Samsung has unveiled its new Galaxy Z series, and pre-orders placed through Amazon US are being offered a $350 Amazon gift card ( up to ) alongside the launch of three foldable models: the Galaxy Z Fold8, Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, and Galaxy Z Flip8. Pre-orders are open now in select markets, including the US — the Galaxy Z Fold8 pre-order listing is live on Amazon US↗.
Key additions across the lineup include Flex Titanium display technology, a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform for Galaxy in the Fold8 and Fold8 Ultra, an Exynos 2600 in the Flip8, and Galaxy AI features such as Now Brief, Now Nudge, and deeper Gemini Intelligence integration.
Each model targets a different use case — Fold8 for everyday content discovery, Fold8 Ultra for productivity and content creation, and Flip8 for quick, expressive interactions through a redesigned FlexWindow.
A New Display Structure — Flex Titanium
Samsung says its new Flex Titanium technology introduces a titanium-based display structure across the lineup, combining a titanium-alloy film with an enhanced titanium plate. According to Samsung, this is intended to make the foldables thinner while maintaining durability, strengthening display support, absorbing pressure and impact, and reducing crease visibility over time. The company also states the structure refines how the device opens, balancing hinge mechanics, display tension, and magnetic force for a smoother unfolding motion.
The main displays reach up to 3,000 nits of brightness with Vision Booster and a low-reflection finish, which Samsung says keeps the screen visible in outdoor settings.
Galaxy Z Fold8 — Display Ratios Built Around Content
The Galaxy Z Fold8 carries a 6.5-inch cover screen with a 10:16 ratio, meant for quick tasks like messaging and short-form video, and a 7.6-inch main display at a 4:3 ratio for reading, gaming, and video when unfolded. Rotated, the same main-display ratio is suited to longer-form reading like articles and e-books.
At 201 grams, Samsung describes it as its lightest Galaxy Z Fold to date, running on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform for Galaxy with a 4,800 mAh battery.
The rear camera setup uses dual 50 MP sensors across wide and ultra-wide lenses. Fold8 also includes Dual Recording, which captures both the rear and cover-screen preview at once, and My FanCam, which Samsung says automatically tracks a selected subject and reframes footage into a chosen aspect ratio.
Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra — Built for Productivity
The Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra brings an 8-inch main display and Samsung’s Ultra camera standard to the foldable lineup. The company describes it as its slimmest Z Fold design yet, at 4.1 mm unfolded and 215 grams.
Camera hardware includes a 200 MP main sensor — now with HDR support in 200 MP mode — plus a new 50 MP ultra-wide camera and improved Nightography for low-light shooting. For video, the Fold8 Ultra supports 8K recording through a new APV codec and adds Cine LUT for on-device color grading.
Power comes from the same Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 platform paired with a 5,000 mAh battery and a new dual-path charging architecture at 45W, which Samsung says distributes power more efficiently across the battery system. An expanded graphite cooling structure is included for sustained thermal performance under heavier workloads.
Galaxy Z Flip8 — A Reworked FlexWindow
The Galaxy Z Flip8 weighs 180 grams at 6.1 mm unfolded, which Samsung calls its slimmest and lightest Flip. The FlexWindow has been rebuilt as what Samsung describes as an AI-native interface, surfacing apps, insights, and actions directly on the cover screen. Now Brief appears on the FlexWindow home screen with timely insights, and Gemini Intelligence automation can be triggered from the FlexWindow through the side key or voice.
The camera system centers on a 50 MP selfie camera with Samsung’s ProVisual Engine, along with Flex Mode for hands-free angles, Camcorder Grip with a Zoom Rocker, Super Steady with a Horizontal Lock option, and FlipShot for personalized mirror-selfie framing. The Flip8 runs on an Exynos 2600 chip with a 4,300 mAh battery.
Galaxy AI Across the Lineup
Samsung has tailored its Galaxy AI features to each form factor. Now Brief delivers personalized insights based on routines and interests, and the company says it now also surfaces security and privacy alerts. Now Nudge is designed to turn conversation context into next steps, such as checking a schedule or saving a location.
Gemini Intelligence extends app automation to more than 40 supported apps and services, according to Samsung, covering tasks like looking up tickets or booking a restaurant reservation. Gemini Notebook lets users combine notes, images, recordings, and documents into a single workspace, with drag-and-drop support in Split view for turning that content into summaries, audio overviews, or reports.
Security and Privacy
Samsung Knox protects the devices from the chip up, and the company says its Personal Data Engine enables on-device personalization while Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection and Knox Vault add encrypted storage and a tamper-resistant hardware layer for sensitive data. One UI 9 introduces an AI Assistant Activity dashboard for reviewing automated actions taken on the user’s behalf, along with expanded Privacy Alerts for background permission attempts.
Colors
All three models are available in Graphite and Cream. Additional standard colors are Violet Shadow (Fold8 Ultra), Lavender (Fold8), and Pink (Flip8). Online-exclusive colors on Samsung.com include Green Shadow (Fold8 Ultra), Pistachio (Fold8), and Mint (Flip8).
Pre-Order Bonuses and Support
Samsung is offering a 6-month free trial of Google AI Pro, including 5 TB of cloud storage, with the new Galaxy Z series. Buyers switching from iOS can use the updated Smart Switch to transfer data — including passwords, passkeys, call history, and eSIM data — via QR code without installing a separate app, and Quick Share now works in both directions with AirDrop.
Customers who purchase a new Galaxy foldable on Samsung.com and enroll in a monthly Samsung Care+ plan receive the first three months of coverage at no cost. Samsung Care+ covers accidental damage repairs, extended warranty, and certified support. On Amazon US, the pre-order bonus is a $350 Amazon gift card for qualifying purchases.
