The event is set to launch the next generation of its foldable lineup: the Galaxy Z Fold 8, a higher‑spec Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, and the Galaxy Z Flip 8. Leaked specifications indicate the Fold series will use a wider 4:3‑ratio inner screen, an improved hinge, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chips and cameras ranging from a dual‑50 MP system on the base model to a 200 MP sensor on the Ultra. Battery capacities are expected at 4,800 mAh (Fold 8) and 5,000 mAh (Ultra). The Flip 8 will retain its clamshell design with modest upgrades to battery life, performance and AI‑assisted photography. Pricing leaks show the Z Fold 8 starting at about $1,899 in the United States and €1,999 in Europe, while the Ultra version may reach $2,099 (US) and €2,199 (EU). Samsung will also introduce One UI 9 and expanded Galaxy AI features across smartphones, wearables and forthcoming Android XR smart glasses. Pre‑registration promotions in Brazil offer discounts of up to R$2,000. Rumors also suggest the Flip line could be discontinued after the Z Flip 8, reflecting a strategic shift toward the Fold form factor.
