Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today introduced its most complete foldable lineup yet, headlined by the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold8, and Galaxy Z Flip8. Built on seven generations of foldable innovation, the new Galaxy Z series redefines mobile experiences with three distinct form factors engineered for Ultra productivity, immersive discovery, and dynamic self‑expression. Together with the newly launched Galaxy Watch Ultra2 and Galaxy Watch9, Samsung expands its AI ecosystem, delivering seamless health, wellness, and productivity experiences across devices.
Galaxy Z Fold8: Everyday Immersion in a Slimmer, Lighter Design
The Galaxy Z Fold8 introduces a fresh form factor designed around the way people naturally consume content. At just 201 g, it is Samsung’s lightest Fold yet, while still packing the Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform and a larger 4,800 mAh battery for lasting performance. Its 10:16 cover screen makes quick interactions effortless, while the expansive 7.6‑inch main display adapts to deeper viewing, reading, and gaming with immersive 4:3 ratios.
Samsung’s new Flex Titanium technology strengthens durability while reducing crease visibility, ensuring smoother unfolding and a more refined experience. With up to 3,000 nits of brightness and Vision Booster, the Fold8’s display remains vivid even outdoors, making it a versatile companion for discovery and entertainment.
Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra: Maximum Productivity in the Slimmest Ultra Fold
The Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra brings Samsung’s renowned Ultra standard to foldables. Measuring just 4.1 mm when unfolded and weighing 215 g, it delivers a larger 8‑inch main display that transforms into a productive workspace for multitasking, content creation, and AI‑powered workflows.
Its 200 MP main camera system with HDR capability captures rich, detailed images, complemented by a new 50 MP ultra‑wide camera and enhanced Nightography for low‑light clarity. For creators, 8K video recording with APV codec and Cine LUT cinematic controls provide professional‑grade flexibility directly from the device.
Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, the Fold8 Ultra introduces a dual‑path charging architecture with 45W fast charging and a 5,000 mAh battery, supported by an expanded graphite cooling system for reliable all‑day productivity.
Galaxy Z Flip8: Sleek, Expressive, and AI‑Native
The Galaxy Z Flip8 is Samsung’s slimmest and lightest Flip yet, weighing just 180 g with a thickness of only 6.1 mm. Designed for quick interactions and personal expression, Flip8 reimagines the FlexWindow as an AI‑native interface, bringing apps, insights, and shortcuts directly to the cover screen. Features like Now Brief and Gemini Intelligence automation make everyday tasks faster and more intuitive.
Flip8 enhances Samsung’s signature Flip camera experience with a 50 MP ProVisual Engine, delivering advanced selfies with natural tones and dynamic bokeh. Flexible shooting angles, hands‑free previews, and Flip‑only creative modes like FlipShot and Mirror View empower users to capture and share expressive content effortlessly.
Galaxy AI: A More Personal, Proactive Companion
Across the new Galaxy Z series, Galaxy AI has been optimized for each form factor. On Fold8 and Fold8 Ultra, larger screens make multitasking seamless, while Flip8’s AI‑native FlexWindow keeps relevant information within reach. Features like Now Nudge surface contextual next steps during conversations, while Gemini Notebook enables users to organize notes, files, and images into persistent workspaces.
Security and privacy remain foundational, with Samsung Knox Matrix, Personal Data Engine (PDE), and Knox Vault ensuring transparency, choice, and control over personal data.
Galaxy Watch Ultra2 and Watch9: Expanding the AI Ecosystem
Complementing the foldables, Samsung also unveiled the Galaxy Watch Ultra2 and Galaxy Watch9, designed to transform biometric data into actionable health insights. The Ultra2, with its 800 mAh battery, 5,000‑nit display, and rugged titanium casing, supports extreme sports tracking and professional diving with exclusive features developed alongside Mares.
Meanwhile, the Galaxy Watch9 offers everyday wellness tracking with a lightweight aluminum design, 3,000‑nit display, and comfortable band options. Both watches integrate AI‑powered health features such as Sleep Apnea detection (FDA‑cleared), Vitals monitoring, Heart Health Score, and Daily Cardio Load, advancing Samsung’s preventive care vision.
Together, the new watches and foldables showcase Samsung’s commitment to building a deeply connected ecosystem where AI empowers users across health, productivity, and creativity.
