Introduction<\/p>\n

Samsung reinvented the Fold just in time to cast a shadow on the imminent iPhone Ultra release, but its Flip counterpart got an upgrade too – even if it received a lot less attention at the launch event. Now, with the Fold8 reviews out of the way, we intend to give the Flip our full attention. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8 is in for review.<\/p>\n

\"Samsung<\/p>\n

On paper, the Galaxy Z Flip 8 appears as an impressive phone on its own: a water-resistant compact foldable featuring a top-of-the-line chip, an upgraded hinge, and an eye-catching fresh lineup of colors.<\/p>\n

The Z Flip8 packs a 6.9-inch LTPO AMOLED 2X foldable screen with 1080p resolution (400ppi), dynamic 120Hz refresh rate, and HDR10+ support. The cover screen is a 4.1-inch regular AMOLED with 342ppi density and a 120Hz refresh rate. Both screens now support up to 3,000nits of peak brightness.<\/p>\n

\"Samsung<\/p>\n

As mentioned, the phone has gotten a new chip as well – the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for North America and China, or the Exynos 2600 for everywhere else. Either way, it comes with 12GB of RAM and 256GB or 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage.<\/p>\n

The camera setup remains familiar: a 50MP primary and a 12MP ultrawide imager on the back, plus a 10MP selfie camera on the inside screen.<\/p>\n

The Z Flip8 packs a 4,300mAh battery supporting 25W wired, 15W wireless, and reverse wireless charging.<\/p>\n

It all sounds great, but we can’t overlook the fact that so little has changed since the Z Flip 7 – an incremental chip update, a minor bump in peak brightness and new colorways, and that’s about it. <\/p>\n
