Samsung launches Galaxy Z Fold 8 series with new Fold Ultra and Flip 8

Samsung Electronics unveiled three new foldable smartphones – the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Galaxy Z Flip 8 – at a London event on 22 July 2026. The Fold 8, at 201 g, is the lightest model in the line and uses a Flex Titanium hinge to reduce visible creasing. The Ultra version carries a 5 000 mAh battery, while the Flip 8 uses a 4 300 mAh battery. EU EPREL data shows the devices are rated for only 1 200 charge cycles before capacity falls to 80 %, a 40 % drop from previous generations. Samsung raised production of the Fold 8 to about 2.8 million units, roughly 40 % above earlier forecasts, after strong pre‑order demand in markets such as Japan, India and Europe. Regional marketing included a sky‑diving formation over Dubai that recreated the Fold 8’s outline. Pre‑order bonuses and limited‑edition Caviar models have also been announced, underscoring the high commercial interest in the new foldables.
