Samsung launches Galaxy Z Fold8, Fold8 Ultra and Flip8 foldable smartphones
Samsung Electronics unveiled its third generation of foldable smartphones – the Galaxy Z Fold8, Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra and Galaxy Z Flip8 – at the Unpacked 2026 event. The devices run the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy processor built on a 3 nm process and feature the new Flex Titanium display technology, which reduces panel thickness by about 10 %. The Fold8 weighs 201 g, making it the lightest Z Fold model, while the Fold8 Ultra is equipped with a 5 000 mAh battery and a 200 MP main camera.
All three models support a native USB webcam mode that works without third‑party applications, allowing the phones to serve as high‑quality webcams for PCs. Android 17 also integrates an upgraded Switch tool that wirelessly transfers iPhone data – including contacts, messages, eSIM profiles and iMessage history – to the new Samsung foldables during initial setup. Independent battery‑life testing showed the Fold8 lasting about 6 hours 30 minutes and the Ultra about 6 hours 43 minutes under mixed heavy‑use conditions.
