Samsung Readies Two Galaxy Z Fold 8 Models, Including an Ultra Flagship

Leaked filings, hands-on impressions and price reports suggest one model will favour a wider, more usable design with the other focused on flagship specs and a near crease-free display.

Overview

Multiple recent leaks and regulatory entries have converged on a two‑model Fold 8 strategy that would pair a wider, everyday-focused Galaxy Z Fold 8 with a higher‑spec Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra.
Bluetooth SIG and FCC filings seen in June bolster the leaks but do not confirm final specs, names or global availability and should be treated as unverified reporting.
Leaked technical claims, reported by several outlets, include an 8‑inch outer AMOLED, a 6.5‑inch inner panel, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, a possible 200MP main camera, a 5000mAh battery with 45W charging and a 120Hz refresh rate, though these details remain provisional.
A price leak in India put the Fold 8 (12GB/256GB) at Rs 1,79,999 and analysts say tiered models and premium Ultra features could push retail prices higher and complicate buying decisions.
Samsung is widely expected to unveil the new Fold family at Galaxy Unpacked on July 22, 2026, a step that would extend the company’s Ultra tiering to foldables and reshape how buyers choose between ergonomics and flagship hardware.
