The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8, a foldable smartphone that folds like a clamshell, was introduced in early August. It is currently available on Amazon for 759 euros for the 256 GB version, which is 340 euros cheaper than the price set by Boulanger. Amazon sells the 256 GB Graphite version for 759 euros, while Boulanger lists it at 1,099 euros, including a 200 euro trade-in bonus. This difference amounts to a 30 percent discount. The phone is aimed at users who want a compact device without sacrificing a large screen. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8 features a 6.9-inch screen that folds into a slim 13.1 mm block. An external 4.1-inch screen allows users to check notifications without opening the device. The phone is small enough to fit in a pocket, unlike traditional large smartphones. It weighs 180 grams, which is 8 grams lighter than the previous model, and the fold becomes nearly invisible when the screen is on. The 4.1-inch front screen, with a 120 Hz refresh rate, can display most applications, which switch to the larger screen when opened, eliminating the need to unfold the phone for every notification. Samsung promises seven years of system and security updates, ensuring the device remains up to date with the latest software for several years. When folded, the phone uses its 50 MP main camera as a front-facing lens, which is significantly better than the 10 MP internal camera. During the day, this stabilized wide-angle lens produces high-quality images, and the 4K video stabilization at 60 images per second was rated as excellent in testing. At night, the photos are acceptable but not outstanding. The phone is suitable for everyday tasks like messaging, photography, and social media. However, it heats up considerably under heavy use, with performance dropping to 50 percent during a 3DMark stress test. The 4,300 mAh battery provides most of the day's usage without much margin, and a full charge at 25 W takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Serious gamers or users who need long battery life might prefer a different model. Compared to the Galaxy Z Flip 7, the price difference is less significant now. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 was priced around 800 euros, making the new model less attractive at the time. However, at 759 euros, the Galaxy Z Flip 8 becomes a more appealing option. If you are considering other foldables like the Honor Magic V6 or a regular smartphone, a comparison of the best smartphones may help. The 256 GB version is not expandable, so those who frequently record 4K video might want to consider the 512 GB model. The phone is ideal for users who want a compact, refined device with good selfie capabilities and who can recharge it every night. Those who play games often or spend long periods away from a power source may find the heating and battery life more critical than the foldable design. If you plan to trade in your old phone, Boulanger's 200 euro trade-in bonus reduces the price gap. Finally, note that a USB-C charger is not included in the box.
