Meet the Galaxy Z Flip8: Features, upgrades, and everything to know

When is the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8 release date?

The Galaxy Z Flip8 is finally here. Launched at Galaxy Unpacked on 22nd July 2026, the clamshell foldable is now available to pre-order on Samsung.com with exclusive launch offers, online-only colours and rewarding trade-in benefits.

Slimmer, lighter and more expressive, the Galaxy Z Flip8 brings together an optimised FlexWindow, a smoother and upgraded hinge and our latest Galaxy AI experience in our most polished Flip yet. Here is a closer look at the features, specifications and Galaxy AI experiences that define the new Galaxy Z Flip8.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8 vs Galaxy Z Flip7: What’s new & improved?

At 180g and just 6.1mm slim, the Galaxy Z Flip8 is our thinnest and lightest Flip yet, 8g lighter than the Galaxy Z Flip7 and noticeably easier to carry through busy days.

Durability also gets a confident lift over the Galaxy Z Flip7. A smoother and stronger hinge with a widened inner bezel gap creates an effortless opening motion, while refinements to the hinge structure reduce the visible crease, leaving the inner canvas cleaner and more uniform than before. The IP48 rating continues to add an extra layer of reassurance.

The 6.9-inch AMOLED main display and 4.1-inch FlexWindow take on a fresh role in practical use. Where the Galaxy Z Flip7 introduced the optimised cover screen, the Galaxy Z Flip8 takes it further with One UI 9, letting you access the apps tray, customise widgets, frame selfies, check alerts and control music directly from the cover screen without ever unfolding the phone.

The camera experience on the Galaxy Z Flip8 evolves through smarter processing compared to the Galaxy Z Flip7's setup. AI-powered bokeh, Super Steady with 360° horizon detection and Photo Assist, all sharpen the Galaxy Z Flip8's camera strengths, giving you a more powerful creative tool in a compact form.

What processor, memory and storage options does the Galaxy Z Flip8 come with?

The Galaxy Z Flip8 is powered by our new flagship chipset, the Exynos 2600 built on an advanced 2nm process in select markets, and the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy in others, delivering a clear step up in performance within a slim foldable body.

The Galaxy Z Flip8 pairs 12GB of memory with 256GB and 512GB storage choices, leaving plenty of room for photos, videos, apps and documents. A complete connectivity suite, including 5G, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth, NFC and USB Type-C, keeps the Galaxy Z Flip8 ready for everything your day demands.

What is the battery and charging capacity of the Galaxy Z Flip8?

The Galaxy Z Flip8 is powered by a 4,300mAh battery, tuned for dependable all-day performance. Improved power efficiency through the new chipset helps the battery stretch further than the Galaxy Z Flip7, supporting messages, calls, maps, photos, social apps and Galaxy AI tasks across a busy day.

The Galaxy Z Flip8 supports 25W wired fast charging, giving you a swift top-up when time matters, while wireless charging and reverse wireless charging add freedom to your routine. Use a cable when speed is the priority or share power with your Galaxy Buds, Galaxy Watch and other compatible accessories on the move.

What is the Galaxy Z Flip8 camera setup?

The Galaxy Z Flip8 features a 50MP FlexCam, paired with a 12MP Ultra Wide rear camera and a 10MP front camera. Super Steady automatically detects the horizon to keep your frame level, even when the camera rotates a full 360 degrees. AI-powered bokeh sharpens portraits, and Photo Assist makes editing quick and intuitive.

The Flip form factor opens up new ways to shoot. FlexMode lets you set up the phone for hands-free selfies, videos and group shots, while the cover screen doubles as a viewfinder for selfies with the rear cameras, with shot previews and settings controlled directly from the cover screen.

Which Galaxy AI features are available on the Galaxy Z Flip8?

The Galaxy Z Flip8 runs on Android 17 with our newest One UI 9, both refined for the clamshell form to bring Galaxy AI seamlessly across the cover screen and the main display.

Now Brief surfaces hyper personalised insights right on the outer screen, keeping you ahead of your day without unfolding the phone. Live translation, smart replies, writing assistance and AI-driven photo editing all extend across the cover and main displays, while richer cover screen widgets, music controls and camera previews make the cover screen a true second home for your most-used actions.
