The world’s lightest book-style foldable smartphone brings a 7.6-inch display and Galaxy AI to work, creativity and entertainment in a 201-gram design
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – From a quick message to content worth spending more time with, the way people use their phones changes throughout the day. With Galaxy Z Fold8, Samsung Electronics brings those needs together in the world’s lightest book-style foldable smartphone. Weighing 201 grams, it combines an expansive screen for work and entertainment with a portable design, giving users more room to get things done and enjoy their content wherever they go.
The experience begins with a 5.5-inch cover display for messages, browsing and short videos while the phone is closed. Unfolding reveals a 7.6-inch main display with a 4:3 aspect ratio suited to reading, gaming and films. Users can choose the view that fits their content, whether they are browsing during a short wait or settling into an e-book while travelling.
That extra space becomes especially useful when a task involves more than one app. When planning a trip, for example, users can keep a conversation open alongside a booking page to review options and share details with their travel companions. Multi Window displays supported apps side by side, keeping relevant information in view while users write or compare options, subject to app compatibility.
Galaxy AI helps users take the next step within what they are already doing. Now Nudge offers suggestions based on the content on screen, such as opening the calendar to add an appointment. When a suggestion appears on the main display, tapping it opens the next action in split view, keeping the conversation or content in sight while the user completes the task.
Photography is another part of the experience. The 50MP Wide and 50MP Ultra Wide rear cameras capture everyday scenes and group photos, while the larger display provides room to review details before sharing. With Photo Assist, users can describe an edit in words and compare the original and edited images side by side, reviewing the results before choosing the version they prefer.
These experiences are supported by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy processor, customised for Galaxy devices to handle graphics and AI features, alongside a battery with a typical capacity of 4,800mAh. Together, they provide the performance to move between content and apps on the larger screen. Actual battery life varies depending on settings and usage.
Portability remains central to the experience. The phone that opens to review travel options or edit a photo folds back into a compact 9.7mm-thick form. Its lightweight design makes it easy to carry between work and home or on a trip, putting the larger screen within reach when it is needed, before folding away as users get on with their day.
