What reviewers say

Reviewers agree it is thin, light and well made, with bright screens, a more useful cover screen and fast performance. The common complaints are how little has changed from the Z Flip7, unchanged cameras and a higher launch price; GSMArena and Notebookcheck found the chip throttles heavily, and Notebookcheck and Android Central criticised slow charging.
