Summary
Three foldables — Galaxy Z Flip 8, Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra — are now expected at Samsung’s July 22 Galaxy Unpacked event, adding a second book-style model to the lineup.
The split appears to hinge on design and positioning: the standard Z Fold 8 is tipped to adopt a wider, less square form factor, while the Ultra keeps the familiar shape and adds higher-end hardware.
Rumored specs point to an 8-inch main display, 200MP camera, 5,000mAh battery and possibly 45W charging for the Ultra, versus a 7.6-inch screen, dual cameras and 4,800mAh battery for the standard Fold 8.
Both Fold 8 models are expected to use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, offer up to 16GB RAM and launch with One UI 9 on Android 17, suggesting Samsung will differentiate them more by design and cameras than raw performance.
The expanded foldable range follows earlier leaked renders of the Unpacked lineup and could push pricing above the Z Fold 7’s $1,999 starting point, especially for the Ultra.
