Samsung's latest foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Fold8, Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, and Galaxy Z Flip8, are now available, and MediaMarkt is offering a launch promotion that can save you up to €460. These devices were announced a few weeks ago but officially hit store shelves today.
The trio shares a strong emphasis on Galaxy AI features, but each model targets different users. Whether you want a tablet-like foldable, a camera powerhouse, or a compact flip phone, there's a Galaxy Z Fold8 or Flip8 for you.
Meet the Galaxy Z Fold8: A New Foldable Format
The Galaxy Z Fold8 introduces a design Samsung has never released before. When unfolded, it boasts a 7.6-inch display that's perfect for watching videos, reading, or multitasking.

Under the hood, it runs on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, the most powerful Android processor available right now. It also packs 12 GB of RAM and a dual-camera system. This phone is ideal for power users who want a large screen and top-tier performance.

Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra and Flip8: What Sets Them Apart?
While the Fold8 Ultra and Flip8 share the Galaxy AI suite, their differences are key to choosing the right one. The Fold8 Ultra likely offers a premium camera setup and possibly a larger battery, while the Flip8 appeals to those who prefer a compact, pocketable design.

All three devices come with a strong suite of AI tools, including real-time translation, photo editing, and productivity enhancements. But the form factor and specific hardware features will be the deciding factors for most buyers.
