Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8 with 4.1" FlexWindow and Galaxy AI
The Galaxy Z Flip8 is the most refined version of Samsung's pocket foldable to date. Folded, it measures just 13.1mm and weighs 180g — the thinnest and lightest Flip Samsung has made — and it opens into a 6.9-inch FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with an adaptive 1-120Hz refresh rate. UK and Irish models run Samsung's new 2nm Exynos 2600 processor with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, finished here in Cream.
The 4.1-inch FlexWindow cover screen is what changes how you use it. Notifications, replies, Samsung Wallet, Now Brief and even Gemini all run on the outside of the closed phone, and the 50MP main camera doubles as a selfie camera with a full FlexWindow preview. It ships on Android 17 with One UI 9 and is backed by up to seven years of OS and security updates.
The Cover Screen That Does Almost Everything
At 4.1 inches and up to 120Hz, the FlexWindow is no longer a notification ticker — it is a working screen. Now Brief surfaces your day at a glance, Notification Highlights condenses what came in while you were away, and Gemini answers from the side key without the phone ever leaving its folded state.
It is also the viewfinder. Because the FlexWindow previews the main camera, your selfies use the 50MP OIS sensor rather than a lesser front camera — one of the quiet advantages a flip foldable holds over a normal slab phone.
FlexCam Photography
The 50MP main camera uses Dual Pixel autofocus and optical image stabilisation, backed by a 12MP ultra-wide with a 123-degree field of view. Half-fold the phone and FlexCam turns it into its own tripod for hands-free group shots, timelapses and video calls.
Video records at up to 4K 60fps front and rear, and Galaxy AI tools like Audio Eraser strip wind and background noise out of clips after the fact.
