Samsung's 16GB configuration is compelling for power users, but Apple's chip could make the Duo the more exciting performance proposition.
Samsung packs a 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging, 20W wireless charging, and 4.5W reverse wireless charging.
That combination gives the Fold 8 a clear hardware advantage for users who prioritize charging flexibility and battery capacity.
The iPhone Duo uses a Li-Ion battery with 50% charging in around 20 minutes through wired charging, while MagSafe and Qi2 wireless charging reach 25W.
Apple does not provide a stated capacity here, making direct capacity comparisons difficult.
Samsung looks more versatile, although Apple's charging ecosystem remains more polished.
The Galaxy Z Fold 8 wins on battery capacity and charging flexibility, but the iPhone Duo looks stronger for raw performance thanks to its A20 Pro chip.
On cameras, the iPhone Duo pairs a 48MP wide sensor with a 48MP ultrawide, while the Fold 8 uses 50MP wide and 50MP ultrawide sensors.
Apple is credited with stronger creator-focused video features and stabilization, including up to 4K 120fps, Dolby Vision, ProRes, and spatial video.
Samsung supports up to 8K 30fps and 4K 120fps, while its selfie setup uses a 10MP inner camera and a 10MP cover camera.
The iPhone Duo uses an under-display inner camera plus a 12MP cover camera, creating a cleaner inner-screen experience.
For productivity, the Fold 8 runs One UI 9 with Samsung DeX and S Pen support, while the iPhone Duo relies on iOS 27 multitasking.
Both phones offer Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and UWB, but Apple adds satellite connectivity features.
Pricing is a major dividing line: the iPhone Duo is priced around $2,000 or ₹3,00,000, while the Galaxy Z Fold 8 is priced around $1,900 or ₹1,80,000.
Samsung offers broader functionality at a significantly lower price, making the Fold 8 the better overall balance of price, productivity, and versatility.
The iPhone Duo stands out as a premium Apple foldable with powerful hardware and ecosystem integration, while the Galaxy Z Fold 8 remains a more mature productivity-focused foldable with better value.
Specs are based on available data, and actual performance may vary.
