Samsung rewrites the rules: Everything about the new Galaxy Z Fold 8, Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8

Foldable smartphones have long ceased to be just an experiment, and this year Samsung has firmly established its leading position with the premiere of its newest generation of devices. With the 8 series, the tech giant not only refines the already familiar formula, but also introduces an entirely new player to the field – the long-awaited Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra.

Let's take a look at what makes the new Galaxy Z Fold 8, Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 so special and why they are the biggest leap in the evolution of foldable devices to date.

👑 Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra: The new king of productivity

The rumors have finally been confirmed. Samsung introduced its first "Ultra" foldable model, created for the most demanding users who make no compromises.

• Top-tier cameras: The model adopts the photographic power of the Galaxy S series. It is equipped with an impressive 200MP main sensor and an advanced periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom.
• Huge display: The inner screen has grown to a staggering 8.0 inches, turning the device into a true pocket tablet.

📱 Galaxy Z Fold 8: The refined classic

The standard Fold 8 maintains the balance between innovation and accessibility (in the context of foldable devices), offering drastic design improvements.

• Ultra-thin profile: Samsung's engineers have completely redesigned the hinge. When closed, the Fold 8 has a thickness of under 10 mm, making it feel like a completely traditional smartphone in the hand.
• Almost invisible crease: The new flexible panel makes the crease in the middle of the screen practically imperceptible both to the touch and to the eye.
• Optimized battery: Despite the thinner body, the battery has been increased thanks to new high-density technologies, guaranteeing a full day of intensive work.

🎀 Galaxy Z Flip 8: Style that communicates

The favorite of the fashion industry and influencers – Z Flip, receives its most significant visual and functional update.

• Edge-to-edge screen: The external display now covers absolutely the entire front panel (with the exception of the cutouts for the camera lenses). This allows writing messages, watching videos and using full-fledged applications without opening the phone at all.
• Powerful cameras: The Flip 8 gets a new 50MP main sensor, which finally brings it on par with the S-series flagships for low-light photography.
• Galaxy AI integration: The external screen is home to new AI widgets that automatically analyze your habits and display the most important information (flights, messages, weather) right when you need it.
