Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 & Fold 8 Ultra: Full Leaked Specs, Price & Launch date

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 & Fold 8 Ultra: Everything Leaked So Far

Unpacked is set for July 22, 2026 — here's what's rumoured before Samsung takes the stage

Samsung's next foldable generation is almost here. The Galaxy Unpacked event is expected to go live on July 22, 2026, and this time there isn't just one Fold to talk about — leaks point to a standard Z Fold 8, a brand new Z Fold 8 Ultra, and the usual Z Flip 8 alongside it. Here's a breakdown of what's known so far, based on leaks and early hands-on reports circulating ahead of launch.

⚠️ Samsung hasn't confirmed any of this officially yet. Treat every spec and price below as a leak until Unpacked actually happens.

Galaxy Z Fold 8: The Big Redesign

The standard Fold 8 isn't just a spec bump this year — Samsung is reportedly shifting to a wider 4:3 aspect ratio on the inner screen, moving away from the narrow "remote control" shape of past Folds toward something closer to a mini tablet when unfolded.

Galaxy Z Fold 8 — Expected Specs

• Main Display8.0" AMOLED, 4:3, 120Hz
• Cover Display5.5" AMOLED, 16:10, 120Hz
• ChipsetSnapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5
• RAM / Storage12GB/16GB, up to 1TB
• Rear Camera200MP + 50MP + 10MP
• Battery~4,800mAh, 25W wired
• Weight~201g (folded)
• SoftwareAndroid 17, One UI 8/9

Expected India price: ₹1,79,999 – ₹1,98,999

Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra: The New Flagship-of-Flagships

This is the more interesting one for spec-chasers. The Ultra variant is expected to keep the familiar elongated Fold silhouette (similar to the Fold 7), but pushes the camera and display hardware further — and comes at a steep premium.

Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra — Expected Specs

• Main Display8.0" OLED, ~4.1mm unfolded
• ChipsetSnapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5
• Rear Camera200MP + 50MP + 10MP telephoto
• Front CameraDual 10MP selfie setup
• Battery5,000mAh, 45W charging
• BuildRefined hinge, reduced crease

Expected India price: ₹1,85,000 – ₹2,00,000+

Interestingly, early hands-on impressions from Korean leaker Lanzuk suggest the standard Fold 8 might actually feel more refined than the Ultra thanks to a noticeably better crease reduction — which would be a first for a "base" model beating its own Ultra sibling on build quality.

Galaxy Z Flip 8: Not Left Behind

Galaxy Z Flip 8 — Expected Specs

• Display6.9" AMOLED + 4.1" FlexWindow
• ChipsetExynos 2600 / Snapdragon split
• RAM / Storage12GB, up to 512GB
• Camera50MP main + 12MP ultrawide
• Battery4,300mAh, 25W charging

Expected India price: ₹1,09,999 – ₹1,14,999

Quick Comparison

Model	Display	Camera	Expected Price (India)
Z Fold 8	8.0" 4:3 AMOLED	200MP triple	₹1,79,999+
Z Fold 8 Ultra	8.0" OLED, thinner	200MP triple + dual selfie	₹1,85,000+
Z Flip 8	6.9" + 4.1" cover	50MP dual	₹1,09,999+

Why Prices Might Be Higher This Year

If these foldables land pricier than the Fold 7 and Flip 7 generation, blame it on what the industry is calling "RAMageddon" — a global spike in memory and storage chip costs that's pushing up prices across smartphones and laptops in 2026, not just on Samsung's foldables.

When and Where

Multiple reports now point to Samsung hosting its summer Unpacked event live in London on July 22, 2026, with pre-orders likely opening right after and retail availability following within a couple of weeks — meaning an India launch could realistically land in early-to-mid August.
