By setting new standards for foldable devices, we are once again delivering a leap in premium mobile experiences while ushering in a new era of smarter AI for an ever-growing user base."
Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra: A Professional Powerhouse
For the first time, Samsung has introduced the Ultra label to its foldable line, focusing on productivity and professional content creation.

Performance is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy, supported by a 5,000 mAh silicon carbon battery with fast charging at 45W, and a larger graphite-based cooling system. Samsung has also introduced Flex Titanium technology to enhance screen durability while minimizing the visibility of creases on the foldable panel.

In terms of photography, the Galaxy Z Fold8 is equipped with a 50 MP wide camera and a 50 MP ultra-wide camera, supporting Dual Recording along with a new AI feature called My FanCam, which automatically tracks subjects and converts recordings into ready-to-share vertical videos.
For performance, it also features the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy, paired with a 4,800 mAh battery and 45W fast charging. The device offers a brightness level of up to 3,000 nits, complemented by Vision Booster and a low-reflection coating for comfortable outdoor use.

The Galaxy Z Flip8 emerges as Samsung's thinnest and lightest Flip model ever, measuring only 6.1 mm when opened and weighing 180 grams. It features a 6.9-inch main display, while the 4.1-inch FlexWindow serves as the hub for AI-native experiences, allowing users to access various applications, insights, and Galaxy AI features without flipping open the device.
Samsung has enhanced the photography experience with a 50 MP main camera featuring ProVisual Engine, FlexCam, Camcorder Grip, Super Steady with Horizontal Lock, and FlipShot for instant mirror selfies directly from the FlexWindow. These features are designed to help users create content easily without needing additional accessories.
Under the hood, the Galaxy Z Flip8 is powered by the Exynos 2600 chipset, a 4,300 mAh battery, and runs on Android 17 with One UI 9.
