Samsung to use Galaxy Z Fold 8, Z Fold 8 Ultra branding for next foldable lineup
SamMobile • • general
Key Points:
- Samsung plans to name its upcoming foldable phones the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, with the Ultra being the successor to the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Fold 8 referring to a wider, shorter model.
- The Galaxy Z Fold 8 will have a wider form factor but will drop one rear camera, similar to the Galaxy S25 Edge, differentiating it from the Ultra model.
- The Ultra branding on the Fold 8 may dilute the premium connotation since it lacks features like Privacy Display, S Pen support, 60W charging, and advanced zoom cameras found in Galaxy S Ultra phones.
- Samsung’s Ultra naming has been in use since 2020, and although Apple’s rumored iPhone Ultra foldable may coincide, Samsung’s decision appears independent of Apple’s influence.
- The Galaxy Z Fold 8 series and Galaxy Z Flip 8 are expected to launch at Samsung’s Unpacked event on July 22, with potential price increases similar to the Galaxy S26 series.
