Today marks the official start of shipping for the iPhone Duo, but unless you pre-order one, you’ll have to wait a while for a unit to become available. While you wait, you can take a look at what Samsung has to offer.
THE Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 is the only other large foldable on the US market. Motorola reportedly has something in the works, but it will be months before we see it. Google has never been quick to launch new models, so we don’t expect a large Pixel anytime soon.

Regardless, the iPhone Duo starts at $2,000 for a 256GB model. The Z Fold8, meanwhile, has a lower starting price and a $200 discount, making it a total of $300 cheaper.
The Galaxy is thinner (9.7mm vs. 11.3mm) and much lighter (201g vs. 254g) while offering a similar cover screen (5.5″ vs. 5.4″) and inner screen (both 7.6″ with similar aspect ratios). They also have almost identical battery capacities (4,800 mAh vs 4,883 mAh), so endurance will depend on the efficiency of the chipset – it This is a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for the Galaxy and an Apple A20 Pro for the Duo. Both phones lack dedicated telephoto lenses, offering only two 50MP and two 48MP modules respectively.
Samsung also offers a larger foldable format, the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra. Here is a detailed comparison between the Z Fold8 and the Z Fold8 Ultra. We also have a video pitting the two Z phones against each other.
