Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge vs Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8

Our Verdict: If you are choosing between Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8, portability is the main reason to lean one way. The S25 Edge has a sharper 513 PPI display, its Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel, and a higher-resolution 200MP rear camera; the Z Flip8 mainly responds with its Foldable Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X panel and a larger 4,300 mAh battery. A bigger mAh figure is useful context, but real battery life still depends on software and chipset efficiency. The S25 Edge is the better fit for portability, while the Z Flip8 is the one to consider for display quality.

The S25 Edge is the cheaper one to own: around £515 over a typical contract, £320 less than the Z Flip8.
