Summary

  • July 22 is the date Samsung confirmed for its Galaxy Unpacked event in London, where it is expected to unveil new foldables led by the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra.
  • Recent certifications and leaks point to an "Ultra" branding shift, with Samsung also tipped to introduce a separate wider foldable alongside the Z Flip 8.
  • 200g is the rumored weight for the Z Fold 8 Ultra, down from the Z Fold 7's 215g, while reports also suggest a battery increase to 5,000mAh from 4,400mAh.
  • Camera leaks indicate Samsung may keep the 200MP main sensor but raise the ultrawide to 50MP from 12MP and the telephoto to 12MP from 10MP.
  • The launch follows Samsung's recent wider-design teaser and deep Z Fold 7 discounts, signaling a broader foldables push as Apple is expected to enter the category later this year.
