Galaxy Z Fold8 is considered the solution to Samsung's experience problem. Over the years, many people have complained that the Fold's external secondary screen is too narrow, while the 8-inch main screen when opened is too large and difficult to operate flexibly.

The Z Fold8 uses a 7.6-inch main screen that fits better with a 4:3 ratio, while the 5.5-inch external screen has a 10:16 ratio.

The product offers an easier experience of holding and using one hand with an external screen than existing versions on the market. As for the internal screen, the 4:3 ratio is suitable for many tasks from reading documents, browsing the web, editing photos to watching videos. Users are not annoyed by two large black streaks on the screen like on traditional folding models.

When held vertically, the screen ratio of the device resembles a mini tablet, so the content is displayed more fully and comfortably than a traditional folding smartphone.

Samsung still uses Dynamic AMOLED 2X panels, 2K resolution, 120 Hz refresh rate and 3,000 nit brightness for the device. Similar to the Z Fold8 Ultra, the fold on the device almost disappears and is only visible when exposed to strong light or certain tilt angles. Water resistance remains at IPX8 level and is not dust resistant.

Galaxy Z Fold8 is equipped with 2 rear cameras, including main camera and super wide angle with 50 megapixel resolution. In particular, the main camera is still capable of capturing 2x optical zoom. Selfie cameras on both screens reach 10 megapixels.

An interesting point about the Z Fold8 is that, due to the main screen ratio of the device, when holding the camera horizontally, the camera will record or take pictures in vertical format. If you want to shoot horizontally, the user must turn the camera vertically.

Photo and video editing features on the Galaxy Z 2026 series have been greatly upgraded. First is Photo Assist, AI automatically analyzes the image the user selects and suggests editing commands, instead of entering it itself as before.

Next is the Fan Cam feature, when recording a video of a group of people or a concert, when needing to adjust the video to focus on a single person, the user just needs to click to select and AI automatically cuts into a segment focusing only on that subject at the rate the user wants.
