Editorial report
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Special technical sheet
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Special suits anyone looking for a foldable phone with a large display. The trade-offs are its 236 g weight, heavier than most phones of its time, and a 4,400 mAh battery with less capacity than almost all of them. Its format favors screen space over a lighter build and a larger battery.
The 8-inch display combines 120 Hz with a peak brightness of 2,600 nits, brighter than most phones of its time. Its 91.2% screen-to-body ratio is among the highest. A Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 works with 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage; its RAM capacity exceeds that of most phones of its time. Storage is not expandable.
For photography, the 200 MP resolution is among the highest of its time, and the telephoto camera offers 3x optical zoom, also among the best. Connectivity is better than most phones launched around the same time. The 15 W wireless charging power is better than most, while wired charging is rated at 25 W. Android 14 and IP48 and IPX8 resistance round out the listed features.
With a NeoScore of 7.8, the Galaxy Z Fold Special stands out for performance and cameras among phones of its time. It is best suited to someone who wants a foldable with a large screen, ample memory and optical zoom, and is willing to accept its weight and lower battery capacity.
