Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced the launch of the new Galaxy Z series, its most complete lineup aimed at expanding the reach of foldable devices to a larger user base. The series marks the debut of the new Galaxy Z Fold8 design, delivering an entirely new foldable phone experience focused on how people explore, discover, and fully immerse themselves in their favorite content.

The lineup also includes the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, which brings the concept of superior Galaxy Ultra performance to the foldable world, offering the highest levels of productivity and a larger professional space for content creation. There is also the Galaxy Z Flip8, the thinnest and most elegant in the series, designed to facilitate quick interactions and provide broader options for self-expression on the go. As a continuation of seven generations of foldable device leadership and deep understanding of users, the new Galaxy Z series offers broader choices than ever by providing three distinct experiences, each tailored to meet different user needs.

The Galaxy AI ecosystem has also been developed to adapt to the different designs of the new series devices, enabling a connected experience across the series where insights turn into actionable steps. The ecosystem facilitates multitasking and management on the large screens of the Galaxy Z Fold8 and Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, while the AI-powered FlexWindow on the Galaxy Z Flip8 provides quick access to important information and shortcuts. The Galaxy Z series integrates AI functions into its experiences based on collaboration with partners such as Gemini Intelligence, providing more ways to accomplish tasks with fewer steps, while maintaining the highest levels of privacy, transparency, and user control.

Commenting on the launch of the new device lineup, TM Roh, President and CEO of Samsung Electronics and Head of the Device eXperience (DX) division, said: "As AI evolves toward greater autonomy, smartphones will become the most personal gateway to experiences that understand and adapt to each user. And as we now set a new standard for foldable devices, we are pushing flagship phone experiences forward and opening the door to the next era of intelligence for more people."

All-new Galaxy Z Fold8: An innovative Galaxy Fold experience redefining daily immersion

The Galaxy Z Fold8 features a completely redesigned form factor reimagined to meet the needs of users seeking a foldable device that feels natural in moments when curiosity turns into deeper exploration, and provides a seamless experience when transitioning from quick use on the external display to in-depth exploration, viewing, reading, and gaming on the larger inner screen. With its optimized screen dimensions and long-lasting performance, the Galaxy Z Fold8 maximizes engagement with content, stories, and ideas that capture users' interest.

Design that delivers a deeper exploration experience

Samsung optimized the Galaxy Z Fold8's screen aspect ratios to match how people consume content throughout the day. By aligning the display with the type of content being viewed, the device offers an immersive viewing experience while browsing, watching, reading, and gaming. Weighing just 201 grams, it is the lightest Galaxy Z Fold device to date. Yet, it combines the Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy processor with a larger 4,800mAh battery to deliver smooth, responsive performance and longer-lasting power, allowing users to stay immersed in content for longer.

• When folded, the external display with a 10:165 aspect ratio provides a familiar and comfortable experience for quick daily tasks, such as chatting, browsing social media, scrolling, and watching short videos.

• When opened, the main display with a 4:3 aspect ratio offers a larger viewing area that helps users immerse themselves in games and movies.

• When rotated, the same aspect ratio becomes more suitable for reading, providing a comfortable experience when browsing articles, e-books, and long-form content, without needing a separate device.

• The aspect ratios are designed to align with natural usage patterns, whether quickly checking notifications or during extended sessions, making the Galaxy Z Fold8 experience more immersive.

Structurally and aesthetically enhanced display

Samsung has focused on perfecting the screen engineering in the new Galaxy Z series as the foundation for elevating the foldable device experience, combining the thinnest design, high durability, and smooth display.

• Samsung introduces Flex Titanium technology in this series, which uses a titanium-based screen structure designed to help reduce the thickness of foldable devices while maintaining durability. The device incorporates a titanium alloy layer and an optimized titanium plate, improving screen support, pressure and impact resistance, and minimizing the appearance of the crease over time. This structure also refines the opening mechanism by achieving a precise balance between hinge movement, screen tension, and magnetic force, providing a smoother, lighter, and more fluid opening experience.

• The main display reaches a peak brightness of 3,000 nits, supports Vision Booster technology, and features an anti-reflection coating, ensuring image clarity and vibrant colors even in outdoor environments.

Versatile camera with superior quality

The Galaxy Z Fold8 is designed to easily capture and share memorable moments, whether shooting landscapes, group shots, or spontaneous snaps on the go, while enhancing the functionality for capturing, editing, and sharing photos and videos.

• The dual 50MP rear cameras deliver high resolution across shots with the wide and ultra-wide lenses, maintaining image quality in various shooting and lighting conditions.

• Dual Recording enables simultaneous recording from both sides, with users able to preview themselves on the external display, helping frame shots and accurately capture reactions and shared experiences.

• My FanCam automatically tracks a selected person or object and reframes the scene according to the desired aspect ratio, turning moving shots into videos ready for posting on social media platforms, reducing the need for manual editing.
