Summary
$1,199.99 Galaxy Z Flip 8 debuted at Samsung Unpacked, entering the clamshell foldable race at $300 below Motorola’s Razr Ultra while keeping a 12GB/256GB base configuration.
Samsung pitches the Z Flip 8 on portability and software: a 6.35-ounce body, a nearly invisible crease, Android 17 with One UI 9, and seven years of OS and security updates.
Motorola still leads on several headline specs, with 16GB/512GB base storage, a brighter display, triple 50MP cameras, a 5,000mAh battery, and charging up to 68W wired.
Performance and battery comparisons remain incomplete because Z Flip 8 testing is still pending, leaving Samsung’s AI features and lighter design as its clearest early differentiators.
