Across the lineup, AI is more personal, proactive and connected, helping users complete tasks with fewer steps while maintaining transparency, privacy and user control.
Galaxy Z Fold8: Built for Discovery
Galaxy Z Fold8 introduces a new foldable experience designed around how people consume content throughout the day. Its 10:16 cover display offers a natural smartphone experience for messaging, browsing and watching short format videos, while the 4:3 main display transforms into a larger canvas for reading, gaming, streaming and multitasking. When rotated, the display ratio becomes better suited for reading articles and e-books.
Weighing just 201 grams, Galaxy Z Fold8 is Samsung’s lightest Galaxy Z Fold yet. It combines a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy processor with a 4800mAh battery to deliver responsive performance and all-day endurance.
Samsung has also redesigned the display structure with new Flex Titanium technology, helping make the device thinner while improving durability and reducing crease visibility over time. The display supports up to 3000 nits of brightness, Vision Booster and a low-reflection finish for improved outdoor viewing.
For photography and video, Galaxy Z Fold8 features dual 50MP cameras for consistent image quality across wide and ultra-wide perspectives. Dual Recording captures both sides of a moment simultaneously, while My FanCam automatically tracks a selected subject and reframes footage for social-ready videos.
Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra: The Ultimate Productivity Foldable
Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra brings Samsung’s Ultra experience to the foldable category. Its expansive 8-inch main display creates a larger workspace for multitasking, content creation and AI-powered workflows, while its slim 4.1mm unfolded design weighs just 215 grams.
The device features a 200MP main camera with HDR support in 200MP mode, a new 50MP ultra-wide camera, enhanced Nightography and professional video tools including 8K recording with APV codec and Cine LUT support that gives users greater flexibility during editing and post production.
Powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy, Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra is engineered for demanding workloads.
