Foldable cinema in your pocket: Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 review

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 is the most compelling foldable yet, packing a redesigned 7.6-inch main display with a 4:3 aspect ratio, superb brightness and uniformity, and a smoother hinge thanks to Flex Titanium tech—ideal for movie-watching on the go. Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 with 12–16GB RAM, it handles apps smoothly, supports HDR10+ and Dolby Atmos, and houses a solid 4800mAh battery that easily lasts a day. It runs Android 17/One UI 9 and Samsung promises up to seven years of updates. However, the price is steep (starting around £1699 / $1899 / AU$2699, with up to 1TB RAM/16GB) and camera count is modest at four, with some AI features missing (ProScaler). All told, it’s a premium portable movie machine that justifies its cost for media lovers, even if rival non-folding flagships remain cheaper.

Passport-Size Power: Samsung's Z Fold 8 Redefines Foldable Convenience

Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 is a compact, versatile foldable with a minimized crease, a 7.6-inch main display and 5.5-inch cover, and an improved 4,800 mAh battery with 45W charging. It uses a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, offers strong everyday performance and AI features (Now Nudge, My FanCam), but lacks a telephoto camera and built-in magnets for Qi2 charging, at a steep $1,900 price point. It's best for those who want a premium, adaptable device that works well for browsing, video, and multitasking.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 gains per-app zoom in Labs, but rollout remains limited

Android Authority reports that Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 has per-app zoom controls hidden in Settings > Advanced features > Labs. After being spotted in Fold 8 Ultra firmware, the feature now appears on the Fold 8 in a Labs option, offering five zoom levels for individual apps. Early demonstrations show Chrome’s page content not zooming while the UI scales, whereas Maps shows both UI and content zooming. Samsung apps aren’t showing up yet, and it’s unclear how broadly this will be released as final retail firmware is still pending with August 7 retail open date for Z Fold 8 devices.

Xiaomi Preps July Foldable to Challenge Galaxy Z Fold 8

Xiaomi is reportedly returning to the book-style foldable market with a new device that could launch around July, possibly named Mix Fold 5 or Xiaomi 17 Fold, and using internally developed hinge, cameras, and UI; it would debut before Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 as competition intensifies (with Apple’s foldable rumored) after the Mix Fold 4’s China-only release and rivals like Honor and Oppo already going international.
