Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Fold8, & Flip8: Full Specs, Specs Comparison, and Pricing

At its Galaxy Unpacked event in July 2026, Samsung officially ushered in its 8th generation of foldable smartphones. Breaking away from its traditional dual-device launch, Samsung has expanded its portfolio into a three-tier strategy designed for different user styles: the balanced Galaxy Z Fold8, the ultra-premium Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, and the sleek, compact Galaxy Z Flip8.

Driven by Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy processor, updated Flex Titanium hinge engineering, and deep Galaxy AI integration, this generation focuses on thinner form factors, virtually invisible screen creases, and enhanced battery life.

Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra: The Apex Foldable

For the first time, Samsung brings its “Ultra” moniker to the foldable space, aimed at power users and productivity enthusiasts who want flagship-grade camera performance and maximal screen real estate without standard foldable compromises.

• Record-Breaking Slimness: At just 4.1 mm unfolded (8.9 mm folded) and weighing 215 grams, the Z Fold8 Ultra is Samsung’s thinnest and lightest book-style foldable to date. It uses Flex Titanium construction to drastically reduce crease visibility while bolstering drop resistance.
• Displays: Features a massive 8.0-inch QXGA+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X main display (2504 × 2256) and a wide 6.5-inch FHD+ cover display, both supporting 1–120Hz adaptive refresh rates and peaking at 3,000 nits of brightness.
• Camera Hardware: Inherits a flagship 200MP wide sensor with OIS, alongside a 50MP ultra-wide and a 10MP telephoto lens supporting 3x optical zoom.
• Power & Charging: Employs a 5,000 mAh silicon-carbon (Si/C) battery—a first for Samsung foldables—paired with 45W wired charging (0 to 67% in 30 mins) and 20W wireless charging.
