Samsung's new foldables adapt to how we use phones

Samsung is promoting its eighth-generation foldable smartphones, the Galaxy Z Fold8 and Fold8 Ultra, with redesigned shapes and screen ratios aimed at adapting to modern phone usage. The devices feature larger displays and AI-powered tools. The Galaxy Z Fold8 is shorter and wider than standard phones, with a 7.6-inch main display for media and multitasking. The Ultra model adds a 200MP camera and enhanced split-screen functionality, both powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor with Google Gemini and Galaxy AI. Samsung cites research showing 85% of Europeans finish tasks on bigger devices after starting on phones, and 70% want foldable flexibility. Apple is expected to enter the foldable market in 2026, while Samsung refines its existing lineup.
