## Key points

- Battery life and charging speeds are modest.
- Skip the upgrade if you own a Z Flip7.

## Summary

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip8 is a refined, compact folding phone, with a slimmer and lighter design and a less noticeable crease. Its strong performance and practical pocket-sized form make it a contender for people curious about foldable phones, but the small upgrades and higher price mean it is not a compelling update for Z Flip7 owners.

The phone weighs 8 grams less and is 0.55 millimetres slimmer than its predecessor, and adds a newer processor with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Its 4.1-inch outer and 6.9-inch inner displays are unchanged; battery life is average, charging is slow, and the camera is capable but not class-leading. The article gives no full price, but says the Flip8 costs $100 more than the previous model.
