Next-Gen Foldables: Samsung Unveils the Galaxy Z8 Series

Samsung Electronics has officially launched the Galaxy Z8 Series, introducing its most refined and complete foldable line-up yet. Engineered around three distinct form factors, the new series combines groundbreaking hardware with deeply integrated, agentic Galaxy AI to suit every digital lifestyle.

“As AI becomes more agentic, mobile devices will become the most personal entry point to experiences that understand and adapt to each user. By setting a new standard for foldables, we are once again advancing the premium mobile experience.”

— TM Roh, CEO, President and Head of DX Division, Samsung Electronics

Three Distinct Form Factors

  • Galaxy Z Fold8: Lightweight (201g) and built for everyday content immersion. It features a familiar 10:16 cover screen for quick messaging, unfolding into a 4:3 main display designed for immersive gaming, watching, and long-form reading.
  • Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra: The ultimate workstation for productivity and content creation. Measuring just 4.1mm unfolded, it boasts an expansive 8-inch main display, a 200MP main camera with 8K video capture, a 5,000mAh battery, and a fast 45W dual-path charging system.
  • Galaxy Z Flip8: The sleekest Flip yet at 180g and 6.1mm thin. It introduces an AI-native FlexWindow with Now Brief for instant glanceable updates, paired with a 50MP FlexCam for hands-free selfies and video.

Engineering Breakthroughs & Agentic AI

Built with new Flex Titanium technology, the Z8 display structure combines a titanium-alloy film with a reinforced plate to reduce screen crease visibility, absorb impact, and deliver a smoother unfolding mechanism.

Under the hood, Galaxy AI acts as a proactive personal assistant across the entire line-up:

  • Now Nudge: Scans ongoing chats to suggest instant next steps—such as checking calendars or saving locations—side-by-side in split view.
  • Gemini Automations: Executes complex multi-step tasks across more than 40 supported apps using simple voice or text prompts.
  • Gemini Notebook: A persistent creative workspace to drag-and-drop notes, images, and audio into instant visual recaps and reports.

Security, Availability & Easy Switching

To protect personal AI data, Samsung Knox provides chip-up encryption alongside the new AI Assistant Activity dashboard in One UI 9.0, giving users total control and transparency over background AI actions.

Pre-orders are now open in Singapore in classic Graphite and Cream, alongside model-exclusive shades like Violet Shadow (Ultra), Lavender (Fold8), and Pink (Flip8). Every purchase includes a 6-month free trial of Google AI Pro (with 5TB cloud storage).

Switching from iOS is simpler than ever: the updated Smart Switch transfers data, passkeys, and eSIMs wirelessly via a quick QR scan, while Quick Share now supports seamless two-way file sharing directly with AirDrop®.

The Takeaway: Whether you prefer the ultra-light daily versatility of the Fold8, the uncompromised power of the Fold8 Ultra, or the pocketable flair of the Flip8, Samsung’s Z8 Series offers a tailored, AI-driven foldable for every user.
