Preorders for Samsung’s new Z Fold and Flip 8 come with up to $350 in gift cards
Samsung has announced its new Galaxy Z Fold 8, Z Fold 8 Ultra, and Z Flip 8 foldables, which are available for preorder starting August 7th. The devices feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor and new AI-integrated software features.
Why it matters
This launch marks a shift in Samsung's foldable strategy by introducing a productivity-focused Ultra model alongside standard versions, influencing the high-end smartphone market.
Samsung’s newest foldables are here. At Galaxy Unpacked, the company announced the Galaxy Z Flip 8, Galaxy Z Fold 8, and Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra. All three devices will be available on August 7th, but you can preorder them now starting at $1,199.99, $1,899.99, and $2,099.99, respectively.
You probably noticed that Samsung’s foldable lineup looks a little different this year. Rather than simply updating the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Samsung now has two book-style foldables: the productivity-focused Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and the shorter, wider (when folded) Galaxy Z Fold 8 that’s geared more toward entertainment. The Galaxy Z Flip 8, meanwhile, is a touch thinner and lighter than its predecessor, but otherwise retains the same design as the Flip 7.
