Samsung is gearing up to unveil its latest foldable smartphone, the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, during the Galaxy Unpacked event scheduled for July 22, 2026, in London. As the launch date approaches, detailed specifications and features of this premium device have begun to circulate.
Design and Display Enhancements
The Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra is expected to take the top spot in Samsung's foldable lineup. Unlike the standard Galaxy Z Fold8, which is rumored to feature a shorter and wider design, the Ultra variant will maintain the tall and narrow form factor that is characteristic of the Galaxy Z Fold series. However, it is anticipated that the device will be slimmer and lighter in comparison to its predecessors.
According to sources, the device will have a thickness of approximately 4.5 mm when opened and weigh between 200 to 215 grams, making it potentially lighter than previous models. The external display will feature a 6.5-inch AMOLED screen with a 120 Hz refresh rate, while the internal display will boast an 8-inch Dynamic AMOLED screen with a resolution of about 2,504 x 2,256 pixels. The internal display is rumored to support an adaptive refresh rate ranging from 1 to 120 Hz and achieve a peak brightness of up to 3,600 nits.
Camera Upgrades
One of the most significant enhancements expected in the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra is in its camera capabilities. The device is rumored to come equipped with a triple-camera setup on the rear, led by a 200 MP main camera. This will be complemented by a 50 MP ultra-wide camera and a 10 MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom capability. Additionally, it is speculated that the device will include a 10 MP selfie camera on both the outer and inner screens.
The Ultra variant is also expected to support video recording in 8K at 30 frames per second. Various features powered by Galaxy AI are anticipated to assist users in capturing and editing photos and videos more efficiently.
Performance and Battery Life
Under the hood, the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra is predicted to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy chipset. This will be paired with up to 16 GB of RAM and internal storage options reaching 1 TB. The configuration with 1 TB storage is expected to come equipped with 16 GB of RAM, designed to handle multitasking, gaming, and content processing seamlessly.
A major boost is also anticipated in battery capacity, with the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra rumored to feature a 5,000 mAh battery, a notable increase from the 4,400 mAh battery found in the Galaxy Z Fold7. This larger battery is expected to support up to 27 hours of video playback. Furthermore, Samsung is reportedly enhancing wired charging capabilities to 45W and improving wireless charging speeds, although these specifications remain to be officially confirmed.
Software and Additional Features
The device is expected to run on One UI 9 based on Android 16, enhanced with the latest generation of Galaxy AI that offers improved contextual understanding and allows users to perform more complex tasks with fewer commands. The large display of the Fold8 Ultra is anticipated to enhance productivity and multitasking capabilities.
Reports also suggest that the device will support the S Pen and include improved durability against water and dust. Integration with other devices within the Galaxy ecosystem is expected to be a key feature as well.
Pricing for the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra is speculated to start at around 2,199 Euros, which is approximately 39.5 million IDR. This price reflects an increase of about 100 Euros compared to the previous generation, attributed to enhanced specifications and component costs. Samsung is said to be preparing around two million units of the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, a number that is lower than that of the standard Galaxy Z Fold8, highlighting the Ultra's premium positioning and more targeted market reach.
The accuracy of these leaks will be confirmed during the Galaxy Unpacked event in London on July 22, 2026. The launch event is set to commence at 8:00 PM WIB and will be streamed live on Samsung's official website and YouTube channel.
