The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8 is powered by the Exynos 2600 (2nm) processor, paired with 12GB of RAM. The 2nm architecture also delivers a significant boost in performance and power efficiency.

The chip is designed to handle tasks that put a lot of pressure on a phone’s processor, such as:

• Running Galaxy AI features directly on the device, including on the FlexWindow cover screen before the phone is even opened

• Capturing and processing high-resolution photos and video smoothly, even in low light

• Keeping multiple apps responsive without drawing unnecessary power

The 2nm architecture also means the processor does more while using less energy, which contributes to the Flip8’s all-day battery life.

Yes, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8 is 5G-enabled. It is compatible with Vodafone’s 5G+, which means faster downloads, smoother streaming, more responsive video calls, and better performance in busy areas where 4G can slow down.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8 is equipped with a 4,300mAh battery, offering reliable all-day performance for most users, and is designed to keep up with a full day of calls, browsing, camera use, and AI-powered features without needing a mid-day top-up.

No, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8 doesn’t come with a charger. Samsung’s current packaging approach keeps the box compact, so while the USB-C cable is included, you’ll need to purchase a compatible charger independently.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8 has two displays: the main display and a cover display, which, when folded, is referred to as FlexWindow. Main display:

• Size: 6.9 inches – a full-size screen that unfolds from a pocketable form factor. The proportions feel natural to hold and use one-handed

• Resolution: 2,520 x 1,080 (FHD+) – at this density, text and images look sharp and detailed without visible pixelation

• Refresh rate: 1–120Hz, adjusts automatically – the screen updates up to 120 times per second when scrolling or interacting. It drops to a lower rate when the display is static, helping to preserve battery life

• Peak brightness: 2,600 nits – the display stays readable even in direct sunlight

• Bezels: slimmer than previous Flip models, making the display feel more immersive when open

FlexWindow (cover display):

• Size: 4.1 inches Super AMOLED – a meaningfully larger and more functional cover screen than earlier Flip generations

• Resolution: 948 x 1,048 – clear enough to read notifications, reply to messages, and interact with widgets at a glance

• Refresh rate: 60/120Hz – responsive to touch and smooth when navigating the cover screen interface

• Fully customisable – wallpapers and widgets can be set independently of the main screen, so you can personalise what you see without opening the phone

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8 has a three-camera system: a 50MP wide main camera, a 12MP ultra-wide, and a 10MP front-facing camera, with up to 10x digital zoom. All cameras are enhanced by the ProVisual Engine and AI ISP for sharp detail, accurate skin tones, and natural face rendering.

FlexCam also makes the most of the foldable design – open the phone to 90 degrees, and it becomes a hands-free stand for selfies or long-form video. Super Steady video with Horizontal Lock keeps recordings smooth on the move, and improved Nightography keeps images crisp with reduced noise in low-light conditions.

Rear cameras:

• Wide (main): 50MP, f/1.8, Dual Pixel AF – the primary camera captures detailed shots in a wide range of lighting. The large aperture helps in lower light, and Dual Pixel autofocus locks on to subjects quickly

• Ultra-wide: 12MP, f/2.2, 123° field of view – useful for group shots, architecture, and scenes where a wider perspective is needed

• Digital zoom: up to 10x – allows you to close in on distant subjects without switching lenses

Front camera:

• 10MP, f/2.2 – a fixed-focus sensor sized for selfies and video calls

Yes, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8 is deeply integrated with Galaxy AI. A standout feature is Now Brief, which learns your habits and surfaces personalised, bite-sized insights and timely notifications throughout your day, such as your boarding pass before a trip or reminders about what you have that afternoon, all visible directly on the FlexWindow before you even open the phone.

Google Gemini is also built into the FlexWindow experience. Just long-press the side button and speak a command, whether that is booking a table, getting directions, or drafting a message, and it handles the task instantly. The camera system benefits from AI too, and Photo Assist adds a final touch, giving your images a quick, social-ready polish after the shot is taken.

Yes, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8 is dual SIM compatible. It can support a nanoSIM with an eSIM, or two eSIMs.

This can be useful for keeping two separate phone numbers, such as a personal and a work number, or for use while travelling. Learn more about our SIM only deals

Yes, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8 supports eSIM. The Flip8 can support up to two eSIMs, which means it requires no physical SIM card.

An eSIM can be activated remotely, offering flexibility: you only need to choose your plan online and download it to your phone. Find out more about eSIM

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8 is waterproof to an extent. It has an IP48 water resistance rating, which means it can handle submersion in about 1.5 meters of freshwater for 30 minutes. This makes it resistant to splashes, rain, and accidental drops into water. However, it isn’t recommended for use at the beach or in the pool, as the IP48 rating doesn’t cover protection against saltwater, sand, or chlorinated water.

No, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8 doesn’t use an S Pen. S Pen support is a feature reserved for specific Samsung devices in the Note and Ultra range, such as the Galaxy S26 Ultra or the S25 Ultra

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8 is covered by Samsung’s seven-year support commitment. This means it will receive up to seven years of Android OS upgrades and security updates from the date of release. In practical terms, this means:

• Your phone will be updated to new versions of Android as they become available, bringing new features and improvements over time

• Security patches will be delivered regularly to protect the device against new vulnerabilities

• The phone is designed to remain functional and up to date well beyond the typical two-to-three-year upgrade cycle

Both the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8 and the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra are foldable phones, but they take different approaches to the foldable form factor and their everyday use:

• The Flip8 folds vertically into a compact, pocket-sized smartphone and is built for self-expression and everyday creativity

• The Z Fold8 Ultra unfolds horizontally into two full phone-sized screens side by side, purpose-built for multitasking and productivity

Key differences across some main areas:

• Form factor: The Flip8 folds down to 85.5 x 75.2 x 13.1mm – small enough to slip into a front pocket. The Fold8 Ultra opens outward, giving two full screens of usable space but a larger footprint

• Size and weight: The Flip8 is Samsung’s thinnest and lightest Galaxy Flip ever at 6.1mm and 180g. The Fold8 Ultra is larger and heavier, reflecting its bigger screens and battery

• Chipset: The Fold8 Ultra uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy. The Flip8 uses the Exynos 2600 (2nm), which is exclusive to the Flip8 in this range

• Camera: Both have a 50MP main camera. The Fold8 Ultra adds a dedicated 3x telephoto lens. The Flip8 focuses its camera experience on FlexCam, using the fold itself as a hands-free stand for selfies and video

• Battery and charging: The Fold8 Ultra has a larger 5,000mAh battery and faster 45W superfast charging. The Flip8 has a 4,300mAh battery and charges at 25W

• Storage: The Fold8 Ultra is available in higher storage configurations. The Flip8 comes in 256GB and 512GB
