Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 vs Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8

Pick the Z Fold 7 if you want one device that works as a phone and a small tablet: the 8-inch inner screen, 200MP main camera and 12GB RAM handle split-screen work, video and photos that the Flip cannot match. Pick the Z Flip 8 if you want a normal-size phone that folds small: it weighs 180g, fits a pocket, and its 4.1-inch cover screen handles notifications and selfies without opening it. The Fold is the more capable and more expensive-feeling device, but it is heavier, thicker when folded and has a smaller cover screen; the Flip is the easier everyday carry, with a shorter camera list and a smaller battery. Owners of the Fold praise the big screen and brightness; Flip owners praise the hinge, the crease and the pocketability, with a few noting average speakers.

• Choose the Galaxy Z Fold 7 if you multitask, edit photos or watch a lot of video and want a tablet-sized screen in your pocket.
• Choose the Galaxy Z Flip 8 if you want a compact phone that folds in half, with a useful cover screen for quick tasks.
