Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy Z Flip 8, a compact clamshell-style smartphone released alongside the larger Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra. This new model features a redesigned body, a new Exynos 2600 chip, and an external screen that now includes a dedicated app drawer, allowing users to access multiple applications without fully unfolding the device. The 512 GB version of the Galaxy Z Flip 8 is currently available for 879 euros at the retailer Joybuy, which is about 41% less than its usual price of 1,499 euros. The phone includes two AMOLED screens—one measuring 6.9 inches and the other 4.1 inches—both noted for their high brightness levels.
The Galaxy Z Flip 8 is equipped with an Exynos 2600 chip and 512 GB of storage, and Samsung has promised seven years of software updates. When unfolded, the 6.9-inch AMOLED screen offers a resolution of 2,520 x 1,080 pixels at 400 ppi, providing a sharp and detailed display. The device's dimensions are 166.9 x 75.4 x 6.1 mm when unfolded and 13.1 mm thick when folded. While the design is described as appealing, the phone is certified IP48, which offers resistance to water immersion but not to fine dust.
The Exynos 2600 chip, supported by the Xclipse 960 GPU, delivers strong performance, though it can overheat during extended use. The phone includes a 50-megapixel main camera sensor that performs well in both daylight and low-light conditions. However, the lithium-ion silicon-carbon battery does not significantly improve overall usage time, and wired charging remains relatively slow.
While the Galaxy Z Flip 8 is suitable for everyday use, some concerns remain regarding heat management and battery performance. The device offers a blend of portability and advanced features, but users may want to consider its limitations before purchasing.
