Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold8, and Galaxy Z Flip8 as a three-device foldable lineup built around Ultra productivity, immersive discovery, and self-expression. The Galaxy Z series announcement sets pre-orders at major carriers and retailers, with general availability starting August 7, 2026.
Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra brings Galaxy's Ultra standard to foldables, aiming maximum productivity and content creation at a larger workspace. Samsung positions that model for demanding workloads that mix heavier multitasking, creation, and AI-powered tasks.
Multitasking is framed as easier on the large screens of Fold8 and Fold8 Ultra, while Flip8's AI-native FlexWindow keeps information and shortcuts within reach.
Flex Titanium is a new titanium-based display structure Samsung says is designed to help make foldables thinner while maintaining durability. Across the new Galaxy Z series, the company ties display engineering to slimmer designs, greater durability, and more seamless viewing.
Fold8's form factor is meant to move users from quick cover-screen interactions to deeper viewing, reading, and gaming on the main display.
Display ratios on Galaxy Z Fold8 are described as built around how people naturally consume content through the day. Samsung says those ratios help the phone feel more immersive for quick check-ins and longer sessions alike.
Intuitive ratios and long-lasting performance are presented as ways to get more from content, stories, and ideas on that model.
At 201 g, Galaxy Z Fold8 is Samsung's lightest Galaxy Z Fold yet. It pairs the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform for Galaxy with a 4,800 mAh battery.
When folded, the cover screen's 10:16 aspect ratio is described as providing a familiar experience for browsing short-form content.
Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra carries a larger 5,000 mAh battery in a slimmer foldable design Samsung says can support a full day of work, creation, and entertainment. An expanded graphite cooling structure is engineered for improved thermal conductivity so heat dissipates more effectively during demanding tasks.
A dual-path charging architecture with 45W fast charging is introduced to distribute power more efficiently for faster, more stable charging.
Fold8's dual 50 MP cameras are specified for consistent high-resolution detail across wide and ultra-wide perspectives. Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra starts at $2,099.99, €2,199.00, or £1,899.00, and Galaxy Z Fold8 starts at $1,899.99, €1,999.00, or £1,699.00.
Both Fold models offer 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB storage options, with memory configurations that include 12GB RAM on lower tiers and 16GB RAM on 1TB models, and available storage subject to preloaded software.
Galaxy Z Flip8 starts at $1,199.99, €1,299.00, or £1,149.00 and comes in 256GB and 512GB options with 12GB RAM. Pre-orders run through Amazon.com, AT&T, Best Buy, Samsung Experience Stores, Samsung.com, T-Mobile, Verizon, and more.
