Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 vs Oppo Find N6

EDITORIAL: After years of following Apple's lead with less innovation and more of trying to lock it's customers into the Samsung ecosystem, world's biggest phone maker is waking up again. The massive change doesn't stop with adoption of Silicone Carbon anode battery tech, it expands to new phones like this wide-fold model and the expected S27 Pro phone sometime early next year. Innovation effort is back and that's exactly what we should celebrate. The strange naming solution shouldn't confuse you - Z Fold 8 is not an upgrade of the Z Fold 7 - this is a brand new phone type in format invented by Huawei (Pura X Max, May 2026) and expected to also be adopted by Apple's first foldable phone in Sep 2026. As a first time effort, the Z Fold 8 shines with excellent build and screens and a mature software experience that includes DeX as well. But there is more good news: endurance is easily a full day and can go to proper 36hrs when the phone is used unfolded.

EDITORIAL: The N6 continues Oppo's great line of some of the best foldables. It comes with a top processor, class leading battery endurance and excellent (tho not the best) screen(s) and cameras. The stylus support makes it a real competitor to Samsung S26 Ultra and crease-less inner screen brings a bit of magic. Stylus support and multi-window support earn it 2 extra points in my list but availability is disappointingly limited.
