The Samsung Galaxy Fold 8 features a wider body and a 4:3 aspect ratio display

The Samsung Galaxy Fold 8 introduces a wider form factor compared to its predecessor, shifting to a 4:3 aspect ratio that provides a more traditional tablet-like experience for content consumption. This design change reduces the presence of black bars when viewing videos and improves the usability of the outer screen. The device is powered by the Snapdragon Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy processor, which includes a 100MHz overclock, and is available with 12GB or 16GB of RAM depending on the storage configuration. The camera system consists of a 50MP main sensor and a 50MP ultra-wide sensor, both featuring fast apertures. While the device lacks a third telephoto lens, it supports 2x crop-in zoom and 4x digital zoom. The phone features a titanium flex layer and a more durable hinge, resulting in a less visible crease. It supports 45W wired charging and 20W wireless charging, with an optional case required for MagSafe-style magnetic attachment. The device is available in four colors, including an online-exclusive pistachio option.
