Samsung lowers price for Galaxy Z Flip 8

Samsung has reduced the price of its Galaxy Z Flip 8 to 740 euros for Amazon Prime subscribers, making it more accessible than the standard 1,299 euros for the 256 GB model.

Dual-screen design enhances usability

The Galaxy Z Flip 8 includes two AMOLED screens, one 6.9-inch and the other 4.1-inch. The smaller external screen now supports more applications, such as a dedicated app drawer, enabling users to reply to messages or check directions without fully opening the device.

High-resolution display and durability

When unfolded, the 6.9-inch screen offers a resolution of 2,520 x 1,080 pixels, or 400 ppi, providing sharp visuals. The device is IP48 certified, offering protection against water immersion and particles larger than one millimeter, though it is not fully dustproof.

Performance and hardware details

Inside the Galaxy Z Flip 8 is Samsung’s Exynos 2600 chip, paired with the Xclipse 960 GPU, which delivers strong performance in testing. The camera system includes a 50-megapixel main sensor that performs well in both daylight and low-light conditions.

Battery and charging limitations

Despite the lithium-ion silicon-carbon battery, the device does not show significant improvements in battery life or charging speed. Wired charging remains relatively slow, and the Exynos 2600 chip can overheat during extended use, which may affect performance.

Design and future support

The Galaxy Z Flip 8 is available in a 512 GB version and is expected to receive seven years of software updates. Its design is described as aesthetically pleasing, though some technical aspects, like heat management, remain areas for improvement.
