Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8 review

The Galaxy Z Flip8 is the most pocketable phone on this list. Samsung lists it at 180 g and 13.1 mm thick when folded, and it opens to a 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen at 1 to 120 Hz. The 4.1-inch FlexWindow on the outside runs apps, shows Now Brief summaries and gives access to Gemini through the side key or by voice, so many quick tasks never require opening the phone. Inside is Samsung's Exynos 2600 with 12 GB of RAM and either 256 GB or 512 GB of storage. The rear pairs a 50 MP wide camera with a 12 MP ultra-wide. Battery and charging are the weak spots: the 4,300 mAh typical battery and 25W wired charging both trail Motorola's flips. At $1,199.99 it costs $100 more than the razr+ 2026, but it brings Samsung's update program and Galaxy Watch integration, which matter if you already own Samsung gear.
