Expert Overview
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 answers the biggest user request: it finally has a built-in slot for the S Pen. Despite this, it is thinner than the previous model thanks to a new hinge mechanism. The outer screen is wider (21:9 aspect ratio), feeling just like a normal phone. The Under Display Camera (UDC) on the inside is now virtually invisible. It is the ultimate productivity machine.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Does it have an S Pen slot?
Yes! Finally, the S Pen is stored inside the phone body like the S26 Ultra.
Q2: Is the front screen normal size?
Yes, it is now wider (6.4 inches), so typing feels natural without opening the phone.
Q3: Is the crease visible?
It is significantly flatter and harder to notice than the Fold 6/7.
Q4: Is it dust proof?
Yes, IP48 rating means it is protected against solid objects/dust (>1mm).
Q5: How good is the inner camera?
The Under Display Camera is much improved; you can barely see the pixels covering it.
Q6: Is it heavy?
235g is heavy for a phone, but light for a tablet-phone hybrid.
Q7: Does it have a good zoom?
It has a 3x optical zoom, which is decent, but not as extreme as the S26 Ultra's 10x.
Q8: Can I run 3 apps at once?
Yes, One UI allows you to run 3 apps in split screen + floating windows.
Q9: How fast is charging?
Still 45W wired charging.
Q10: Is the battery good?
4600mAh is decent, but the big screen consumes power. Expect one day of use.
