The iPhone Duo vs. Galaxy Z Fold 8: Which foldable has the edge?
How does the foldable iPhone Duo compare to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8? We've spent as much time with the devices as anyone, so let's compare.
After months of speculation, Apple unveiled the foldable iPhone Duo at its October 23 event. To get a firsthand look at the device, a senior Mashable reporter visited an Apple Park demo room following the "Surprise and Shine" keynote. The iPhone Duo competes directly with Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8, which was also on display for comparison.
In terms of cost, both phones start at a similar price point of $1,899.99. However, the iPhone Duo offers a higher storage capacity with a 2TB version priced at $3,199, whereas the Z Fold 8 does not offer such a high-capacity option.
Design-wise, the iPhone Duo impressed with its sleek, futuristic look, earning praise for its rounded corners and D-shaped outer display. In contrast, the Z Fold 8 was described as boxy and utilitarian. Both phones are exceptionally thin, with the Duo being Apple's thinnest phone at 5.2mm unfolded and the Z Fold 8 even thinner at 4.5mm. The Z Fold 8 also has a lighter weight compared to its counterpart.
When it comes to displays, the iPhone Duo and Galaxy Z Fold 8 both feature high-quality displays with advanced folding technology. The Duo boasts a 6.1-inch outer display and a 6.1-inch inner display, while the Z Fold 8 offers a 6.2-inch outer display and a 6.2-inch inner display. The absence of significant creases on both devices is a notable advantage in the foldable market.
