Samsung Electronics has officially unveiled its latest Galaxy Z foldable smartphone lineup, introducing the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold8, and Galaxy Z Flip8. Built on years of foldable innovation, the new series offers users more choice than ever, with each model designed to suit different lifestyles and everyday needs.

Leading the lineup is the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, bringing Samsung’s premium Ultra experience to the foldable category with enhanced productivity, professional-grade content creation tools, and powerful Galaxy AI features. The Galaxy Z Fold8 introduces a refreshed foldable design that focuses on immersive entertainment, multitasking, and everyday usability, while the Galaxy Z Flip8 delivers a compact, stylish experience built for self-expression, quick interactions, and AI-powered convenience.

Galaxy AI Designed Around Every Foldable

Samsung has further enhanced Galaxy AI across the entire Galaxy Z lineup, ensuring each device takes advantage of its unique form factor.

On the larger displays of the Galaxy Z Fold8 and Fold8 Ultra, Galaxy AI makes multitasking easier by allowing users to work across multiple apps, create content, and manage daily tasks more efficiently. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z Flip8 features an upgraded FlexWindow, giving users quick access to notifications, AI features, shortcuts, and essential information without opening the device.

Working alongside Gemini Intelligence, Galaxy AI can also perform tasks across supported apps, helping users complete everyday activities with fewer steps while maintaining privacy and giving users full control over their personal data.

According to TM Roh, President and Head of Samsung Electronics’ Device eXperience Division, AI is becoming increasingly personal, and foldable smartphones are evolving into devices that understand users better and adapt to their needs throughout the day.

Galaxy Z Fold8 Delivers a More Immersive Experience

The Galaxy Z Fold8 has been redesigned to provide a more natural foldable experience, making it easy to switch between quick interactions on the cover display and immersive viewing on the larger inner screen.

Whether browsing the web, watching videos, reading articles, or gaming, the Fold8 offers a display that adapts naturally to different types of content. Combined with an upgraded processor and improved battery life, the device is designed to deliver smooth performance throughout the day.

Samsung has also refined the display with its latest Flex Titanium technology, creating a thinner yet more durable foldable structure while reducing the visibility of the screen crease and improving the overall folding experience.

For photography, the Galaxy Z Fold8 features upgraded dual high-resolution cameras, allowing users to capture detailed images and record videos with greater flexibility. Features such as Dual Recording and My FanCam make it easier to create content for social media while automatically keeping subjects in frame.

Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra Brings the Ultra Experience to Foldables

Designed for professionals and content creators, the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra combines Samsung’s most advanced foldable design with flagship performance.

The expansive display provides a larger workspace for multitasking, editing documents, creating content and running multiple applications simultaneously.

Its professional-grade camera system includes Samsung’s highest-resolution main camera in a foldable device, complemented by an upgraded ultra-wide camera and improved Nightography for brighter low-light photos and videos.

Content creators will also benefit from advanced video recording features, including cinematic colour controls and enhanced editing flexibility.

Under the hood, the Fold8 Ultra delivers flagship performance with improved battery life, faster charging, and an upgraded cooling system to maintain smooth performance during demanding workloads such as gaming, video editing and AI-powered tasks.

Galaxy Z Flip8 Becomes Smarter and More Personal

The Galaxy Z Flip8 continues Samsung’s vision of combining style with functionality.

Its redesigned FlexWindow allows users to access apps, notifications, AI features and personalised information directly from the cover screen, making everyday interactions quicker and more convenient.

Galaxy AI also enables smarter experiences through Now Brief, which provides personalised updates and recommendations based on daily routines, while Gemini Intelligence allows users to perform tasks using voice commands without opening the phone.

For photography enthusiasts, the Galaxy Z Flip8 introduces Samsung’s most advanced Flip camera system yet. Improved FlexCam features allow users to capture hands-free photos and videos from multiple angles, while upgraded stabilisation and AI-powered image processing produce sharper selfies and smoother videos.

Galaxy AI Becomes More Helpful Than Ever

Samsung has expanded Galaxy AI beyond simple assistance by introducing more proactive and personalised features.

New tools such as Now Brief provide tailored daily updates, while Now Nudge intelligently suggests actions based on conversations and ongoing tasks.

With Gemini Notebook, users can organise notes, images, recordings and documents into a single workspace, making it easier to manage projects and boost productivity. Split-screen support also allows users to drag and drop files while working across multiple applications.

Galaxy AI also integrates seamlessly with the latest Galaxy Watch Ultra2, Galaxy Watch9, and Samsung’s upcoming wearable devices, creating a connected ecosystem that delivers personalised support throughout the day.

Built with Privacy and Security at Its Core

As AI becomes more integrated into daily life, Samsung continues to prioritise privacy and security.

The new Galaxy Z series is protected by Samsung Knox, which safeguards personal data from the hardware level while allowing users to control how AI features access and process their information.

Samsung has also introduced a new AI Assistant Activity dashboard, allowing users to easily review AI-generated actions and manage their privacy settings from one central location.

The Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold8 and Galaxy Z Flip8 are available for pre-order starting today in a range of colour options, including several online-exclusive finishes.

To make switching easier, Samsung has updated Smart Switch, allowing users to transfer more data—including passwords, settings and call history—from compatible devices with a simpler migration process. Galaxy users can also enjoy easier file sharing across supported devices through the latest Quick Share enhancements.

For added peace of mind, Samsung is also offering Samsung Care+, providing accidental damage protection, extended warranty coverage and expert support for eligible Galaxy foldable devices.
