Built for Discovery Galaxy Z Fold8's display ratios are designed around the way people naturally consume content throughout the day. By adapting the screen to the content, Fold8 creates a more immersive experience whether users are browsing, watching, reading or gaming. At just 201 g,1 Fold8 is Samsung's lightest Galaxy Z Fold yet.2 Despite its lightweight design, it combines the Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform for Galaxy3 with a larger 4,800 mAh battery,4 delivering smooth, responsive performance and lasting power so users can stay immersed longer. A Display Engineered from the Inside Out Across the new Galaxy Z series, expert display engineering serves as the foundation for a more refined foldable experience, supporting slimmer designs, greater durability and more seamless viewing.

Whether it's a sweeping landscape, a group shot or a spontaneous moment on the move, Fold8 makes everyday photography and video feel easier to capture, edit and share. Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra — The Ultra Foldable Built for Maximum Productivity Ultra represents Galaxy's highest standard for performance, capability and innovation. With Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, that standard meets Samsung's most advanced foldable design. Its expansive 8-inch main display10 opens up a productive workspace for multitasking, while its advanced camera system and long-lasting battery support creation throughout the day.

From hands-free shooting and real-time preview to cover-screen selfie videos and Flip-only mirror selfies, Flip8 helps users create, check and share polished moments without setting up extra equipment. A New Class of Agentic Experiences Optimized for Foldables As the most personal device people carry, the phone has become the primary entry point where AI meets users — and the new Galaxy Z series sets the tone for the next generation of mobile AI experiences. Galaxy AI now works across more apps and services, with experiences optimized for foldable form factors. By understanding what matters to each user and helping turn insights into action, Galaxy AI becomes more personal, proactive and useful throughout the day. Together, these experiences show how Galaxy AI is becoming a more capable and proactive companion, helping users accomplish more with less effort. Across the lineup, foldable form factors make these experiences easier to access throughout the day. Security and Privacy Built Into the Experience As AI becomes more personal and agentic, trust continues to be a critical foundation of the experience. Users need to know how their data is used, understand what AI is doing on their behalf and stay in control of the choices that shape their experience. With the new Galaxy Z series, Samsung builds that trust into the device from the start, keeping personal data secure while giving users transparency, choice and control over how their information is used. Samsung Knox protects every Galaxy device from the chip up, with a multi-layered approach that includes on-device personalization and user-controlled cloud processing, as well as future-ready protections such as ecosystem-wide protection through Samsung Knox Matrix. For on-device AI, Personal Data Engine (PDE) enables context-aware, personalized AI experiences. To protect PDE, Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection (KEEP) creates encrypted, app-specific storage environments, while Knox Vault adds a tamper-resistant physical layer for sensitive information.19 These system-level protections work together with Advanced Intelligence settings and Personal Data Intelligence to help users control how AI features manage and use personal data . One UI 9.0 also introduces a new AI Assistant Activity dashboard, giving users a centralized view of AI automations running on their behalf. Instead of moving across multiple apps and services to understand what happened, users can review AI actions in one place and navigate directly to the relevant agent for additional context and settings. Enhanced Privacy Alerts also proactively notify users about potential privacy risks, including unnecessary attempts to access background authorizations, helping them respond before those risks become invisible. These updates build on Galaxy's existing security and privacy portfolio which includes Auto Blocker, Theft Protection, Private Sharing, Secure Wi-Fi and more. Together, these advancements help users take a more active role in managing personal data and AI activities, with transparency, clearer choices and stronger protections at the core of their experience — helping ensure that more personal AI experiences remain grounded in trust.
