Samsung’s new foldables were announced at Galaxy Unpacked, and despite their vastly different form factors, the Galaxy Z Flip 8, Z Fold 8, and Z Fold 8 Ultra all share one crucial component: Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip.
That’s a big deal. Last year, Samsung opted for its in-house Exynos 2500 chipset on the Z Flip 7 while saving Qualcomm’s flagship silicon for the Z Fold 7. This year’s rollout puts all three foldable contenders on even ground — and after putting them through a full suite of benchmark tests, I can tell you they’re easily the most powerful foldables to ever pass through the Tom’s Guide labs.
