Samsung Galaxy Z Series Unveiled: Fold8, Fold8 Ultra, and Flip8 Specs and Pricing

I got my hands on the new Samsung Galaxy Z lineup early, and the Fold8’s new form factor blew me away.

I was lucky enough to catch the media preview last weekend, and while Samsung unveiled its entire eighth-generation foldable roster—the Z Flip8, the powerhouse Z Fold8 Ultra, and the Z Fold8—it was the standard Z Fold8 that completely stole the show for me.

Going in, I expected incremental updates, but the Z Fold8 introduces a brand-new form factor that changes how a foldable actually feels in your hand. At just 201 grams, it’s Samsung’s lightest fold yet, and the revised display aspect ratios hit the absolute sweet spot. The 10:16 cover screen feels like a normal, comfortable smartphone for quick replies or scrolling feed. But when you open it up, the 4:3 main display gives you an incredible, immersive canvas for gaming, watching videos, or reading. It just feels... natural. Beneath the hood, Samsung crammed in a Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, a larger 4,800 mAh battery, and their new Flex Titanium display tech—making the hinge feel lighter and noticeably reducing screen crease.

The rest of the lineup doesn't pull any punches either:

Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra: Making its debut as the absolute flagship foldable, the Ultra pushes productivity to the max with a massive 8-inch main display, a 200 MP camera system with 8K video capabilities, a 5,000 mAh battery with 45W fast charging, and an ultra-thin 4.1 mm profile when unfolded.

Galaxy Z Flip8: The sleekest Flip yet (180 g and 6.1 mm thin) centers around a upgraded, AI-native FlexWindow. It lets you run apps, check widgets, and execute actions right from the cover screen without unfolding the device.

Across all three devices, Galaxy AI and One UI 9 take center stage. Features like Now Brief for personalized daily info, Now Nudge for contextual action prompts during chats, and deep integration with Gemini Intelligence (complete with a drag-and-drop workspace) make multitasking feel seamless. On the security front, Samsung doubled down on trust with chip-up Knox protection, private on-device processing, and a new AI Assistant Activity dashboard so you always know what your AI agents are doing.

Local Availability & Pre-order Perks (Philippines):

Pre-orders are open now through August 13, 2026. If you’re looking to upgrade, Samsung is throwing in some massive perks for early adopters:

Trade-in savings up to ₱14,000 (via Samsung Authorized Stores, Samsung Finance+, or Home Credit).
3 months of free Samsung Care+ (worth ₱3,297) when ordering via Samsung.com, plus up to 33% off 2-year plans.

Color lineup: Available in Graphite and Cream across the board. Exclusives include Violet Shadow (Fold8 Ultra), Lavender (Fold8), and Pink (Flip8), alongside online-only shades like Green Shadow, Pistachio, and Mint.

Plus, if you're switching over from iOS, Samsung made the jump ridiculously painless this year—Smart Switch now transfers data (even passkeys and eSIMs) via a quick QR scan, and Quick Share is now cross-compatible with AirDrop.
