 9. It also includes several Galaxy AI features, including Now Nudge and My FanCam.
The camera setup includes a 50-megapixel main camera and a 50-megapixel ultrawide camera. Daylight photography is strong, while low-light performance is also capable. However, the phone does not offer a dedicated telephoto camera.
The 4,800mAh battery delivers around 6-7 hours of screen-on time in typical heavy use. It supports 45W wired charging and 20W wireless charging.
The Galaxy Z Fold 8 starts at Rs. 1,79,999 for the 12GB RAM and 256GB storage model. The top-end 16GB RAM and 1TB variant costs Rs. 2,39,999.
Overall, the Fold 8 focuses heavily on its new passport-style form factor. Its displays, performance and multitasking features make it a versatile premium foldable.
