Samsung unveils Galaxy Z Flip 8 with AI-powered cover screen and slimmer design at $1,200

Samsung's slimmer Galaxy Z Flip 8 brings apps and AI to the cover screen - Engadget

The design and most specs are unchanged from the previous model. As part of its Galaxy Unpacked 2026 event, Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy Z Flip 8, one of three new foldable phones along with the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Fold 8 Ultra. The new device largely retains the design of the previous model (including the cameras, unfortunately), but it's slimmer and there's now more to activity happening on the cover display. The Galaxy Z Flip 8 is the smallest, and some may argue the most fun of all the Samsung foldables. It weighs just 180 grams and when folded is a very pocketable 85.7 x 75.4 x 13.1 mm (3.37 x 2.97 x 0.51 inches). Unfolded, it's the size of a regular smartphone at 166.9 x 75.4 x 6.1 mm (6.57 x 2.97 x 0.24 inches). That's slightly lighter, smaller and slimmer than the last model. The main screen is a 6.9-inch AMOLED 2X (1,080 x 2,520) display with 120Hz adapative refresh rate and Vision Booster. The cover, or what Samsung also calls the Flex Window, is a 4.1-inch 948 x 1,048 AMOLED screen with a 60/120Hz refresh rate. Those display sizes and resolutions are the same as the Galaxy Z Flip 7. The new Flex Window is where most of the new features lie. It brings "apps, insights and actions" directly to the cover screen, along with a feature called Now Brief that offers "next steps and timely insights" to give you glanceable information. It also makes automation through Gemini Intelligence easier to access from the Flex Window, "allowing users to complete connected actions through side-key activation or natural voice requests." In our Engadget review, we weren't fond of the dated cameras in the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and unfortunately, Samsung hasn't changed those. You still get a 50MP f/1.8 main (wide) camera, 12MP ultrawide and a 10MP selfie camera. Of course, you can use the main camera for selfies with the cover display and employ features like the "Camcorder Grip" mode that lets you shoot horizontally while holding the bottom part of the phone. Video shooting at up to 4K 60 fps now features a new horizontal lock option that keeps the horizon steady, a feature found on action cameras like the GoPro Hero 13. Like the other foldable models, the Z Flip 8 comes with Qualcomm's flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy processor, which should offer a boost in performance and battery life. However, the battery itself is unchanged from last year's 4,300 mAh dual battery and charging speeds remain the same with 25W max wired and 15W wireless charging rates. Despite being a minor refresh, the Galaxy Z Flip 8 costs $100 more than before with a $1,200 starting price. It's now on preorder at Samsung, Best Buy, Amazon and other retailers, with shipping starting on August 7.

Samsung India Launches its All-New Foldable Lineup: Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Fold8 and Flip8; Pre-order Now for Exciting Offers

The Galaxy Z series brings Samsung's most refined foldable experience yet, combining purpose-built Galaxy AI with breakthrough engineering across hinge design, display, durability and performance Pre-order now and enjoy an INR 10000 Upgrade Offer, or up to INR 9000 Bank/UPI Cash Back, or 30-month No-Cost EMI with 0% Down Payment* Samsung announced that its highly-anticipated new foldable Galaxy Z series smartphones are available for pre-order in India, starting today. The lineup introduces Galaxy Z Fold8, a new foldable designed around immersive content consumption, alongside Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra for advanced productivity and content creation, and Galaxy Z Flip8, Samsung's slimmest Flip device, built for self-expression and quick everyday interactions. Built on seven generations of foldable innovation and user feedback, the new Galaxy Z series offers diverse form factors, all powered by Galaxy AI tailored to different needs. On Galaxy Z Fold8 and Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, larger displays support seamless multitasking and productivity, while on Galaxy Z Flip8, its AI-native FlexWindow places relevant information and shortcuts within easy reach. Across the range, Galaxy AI features -- including Gemini Intelligence -- help users complete tasks in fewer steps while maintaining transparency, privacy and user control. "The response to our foldable smartphones over the last seven generations reaffirms Samsung's leadership in a category we pioneered. Consumers are choosing Samsung foldables for their distinctive design and personalised Galaxy AI experiences that enable productivity and creativity. These devices with their cutting-edge hardware engineering and durable design are made in India and supported by our R&D capabilities in the country, helping us create innovations that meet the evolving needs of our consumers," said JB Park, President and CEO, Samsung Southwest Asia. Galaxy Z Fold8: New Foldable Experience Focused on Immersive Viewing The Galaxy Z Fold8 is designed for those who want a foldable that transitions smoothly from quick interactions on the cover screen to more immersive viewing, reading and gaming on the main display when unfolded. The device -- weighing just 201g -- is Samsung's Lightest Galaxy Z Fold yet despite packing a large 4800mAh battery that extends daily use. Its display adapts to different types of content. When folded, the 10:16 cover screen is designed for tasks such as messaging, social media, web browsing and watching short-form video. When unfolded, the 4:3 main display provides a larger viewing area for games and films while reducing unused screen space for 16:9 content. When rotated, the display ratio becomes better suited for reading articles and e-books. The Galaxy Z series introduces Flex Titanium, an updated display structure that combines a titanium alloy film with an enhanced titanium plate to reduce crease visibility and withstand repeated folding, pressure and everyday impacts while preserving flexibility. The main display reaches up to 3000 nits of peak brightness, while Vision Booster and a low-reflection display finish improve outdoor visibility. The Galaxy Z Fold8 boasts a dual 50MP camera system that delivers hi-res images from both wide and ultra-wide cameras. It is designed to make capturing and editing photos and videos easier across different scenes and shooting conditions. Its Dual Recording allows users to record both sides of a moment while previewing themselves on the cover screen, while My FanCam automatically tracks a selected subject and reframes footage into a preferred aspect ratio, reducing the amount of manual editing needed before sharing. Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra: The Most Advanced Foldable for Productivity The Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra brings Samsung's highest level of performance, capability and innovation to the foldable category. The device combines a large display, an advanced camera system and hardware designed for demanding workflows, from multitasking to content creation. When opened, its 8-inch main display provides a large workspace for running multiple applications and creating content throughout the day. It is just 4.1mm when unfolded and weighs a mere 215g, making it Samsung's slimmest Fold design to date. Samsung designed the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra to give creators greater flexibility from shooting through editing without leaving the device. Its 200MP main camera system captures rich, detailed photos with greater clarity, now enhanced with High Dynamic Range capability in 200MP mode for more true-to-life images. A new 50MP ultra-wide camera brings greater detail to wider scenes and macro shots, giving users more flexibility when capturing landscapes, interiors, group shots and close-ups. Samsung has also improved Nightography for both photos and videos, producing brighter, clearer results in low-light conditions. For advanced creators, Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra supports 8K video recording using the new APV codec. Cine LUT tools provide additional colour and tone controls directly on the device, giving users greater flexibility during editing and production. The Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy platform, which enables smooth multitasking across multiple applications and larger-screen workflows. Its 5,000mAh battery -- with 45W fast charging -- supports a full day of work, content creation and entertainment while maintaining the slim foldable form factor. Galaxy Z Flip8: An AI-Native Flip Experience The Galaxy Z Flip8 is designed for users who want a compact smartphone that supports quick interactions, personal expression and AI-powered experiences. Samsung has redesigned the device around an updated FlexWindow, making the cover display a central part of the user experience. Weighing 180g and just 6.1mm thin, the Galaxy Z Flip8 is Samsung's slimmest and lightest Flip smartphone to date. Samsung has reimagined FlexWindow on the smartphone as an AI-native interface that brings apps, information and actions directly to the cover screen. Users can access notifications, AI-powered features and connected tasks without opening the device. Now Brief on FlexWindow presents personalised updates and suggested next steps, helping users move from information to action instantly. The Galaxy Z Flip8 also expands access to Gemini Intelligence through FlexWindow. Users can activate Gemini using the side key or natural voice commands to complete connected tasks without unfolding the device. The smartphone builds on Samsung's Flip camera experience with tools designed for hands-free photography, real-time previews and cover-screen shooting. It features a 50MP camera powered by Samsung's ProVisual Engine that delivers its most advanced Flip selfie experience, producing detailed portraits, natural skin tones, dynamic background blur and improved image quality. Flex Mode supports hands-free photography from a wide range of shooting angles. Camcorder Grip with Zoom Rocker provides a more stable and comfortable way for video on the move. Super Steady, now with Horizon Lock, keeps video footage smooth and consistently framed, including selfies recorded using the cover screen. FlipShot allows users to personalise the FlexWindow while capturing mirror selfies, and its Cover Screen Mirror gives users a realistic preview for quick appearance checks before taking a photograph or heading out. Galaxy AI Introduces More Personal and Proactive Experiences The new Galaxy Z series represents the next stage of Galaxy AI, with experiences designed for foldable devices where larger displays create additional opportunities for multitasking and contextual assistance. Now Brief surface relevant information throughout the day based on a user's routines, interests and daily needs. Now Nudge helps users act on information as conversations develop. AI can suggest relevant next steps, such as checking a schedule, finding a place or saving a location. Gemini Intelligence enables users to move from a request to a completed task with fewer steps. Users can describe what they need or add screen and image context. App automation now works across 49 supported applications and services, supporting tasks such as finding a restaurant, making a reservation, looking up tickets or continuing an existing booking flow. Notebooks in Gemini can collect notes, images and recordings before organising them into meeting summaries, visual summaries and other structured documents. Security and Privacy Built into the Experience As Galaxy AI becomes more personal and capable, users need greater visibility into how their data is used, what AI is doing on their behalf and how they can control those experiences. The new Galaxy Z series combines multi-layered security, on-device personalisation and expanded privacy controls across Galaxy AI. Samsung Knox protects every Galaxy device from the chip level up, through a multi-layered security approach that includes user-controlled cloud processing and ecosystem-wide protection through Samsung Knox Matrix. Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection creates encrypted, app-specific storage environments and Knox Vault adds a tamper-resistant physical layer for sensitive information to keep personal data secure while giving users clearer choice over how AI features operate. One UI 9 introduces an AI Assistant Activity dashboard that provides a central view of AI automations. Users can review AI actions in one place, move directly to the relevant agent for additional context and adjust settings where needed. Enhanced Privacy Alerts notify users about potential privacy risks, including unnecessary attempts to access background permissions. These updates are designed to make AI not only more capable but also more understandable and controllable by providing greater transparency, stronger protections and clearer user choices. Getting Started with the New Galaxy Z series For those moving from iOS to Galaxy, the updated Smart Switch makes migration easier than ever. By scanning a QR code on their current iPhone, users can wirelessly transfer data without downloading additional apps. With Quick Share's new AirDrop compatibility, sharing files between iOS and Galaxy devices is now seamless in both directions. Price and Availability: Pre-order Offers: *30M | 0 is available with select NBFC partners: Samsung Finance+, TVS Credit, IDFC First Bank & PFL.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8 is only a slightly better clamchell foldable than the last one

The Galaxy Z Flip 8 costs $100 more than last year for a slimmer body, new chip, and more AI features Samsung has launched the Galaxy Z Flip 8 alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and the considerably more expensive Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra. The latest clamshell foldable looks very familiar, although the company has managed to shave down the body and squeeze more AI features onto the cover screen. At 180 grams and 6.1mm thick when unfolded, the Galaxy Z Flip 8 is Samsung's lightest and slimmest Flip phone yet. It measures 13.1mm when folded, while the 4.1-inch FlexWindow and 6.9-inch main display retain the same sizes as last year. The FlexWindow is doing more of the work Samsung is once again pitching the cover screen as the star of the Flip experience. The FlexWindow can show apps, shortcuts, Now Brief cards, and contextual actions, allowing users to check information or complete certain tasks without unfolding the phone. Recommended Videos Now Brief is getting more personalized recommendations, customizable cards, and security alerts. Now Nudge, which Samsung introduced along with the Galaxy S26 series, is also onboard the foldable and can recognize when a conversation is turning into a plan and suggest actions such as checking a schedule, finding a place, or saving a location. Gemini Intelligence can be activated from the FlexWindow using the side key or a voice request. Samsung says it can now automate actions across more than 40 apps and services, including checking tickets, finding nearby restaurants, and making reservations. Since the phone comes with One UI 9, users can check what AI agents have done on their behalf through the AI Assistant Activity dashboard. The clamshell phone still offers Camcorder mode with the zoom rocker feature. FlipShot and Mirror View features are also present to make further use of the cover screen for selfies and quick appearance checks. One new addition here is that the wide and ultra-wide cameras can now use Horizontal Lock in Super Steady mode to keep video level. The core hardware is still very familiar Once the AI features are out of the way, the Galaxy Z Flip 8 starts looking far less ambitious. It keeps the same camera setup as its predecessor, including a 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide, and 10MP selfie camera. The 6.9-inch AMOLED display still offers an adaptive 120Hz refresh rate, although peak brightness has increased from 2,600 nits to 3,000 nits. The IP48 water-resistance rating also carries over from last year. Performance should improve more meaningfully thanks to the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy, paired with 12GB of RAM and either 256GB or 512GB of storage. However, Samsung has made no improvements to the 4,300mAh battery or charging speeds, which remain limited to 25W wired and 15W wireless. Since the phone is also more expensive this year, buyers will have to decide whether a faster processor, slimmer body, and new AI features are enough to justify the upgrade. The Galaxy Z Flip 8 starts at $1,199.99 in the US, making it $100 more expensive than its predecessor at launch. Pricing stands at €1,299 in Europe and £1,149 in the UK. Preorders begin July 22, followed by general availability on August 7. Samsung will offer the phone in Pink, Graphite, Cream, and Mint.

Samsung Launches Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8 in India with AI Upgrade

Samsung has launched the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Galaxy Z Flip 8 in India with slimmer designs, flagship processors, AI features, upgraded displays and improved durability. Samsung launched the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Galaxy Z Flip 8 devices in India on Wednesday, offering improved designs and enhanced performance with additional AI capabilities. The company launched these new foldable smartphones in the Indian market during the Galaxy Unpacked Event in London and is now taking advance orders. Samsung's new foldable phones are designed to be portable but still offer flagship-level performance. In contrast to the Galaxy Z Fold 8, which has an enlarged 'passport-style' design to make the device easier to hold in one hand, the Galaxy Z Flip 8 combines the compact clamshell design with a larger, more functional cover display and a lightweight body.
