The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 has strengthened the hinge mechanism and increased the use of aluminium in the frame to improve durability. The changes make the phone weigh about 200 grams, which makes it a little lighter than the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, which was around 215 grams. The device being lighter will be easier to carry and handle during daily use.

Earlier foldable phones often showed a visible crease (a visible line) caused by continuous bending of the screen in the middle. In the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Samsung reduces this crease by using a dual-layer ultra-thin glass design. This will create a smoother display, enhance screen strength, and also produce brighter images and more accurate colours, which can improve everyday activities such as watching videos, reading, or viewing photographs.
