Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8 Features & Specifications

Design & Build

The Galaxy Z Flip 8 is Samsung's thinnest and lightest Flip to date, weighing 180 grams and measuring 6.1mm thick when unfolded, about 8 grams lighter than the Galaxy Z Flip 7. It uses an Armor Aluminum frame with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protecting the cover screen, and Samsung has redesigned the Armor FlexHinge with a wider inner bezel gap, so the phone opens more smoothly. It carries an IP48 rating for dust and water resistance and is available in Graphite, Cream and Pink, with an online-exclusive Mint colorway.

FlexWindow & Display

Unfolded, the Galaxy Z Flip 8 has a 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display running at an adaptive 1-120Hz refresh rate. The real story is the 4.1-inch FlexWindow cover screen, which now works as an AI-native interface rather than a simple notifications panel. Widgets, quick replies, and Galaxy AI features like Now Brief are all accessible without unfolding the phone, and Vision Booster keeps the screen readable outdoors.

Galaxy AI Features

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8 runs Samsung's newest Galaxy AI suite directly from the FlexWindow. That includes Gemini Live for hands-free help, Circle to Search, Live Translate and Interpreter, Writing Assist and Note Assist, Photo Assist and Generative Edit for touching up photos, and Audio Eraser for cleaning up video audio. Now Brief surfaces your day's weather, schedule, and notifications straight from the cover screen, and Gemini Intelligence can complete simple connected actions through the side key.

Performance

In markets where it ships with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy, the Flip 8 gets the same flagship-tier CPU and GPU improvements as the Fold 8 series. In other regions, including much of the Gulf, it runs Samsung's own Exynos 2600, a 2nm chip that also powers the Galaxy S26 line, delivering smooth day-to-day performance, efficient multitasking, and solid gaming performance without much heat buildup.

Camera System

The rear camera setup carries over familiar resolutions with real improvements underneath: a 50MP main sensor with OIS, paired with a 12MP ultra-wide lens, and a 10MP selfie camera on the main display. Flex Mode lets you prop the phone at an angle for hands-free photos and videos, Camcorder Grip with a Zoom Rocker makes filming on the move more comfortable, and Super Steady video now includes a Horizontal Lock option for steadier footage.

Battery & Charging

The Galaxy Z Flip 8 carries a 4,300mAh battery, the same capacity as its predecessor, with 25W wired charging, 15W wireless charging and Wireless PowerShare for topping up accessories like earbuds directly from the phone.

Software, Security & Connectivity

The phone ships with Android 17 and One UI 9, with Samsung Knox handling on-device security and Samsung Wallet built in for payments. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC and USB Type-C, and Samsung DeX support lets you connect to an external display when you need a bigger screen for work.
