Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8

Chigz Tech Score: 94/100

UK release. Official Samsung specifications. Benchmark results are representative reviewer/database results; AnTuTu 11 currently has limited sample data.

Chigz verdict: Samsung's most practical Fold yet: exceptionally light and pocketable with a brilliant wide foldable display, flagship performance and much better battery life. The main compromise at this price is the complete lack of a telephoto camera.

Key specifications

Chipset: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy
Main Display Size: 7.6-inch
Battery Capacity: 4,800mAh
Main Camera: 50MP wide, f/1.8, OIS

Pros

Lightweight 201g passport-style design is exceptionally pocket friendly
Excellent 7.6-inch 120Hz anti-reflective display with a much less visible crease
Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy delivers superb gaming and multitasking performance
4,800mAh silicon-carbon battery, 45W charging and strong all-day endurance

Cons

No telephoto camera on a £1,699 flagship foldable
IP48 protection still means limited dust resistance
No S Pen support and Qi2 magnets are not built into the phone
Still very expensive despite being cheaper than the Ultra
