At Galaxy Unpacked July 2026 in London, Samsung Electronics unveiled the eighth-generation Galaxy Z series. Combining agentic AI that understands users with hardware tailored to different lifestyles, the lineup offers three distinct foldable experiences.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Samsung Newsroom got an early look at the new devices during Galaxy Unpacked July 2026 \u2014 from Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, the first Ultra model in the Galaxy foldable portfolio, to Galaxy Z Fold8 with its all-new form factor and Galaxy Z Flip8 with more intuitive AI on FlexWindow.<\/p>\n

Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra: The Ultra Experience on a Foldable Display<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Within the Galaxy lineup, the \u201cUltra\u201d name represents Samsung\u2019s highest level of performance and user experience. As the first Ultra model in the Galaxy Z series, Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra pairs ultra-level performance with an expansive foldable display to elevate productivity through AI-powered multitasking.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra features a remarkably thin profile when unfolded.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The first thing that stands out is how thin the device is. Unfolding it reveals a spacious 8-inch main display. Measuring 4.1 millimeters thick when unfolded and weighing only 215 grams[1]<\/span><\/a>, Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra is the thinnest Galaxy Z Fold yet \u2014 making it comfortable to carry and use throughout the day.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The display has also been refined to deliver smoother, more comfortable folding. The folding magnets, hinge mechanism and display tension have been precisely optimized, while refinements to the edge design make the device easier to unfold. Samsung\u2019s proprietary Flex Titanium technology helps minimize the display crease while enhancing durability.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The expansive display also unlocks enhanced AI experiences.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Gemini[2]<\/span><\/a> Notebook streamlines the process of organizing meeting materials and notes. Users can upload a PDF of meeting minutes or an audio recording of a presentation to generate a summary of the key points, then transform the same source material into a variety of formats \u2014 including AI-generated videos, presentation slides, podcasts and quizzes.<\/p>\n

Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra truly shines in AI-powered multitasking. Agentic AI anticipates when multitasking is needed, using Now Nudge[3]<\/span><\/a> to open Multi Window at the right moment. For example, Now Nudge can suggest adding dinner plans from a messaging app to the calendar and open the Calendar app in Multi Window.<\/p>\n

Qualcomm Snapdragon\u00ae 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy[4]<\/span><\/a>[5]<\/span><\/a> and a 5,000mAh battery support Galaxy AI experiences and seamless multitasking on the expansive display.<\/p>\n

Galaxy Z Fold8: A Foldable, Reimagined<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Redesigned with an all-new form factor, Galaxy Z Fold8 introduces an aspect ratio optimized for a wide range of content.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Galaxy Z Fold8 features new display proportions across its 5.5-inch cover screen and a 7.6-inch main display.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Unfolding the device expands the display to a 4:3 aspect ratio, ideal for watching movies or playing games. Rotating the device switches to a 3:4 aspect ratio that feels more natural for reading e-books or browsing the web. The cover screen\u2019s 10:16 aspect ratio also provides a familiar experience for browsing short-form content.[6]<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

A 4,800mAh battery supports more than 26 hours of video playback[7]<\/span><\/a>. Weighing just 201 grams, Galaxy Z Fold8 is the lightest Galaxy Z Fold yet[8]<\/span><\/a> and remains comfortable to hold \u2014 even during extended viewing sessions.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Galaxy Z Fold8 goes beyond content consumption with tools for creating and editing.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Galaxy AI-powered My FanCam[9]<\/span><\/a> makes it easy to create videos focused on a specific person. After selecting a video in the Gallery app, users can launch My FanCam and choose the subject to follow. The video is then automatically reframed around the selected subject.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The device also delivers a more advanced agentic AI experience.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

For example, if a user shares a photo of the Eiffel Tower with Gemini2<\/sup> and asks it to book a nearby hotel, the AI agent finds accommodations that match the specified criteria \u2014 even while they continue using other apps. Afterward, they can simply review the recommendations and approve only the actions that require confirmation, saving time and effort.<\/p>\n

Galaxy Z Flip8: More Without Unfolding<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Galaxy Z Flip8 makes a strong first impression with its thin, lightweight design. Measuring 6.1 millimeters thick when unfolded and weighing only 180 grams[10]<\/span><\/a>, it offers excellent portability. A stronger frame and a more durable hinge made with a new high-strength material improve durability while maintaining the device\u2019s slim profile.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Galaxy Z Flip8 is comfortable to hold.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

One of Galaxy Z Flip8\u2019s biggest upgrades is its more versatile FlexWindow[11]<\/span><\/a>. Users can check important information and access their favorite features without unfolding the device.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Another highlight is Galaxy AI\u2019s[12]<\/span><\/a> Now Brief[13]<\/span><\/a>. From FlexWindow, users can instantly see the day\u2019s weather, schedule and important notifications. Everyday information such as exchange rates and stock updates is organized into personalized cards, making it easy to stay on top of the day.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now Brief on FlexWindow<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

App functionality also extends to FlexWindow. Without unfolding the device, users can browse photos in the Gallery app, chat with friends through messaging apps and quickly complete tasks. More than a hub for notifications and widgets, FlexWindow has evolved into a gateway to more of what Galaxy has to offer.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The camera experience has also been refined to better complement the Galaxy Z Flip form factor. Camcorder Grip \u2014 exclusive to the Galaxy Z Flip series \u2014 enables stable one-handed recording, while Super Steady\u2019s horizontal lock helps keep footage smooth and level, even on the move.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dual Recording captures both the creator and the subject in the same video, perfect for vlogs and social media challenges. Opening the Camera app displays the creator\u2019s view at the top of the screen and the subject\u2019s view below, allowing both perspectives to be recorded simultaneously. A live preview is also available on the cover screen, so both can see the shot while filming.<\/p>\n

From AI-powered productivity on a large display to optimized content viewing and everyday convenience without unfolding, the eighth-generation Galaxy Z series expands the possibilities of foldables. Designed to suit a wide range of needs, the latest Galaxy foldables offer users more ways to choose the mobile experience that suits them.<\/p>\n
