Galaxy Z Fold8: an accessible foldable for everyone
Samsung has reinvented the foldable phone with the new Galaxy Z Fold8, which comes with an all-new design with a wide 4:3 aspect ratio when the 7.6-inch screen is unfolded. This expansive and immersive screen is perfect for watching movies and playing games on, and if you rotate the Galaxy Z Fold8, the aspect ratio switches to 3:4, which is ideal for reading ebooks, digital comics, and websites.
The screen again benefits from Samsung’s Flex Titanium durability technology, which means you can open and close the Galaxy Z Fold8 repeatedly without worrying about damaging the phone.
When closed, the Galaxy Z Fold8 becomes a more traditional smartphone, making it easy to carry around when you don’t need to use the large screen. It’s also the lightest Galaxy Z Fold ever, weighing just 201 grams. With the large 4,800mAh battery, which means you get over 26 hours of video playback with a single charge, you’ll be able to take the Galaxy Z Fold8 anywhere.
It also boasts brilliant new Galaxy AI features, including My FanCam which lets you select a person in your videos and keep them centre stage. Agentic AI tools can also cleverly detect places, products, people and more, in your photos and give you quick access to advanced tools that will make your life easier.

Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra: a new era of foldables
For the first time ever, Samsung has launched an Ultra version of its Galaxy Fold foldable smartphones. As you’ll likely already know (or can guess), Galaxy Ultra devices are the very best-of-the-best products from Samsung, and the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra is no exception.
This premium foldable smartphone fuses the immersive and productivity benefits of a tablet, while maintaining the portability and convenience of a super-thin smartphone. When closed, it offers a familiar phone-like experience, with the gorgeous design we’ve come to expect from Galaxy devices.
Unfold it, and you’re faced with a stunning large 8-inch display, and at just 4.1mm thick, it’s the thinnest Galaxy Z Fold ever made. Combine that with a weight of just 215 grams, and you have a smartphone that you can comfortably carry around with you all day, every day.
Thanks to its optimised hinge and display, and Samsung’s unique Flex Titanium technology, the screen is easy and safe to unfold, looks amazing, and minimises any display crease.
The large display means games, apps and media look fantastic, and reading websites, ebooks and more is an absolute joy.
It’s also great for productivity, allowing you to multitask with ease, and gives you access to enhanced AI features. Gemini Notebook, for example, lets you easily take notes, transcribe meetings, and much more, and turn them into AI-generated videos, presentations and even podcasts.
With the AI-powered Now Nudge feature, the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra will cleverly detect when you need to use multiple apps at once and display them side by side.
It also comes with an incredible 200MP camera system that ensures your photographs look incredible, and thanks to cutting-edge components, including the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy chip, using the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra is slick and fast.
