Samsung
Galaxy Z Fold 8
The best is already here
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 brought a major overhaul for Samsung's big-screen foldable, and the Galaxy Z Fold 8 could be a more modest upgrade. It might have a larger battery, faster charging, and perhaps a "crease-less" foldable display panel. However, there's always a chance the price could go up.
Pros
- Could be powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip
- Battery life might finally get a boost with 5,000mAh capacity
- Display could be improved with crease-less design
- Build quality could get even thinner and lighter
Cons
- General design language might match Galaxy Z Fold 7
- The RAM shortage might lead to higher prices
- Still won't have the biggest battery or most durable form factor
Samsung
Galaxy Z Fold 6
For the S Pen lovers
On its merits alone, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 doesn't have much that'll help it beat the Galaxy Z Fold 8. The one exception is its support of the S Pen. If you want a phone with a stylus, this is the Samsung foldable to get. Another perk is the price, which is about $500 refurbished.
Pros
- Still has many years of upgrades left
- Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy processor is still capable
- Last Samsung foldable to support the S Pen
- Excellent deals on used and refurbished Galaxy Z Fold 6 phones
Cons
- Much thicker than Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Fold 8
- Less comfortable display aspect ratios
- Worse camera hardware; no 200MP main sensor
- Smaller battery, slow charging, no Qi2 support of any kind.
