Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra Launches as Its Thinnest Foldable Yet

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra is now available, arriving alongside the standard Galaxy Z Fold8 and Galaxy Z Flip8 after their debut at Samsung's Unpacked event in London on July 22, 2026. Samsung calls the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra its thinnest foldable yet.

Pricing across the three foldables
The Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra starts at $2,099.99, the standard Galaxy Z Fold8 starts at $1,899.99, and the Galaxy Z Flip8 starts at $1,199.99. All three became available on August 7, 2026.

A thinner, lighter Ultra
Samsung shaved the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra down to 4.1mm thick when unfolded and 215 grams, making it the thinnest Galaxy Z Fold released so far. It keeps the taller aspect ratio of past Fold Ultra models, which suits side-by-side multitasking.

An 8-inch main display
Unfolding the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra reveals a spacious 8-inch main screen, giving it one of the largest interior displays of any mainstream foldable phone.

Storage options
Both the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra and Galaxy Z Fold8 come in 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB configurations, while the Galaxy Z Flip8 offers 256GB and 512GB.

A different shape for the standard Fold8
Unlike the Ultra, the standard Galaxy Z Fold8 uses a shorter, passport-style design that Samsung positions as better suited to media and casual browsing.

Galaxy Z Flip8 keeps the compact form factor
The Galaxy Z Flip8 folds down to pocket size while running the same Snapdragon platform tier as its larger siblings, giving buyers who prefer a smaller phone most of the same performance as the Fold8 line.

Cameras built for a folding body
Samsung fit the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra with a main camera system tuned to work with the cover screen and interior display alike, so photos and video can be framed and reviewed from either side of the hinge.

Part of a broader Unpacked lineup
Samsung positioned the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra as the headline device of its July Unpacked event, framing the three foldables around different ways people use a phone, from multitasking on the Ultra to a smaller everyday footprint on the Flip8.

Availability
The Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold8, and Galaxy Z Flip8 are on sale now through Samsung and major carriers following their August 7, 2026 launch.
