iPhone Duo Tops Galaxy Z Fold 8 in New Comparison Despite $1,999 Price and Sellout

Summary
$1,999 iPhone Duo was judged the better overall foldable in a new head-to-head, beating Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 on battery life, performance, cameras and durability.
Benchmarks and testing drove that verdict: the Duo hit 4,007/11,363 in Geekbench, lasted 13 hours 20 minutes versus 10:06 for the Z Fold 8, and carries an IP68 rating against Samsung’s IP48.
Samsung still held key advantages in software and practicality, with stronger multitasking, DeX desktop mode, slightly better AI scores, a thinner 201g design and a lower $1,899 starting price.
Availability may shape buying decisions more than specs for now, because the iPhone Duo is sold out across carriers and retailers until at least late November, while the Z Fold 8 is in stock and already discounted.
