The lineup introduces Galaxy Z Fold8, a fresh and exciting form factor that provides a new kind of foldable experience built around the way people explore, discover, and immerse themselves in their favorite content.
The lineup also includes Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, which brings Galaxy’s renowned Ultra standard to foldables with maximum productivity and content creation in a larger workspace. Galaxy Z Flip8 — the sleekest one yet — was built for expression and quick interaction on the go. Built on seven generations of foldable innovation and consumer insight, the new Galaxy Z series gives users more choice than ever, with three distinct experiences engineered to fit different needs.
The All-New Galaxy Z Fold8: A New Galaxy Fold Experience for Everyday Immersion

Galaxy Z Fold8 introduces a form factor designed to move easily from quick interactions on the cover screen to deeper viewing, reading and gaming on the main display. With intuitive display ratios and long-lasting performance, Galaxy Z Fold8 makes it easier to get the most out of the content, stories and ideas that matter.
Built for Discovery
Galaxy Z Fold8’s display ratios are designed around the way people naturally consume content throughout the day. By adapting the screen to the content, Galaxy Z Fold8 creates a more immersive experience whether users are browsing, watching, reading, or gaming. At just 201 g, Galaxy Z Fold8 is Samsung’s lightest Galaxy Z Fold yet. Despite its lightweight design, it combines the Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy with a larger 4,800mAh battery, delivering smooth, responsive performance and lasting power so users can stay immersed longer.
Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra: The Ultra Foldable Built for Maximum Productivity
Ultra represents Galaxy’s highest standard for performance, capability, and innovation. With Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, that standard meets Samsung’s most advanced foldable design. Its expansive 8-inch main display opens up a productive workspace for multitasking, while its advanced camera system and long-lasting battery help users create throughout the day. All of this comes in Galaxy’s slimmest Z Fold design yet — measuring just 4.1 mm when unfolded and weighing 215 g, it pushes the standard for productivity on the go.
Professional-Grade Creativity with an Ultra-Level Camera System
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra is built to give creators more freedom from capture to edit, with an Ultra-level camera system and creative tools that make high-quality content easier to produce from one device.
Galaxy Z Flip8: The Sleekest, Most Expressive AI-Native Flip Experience

Designed around quick interactions, personal expression and AI-native experiences, Galaxy Z Flip8 brings the power of Galaxy AI closer to everyday moments through a reimagined FlexWindow and uniquely flexible Flip form factor. Weighing just 180 g and with a thickness of only 6.1 mm, Samsung’s slimmest and lightest Flip brings information, actions and creativity closer to everyday moments.
A Smarter, More Intuitive FlexWindow Experience
Galaxy Z Flip8 reimagines the FlexWindow as an AI-native everyday interface, bringing information, actions and assistance closer to the moments when users need them most.
FlexCam Unlocks a More Expressive Flip Selfie Experience
Galaxy Z Flip8 enhances Samsung’s signature Flip camera experience, turning everyday moments into more expressive content through flexible shooting angles, real-time previews and Flip-only creative experiences. From hands-free shooting and real-time preview to cover-screen selfie videos and Flip-only mirror selfies, Galaxy Z Flip8 helps users create, check and share polished moments without setting up extra equipment.

It features a lightweight yet durable aluminum casing that preserves Galaxy Watch’s signature cushion silhouette, refined specifically for a closer, more natural fit on the wrist. Combined with a wide range of interchangeable, soft-touch bands, Galaxy Watch9 helps ensure unmatched all-day comfort — enabling the continuous, 24/7 wear required to help capture accurate and consistent health data.
