The New Galaxy Z Series: Three Distinct Foldable Experiences

Built on seven generations of foldable innovation and consumer insight, the new Galaxy Z series gives users more choice than ever, with three distinct experiences engineered to fit different needs.

Galaxy Z Fold8 introduces a fresh form factor built around the way people explore, discover and immerse themselves in their favourite content. Its display ratios are designed to move naturally with users throughout the day - from quick interactions like messaging, browsing and short-form video on the wider cover screen to more immersive viewing, reading and gaming on the 4:3 main display2. With Gemini Notebook3, users can bring together notes, images, recordings, files and documents in one workspace to collect, organize and develop their ideas. At just 201 g4, it is Samsung's lightest Galaxy Z Fold yet, while Samsung's new Flex Titanium technology helps support a slimmer display structure with impressive strength and reduced crease visibility over time.

Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra brings Galaxy's renowned Ultra standard to foldables, combining a larger workspace with an upgraded camera system and performance built for demanding creative workflows. Its expansive 8-inch main display5 opens up more room for multitasking, while Now Nudge6 helps users move from conversation to action by suggesting relevant next steps across supported apps.

The 200 MP main camera now supports High Dynamic Range (HDR) in 200 MP mode for richer detail, colour and clarity. A new 50 MP ultra-wide camera adds greater flexibility for wider scenes and macro shots, helping users capture more from one device. Across Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold8 and Galaxy Z Flip8, Dual Recording captures both the action and the user's reaction, while My FanCam7 automatically tracks and reframes a selected subject.

Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra also features a 5,000 mAh battery8, 45 W Super Fast Charging and an expanded graphite cooling structure - all in Galaxy's slimmest Z Fold design yet, measuring just 4.1 mm when unfolded and weighing 215 g9.

Galaxy Z Flip8, Samsung's sleekest Flip ever released, is built for expression and quick interaction on the go. Its reimagined FlexWindow brings apps, insights, actions and assistance directly to the cover screen. Now Brief10 surfaces personalized information based on users' schedules, routines and interests. Users can also access Gemini11 from the FlexWindow through side-key activation or natural voice requests, making it easier to complete connected actions on the go. Galaxy Z Flip8 further enhances Samsung's signature Flip camera experience with a 50 MP camera, ProVisual Engine and FlexCam experiences that make it easier to capture, preview and share polished photos and videos from flexible angles.
