The new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8 rethinks the cover screen experience, allowing users to run full Android apps on the outer display without unfolding the device. Samsung has streamlined access to app drawers and settings, making the 4-inch cover screen behave much more like a standard smartphone interface.
While the hardware updates are minimal—featuring a slightly thinner and lighter chassis—the software shift is profound. However, with a $100 price increase and the same camera and battery specs as last year, it remains a device targeted primarily at foldables enthusiasts rather than recent upgraders.
- Run any app on the 4-inch cover screen
- Slightly thinner and lighter hardware design
- Identical cameras and battery capacity to the previous model
- Price increased by $100 to $1,199
