HOT New Product: Galaxy Z Fold8 (First "Wide Fold" Large Screen)

• Form Factor Breakthrough: Features a new 4:3 ratio 7.6-inch inner screen and a 16:10 ratio 5.5-inch horizontal outer screen, moving away from the overly tall and narrow feel. When folded, it feels more like a standard small-screen phone.
• Ultra-Thin and Light: At just 4.5mm thick when unfolded and weighing only 201g, it sets a new standard for lightness in large-screen foldables.
• Performance: Powered by the third/fifth generation Snapdragon 8 Elite (For Galaxy) chipset, with 12GB of RAM standard.

Galaxy Z Flip 8 (Clamshell Foldable)

Continuing the compact and elegant pocket-sized design, the chip is upgraded to a custom Snapdragon 8 Elite (some markets may use the Exynos 2600). While maintaining its stylish look, it significantly optimizes the outer screen's interactive components and AI assistant experience.

Beyond hardware, Galaxy AI was a core focus of the presentation. The new One UI 9.1, based on Android 17, brings the following key AI experience upgrades:

• Deep Natural Language Understanding: No need to remember exact system settings names. Use natural language like "make the screen less harsh on my eyes" or "find the photo I took at the cafe last time" to perform cross-app actions.
• Photo Assistant and Creative Studio: AI object removal and compositing are more natural. Supports generating multi-scene stickers and image restoration from commands, such as one-tap recovery of image completeness.
• Seamless Cross-Device Connectivity: The AI agent on your phone can work more intuitively with your watch and earbuds, acting as a personalized daily assistant.
