<p>Samsung Electronics today announced Galaxy S26 FE, the newest addition to the Galaxy S26 family and the first in the lineup to launch with One UI 9 — bringing the latest premium Galaxy experiences to more users from day one. With enhanced camera capabilities and more context-aware Galaxy AI, it elevates how users capture, create, and connect every day. Built around what users value most in a thin and light design, Galaxy S26 FE carries the iconic Galaxy S experience forward.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Sharper Capture, Effortless Editing</strong></h2>



<p>Galaxy S26 FE delivers a more capable camera experience<sup data-fn="6f350d9c-2283-42e1-8581-37296193d7bb" class="fn"><a href="#6f350d9c-2283-42e1-8581-37296193d7bb" id="6f350d9c-2283-42e1-8581-37296193d7bb-link">1</a></sup> from capture to edit, with an enhanced triple rear camera and advanced image processing that help users capture and refine the moments that matter — whether shooting still scenes or fast-moving action.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/27114501/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-S26-FE_Main2.gif" alt="The feature of My FanCam" class="wp-image-176822" /></figure>

<li>Galaxy S26 FE supports <strong>3x optical zoom</strong>, giving users more confidence when shooting from a distance.

Plus, edits can be reviewed step by step and revised or undone along the way.</li>



<li>With <strong>Gemini Omni</strong>,<sup data-fn="a78db202-c199-4292-8873-d38a445b0244" class="fn"><a href="#a78db202-c199-4292-8873-d38a445b0244" id="a78db202-c199-4292-8873-d38a445b0244-link">7</a></sup> users can easily create and edit videos clips based on photo and videos from their Gallery, turning them into polished, ready-to-share videos.</li>

We will continue to build on this foundation to offer even richer listening experiences in the future.”</p>



<p>Galaxy Buds4 Pro delivers Samsung’s most advanced audio experience to date, with standout features including:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>A newly designed wider woofer </strong>that increases the effective speaker area by nearly 20% over the previous generation, paired with a dedicated tweeter to deliver clean bass, rich treble, and 24-bit/96 kHz UHQ audio true to the original recording.

<p>Samsung India today announced the Top 40 semi-finalist teams of Samsung Solve for Tomorrow, its flagship youth innovation programme that gives young people a platform to identify challenges around them and turn their ideas into solutions through mentorship, technology, prototyping and hands-on learning.</p>



<p>Now in its fifth edition in India in 2026, Samsung Solve for Tomorrow is open to young people aged 14 to 22 and is designed to nurture problem-solving and innovation among the country’s next generation.</p>



<p>The Top 40 represent 15 states and 26 cities, with more than half of the teams coming from Tier 2 and Tier 3 India. Young innovators from Varanasi, Coimbatore, Guntur, Amritsar, Sundargarh and Rajkot have made it to the national semi-finals alongside teams from major technology and education hubs.</p>



<p>The shortlist comprises 10 teams each across the four themes of Samsung Solve for Tomorrow 2026 – AI Living for India, Health and Education, Environmental Sustainability, and Sport & Tech.</p>



<p>“What stands out in this year’s Top 40 is how closely young people are looking at the world around them. They are identifying problems in their communities, classrooms, farms, businesses and playing fields, and asking how technology can make a difference. The fact that more than half of these teams come from Tier 2 and Tier 3 India is particularly encouraging because it shows that the next generation of innovation can emerge from anywhere. Our role through Samsung Solve for Tomorrow is to give these young innovators the mentorship, technology and opportunity to turn their ambition into impact. As Samsung completes 30 years in India, we want to continue investing in the ideas and talent that will shape the country’s next 30 years,” said SP Chun, Corporate Vice President, Samsung Southwest Asia.</p>



<p>The semi-finalists are working on ideas ranging from AI tools that could make financial and essential information more accessible to solutions for agricultural residue, assistive technologies for people with disabilities, affordable healthcare and education tools, and technologies designed to make sport more inclusive.</p>



<p>Among the Top 40 is AIRMED from Guntur, Andhra Pradesh, which is exploring how AI could help built about India as a global healthcare destination. AIRMED wants to connect overseas patients with Indian hospitals.</p>



<p>Code Blooded from Sundargarh, Odisha uses specialised AI to identify sporting talent among para-athletes in smaller cities and rural areas.</p>



<p>AcoustiNode Systems from Thrissur, Kerala addresses dam management through better hydrological intelligence, with the aim of reducing poorly informed reservoir releases and improving flood, irrigation and power-management decisions.</p>



<p>QuantHunt from Raebareli, Uttar Pradesh tackles the emerging cybersecurity threats, where encrypted data stolen today could potentially be decrypted as computing capabilities advance.</p>



<p>Other teams are developing technology to help visually-impaired swimmers train more independently, an AI companion aimed at improving access to education for visually impaired students, a solution that can turn existing classroom projectors into interactive learning platforms, and technology designed to convert biomass into clean energy and useful carbon resources.</p>



<p>“The transition from an interesting idea to a viable solution is often the most difficult part of the innovation journey. What is encouraging about this cohort is that 25 of the Top 40 teams have already started building prototypes. The next phase will challenge them to test their assumptions, learn from users, strengthen their technology and think more deeply about how their solutions can work at scale. That process of learning by building is fundamental to creating strong innovators,” said Dr Nikhil Agrawal, Managing Director, Foundation for Innovation and Technology Transfer (FITT), IIT Delhi.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">From Ideas to Prototypes</h2>



<p>The Top 40 will now enter an intensive phase of Samsung Solve for Tomorrow designed to help them develop and strengthen their ideas.</p>



<p>An Innovation Bootcamp, scheduled to begin in September, will give participants exposure to Samsung’s innovation ecosystem, including visits to Samsung R&D centres in Bengaluru, Delhi and Noida, as well as its Southwest Asia headquarters.</p>



<p>The teams will subsequently undergo intensive training and mentoring with FITT, IIT Delhi, receiving guidance on prototyping, problem-solving and developing their ideas for real-world application. Alumni from previous editions of Samsung Solve for Tomorrow will also participate in the mentoring journey, allowing participants to learn from young innovators who have previously gone through the programme.</p>



<p>The semi-final stage will culminate in a National Pitch Event, where the teams will present their solutions before a Samsung jury. Twenty finalist teams will advance to the last stage of the competition.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Awards and Support</h2>



<p>Top 40 teams will receive a cumulative ₹8 lakh for prototype development, while each team member will receive a Samsung laptop.</p>



<p>The Top 20 teams will receive a cumulative ₹20 lakh for prototype enhancement, along with the latest Samsung Galaxy Z Flip smartphone for each team member.</p>



<p>At the culmination of Samsung Solve for Tomorrow 2026, the Top 4 winning teams will receive a cumulative grant of ₹2 crore from Samsung for incubation at IIT Delhi, helping them further develop and scale their solutions.</p>



<p>The programme will also recognize participants through special awards at the Grand Finale, including the Digital Impact Award of ₹50,000 and 2 Community Choice Awards of ₹1 lakh each.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Five Years of Taking Innovation Across India</h2>



<p>Samsung Solve for Tomorrow was launched in India in 2022 to give young people a platform to identify problems that matter to them and develop ideas into solutions through mentorship, technology and hands-on learning.</p>



<p>Several youth-led startups have been incorporated through the programme since 2022. Over the past four years, Samsung has invested in nurturing young innovation through ₹2 crore in incubation grants at IIT Delhi and over ₹3 crore in cash prizes and technology products, providing emerging innovators with the resources and support to turn ideas into solutions.</p>



<p>Now in its fifth edition, the programme has progressively expanded its reach beyond India’s largest cities. Ahead of the Top 100 selection this year, Samsung conducted 184 Design Thinking Workshops across 135 cities, taking innovation and problem-solving directly to young people across the country.</p>



<p>As Samsung celebrates 30 years in India, Solve for Tomorrow reflects the company’s long-term commitment to supporting young people and strengthening India’s innovation ecosystem.</p>



<p>Globally, Samsung Solve for Tomorrow was launched in the United States in 2010 and has since expanded to 68 countries, engaging more than 3 million young people worldwide. The programme is part of Samsung Electronics’ global CSR vision, “Together for Tomorrow! Enabling People.”</p>

<p>Samsung Electronics today announced the completion of a new heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) manufacturing facility operated by FläktGroup, a Samsung company, in Pune, Maharashtra, strengthening Samsung’s push into the fast-growing AI data centre cooling and HVAC markets in India and across Asia-Pacific.</p>



<p>The Pune facility is the first new FläktGroup manufacturing facility to become operational since Samsung Electronics completed its acquisition of the global HVAC specialist in November 2025, marking an important milestone in the integration of the two companies and their strategy to expand Samsung’s global HVAC business. Strategically located near Mumbai and major logistics infrastructure, the plant will help supply HVAC solutions more quickly to customers not only in India but also across the Asia-Pacific region. </p>



<p>Samsung Electronics held a ceremony at the new facility on August 12, attended by Cheolgi Kim, Executive Vice President and Head of Digital Appliance (DA) Business, David Dorney, CEO, FläktGroup, executives from both companies, and representatives from major customers. The event was attended by over 100 people.</p>



<p><em>“The completion of the production line in Pune, India, marks a significant milestone in expanding our HVAC supply beyond India to the broader Asia-Pacific region. By combining Samsung’s AI and platform technologies with FläktGroup’s HVAC expertise, we will deliver exceptional value to a diverse range of customers, including AI data centers,” said<strong> Cheolgi Kim, Executive Vice President and Head of Digital Appliance (DA) Business.</strong></em></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1000" height="736" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/in/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/13153639/Image-1-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-32469" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">▲ Second and third from left – Cheolgi Kim, Executive Vice President and Head of Digital Appliance (DA) Business, Samsung Electronics; David Dorney, CEO of FläktGroup</figcaption></figure>



<p>The new production facility, including the production line, office, and auxiliary facilities, covers an area of approximately 13,826 square meters. The facility moved from equipment installation to mass production in just six months. FläktGroup plans to progressively expand production to up to 6,500 HVAC units annually.<br><br>The Pune plant will manufacture a broad portfolio of FläktGroup solutions, including its flagship Air Handling Units (AHUs), Fan Wall Units (FWUs) and Computer Air Handlers (CRAHs) for AI data centres and other critical infrastructure.</p>



<p>AHUs use chilled water to cool indoor environments while helping maintain air quality and are widely deployed in data centres and large commercial buildings. FWUs use multiple high-capacity fans to efficiently remove heat from server environments, while CRAHs provide precision temperature, humidity and air-quality management for mission-critical IT equipment. </p>



<p>The new facility builds on FläktGroup’s plants in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh. Together, its Greater Noida and Pune operations will strengthen local manufacturing, improve customer responsiveness and support Samsung’s ambition to build a stronger HVAC business in India, for India and the wider Asia-Pacific region. By combining FläktGroup’s specialised HVAC and critical-cooling expertise with Samsung’s AI and technology capabilities, global reach and scale, the companies aim to accelerate the development and delivery of next-generation cooling solutions for AI data centres and other high-growth infrastructure sectors.<br></p>

<p>Samsung Electronics today announced that its Galaxy Buds <strong>Hearing Aid</strong> feature has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance. The feature enables compatible Galaxy Buds<sup data-fn="5f629072-243a-47f8-b522-86af44cba63f" class="fn"><a href="#5f629072-243a-47f8-b522-86af44cba63f" id="5f629072-243a-47f8-b522-86af44cba63f-link">1</a></sup> to serve as an over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aid,<sup data-fn="d1dec88b-1ca0-46c3-823a-53bf8cfa2c9d" class="fn"><a href="#d1dec88b-1ca0-46c3-823a-53bf8cfa2c9d" id="d1dec88b-1ca0-46c3-823a-53bf8cfa2c9d-link">2</a></sup> offering users 18 years and older a convenient solution for addressing perceived mild to moderate hearing loss — which may be indicated by difficulty following conversations in noisy environments — without a prescription or clinic visit. Users can also diagnose their hearing with the Galaxy Buds <strong>Hearing Test</strong> feature, which is registered as a Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) and provides medical-grade results.</p>



<p>“Hearing health is a vital component of our overall well-being, profoundly impacting how we communicate, connect with loved ones and engage with the world,” said Hon Pak, Senior Vice President and Head of the Digital Health Team for the Mobile eXperience (MX) Business at Samsung Electronics. “With the latest clearance from the FDA, we are expanding access to hearing support and making proactive care effortless by integrating the Hearing Test and Hearing Aid functionality directly into the Galaxy Buds.”</p>



<p>Hearing loss is incredibly common, yet it remains one of the most overlooked health conditions worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that globally, more than 1.5 billion people experience some degree of hearing loss — a figure projected to reach 2.5 billion people by 2050. Despite this, many people who could benefit from hearing aids do not use them due to high cost, social stigma or limited access to professional care.</p>



<p>Samsung has been committed to advancing hearing support technologies for consumers since 2020. That year, the company introduced a Personal Sound Amplification Product (PSAP) feature on Galaxy Buds+.</p>



<p>The PSAP feature was clinically validated in 2021 as effective support for daily communication for those with hearing loss, building the foundation for the Hearing Aid feature. To develop this new OTC solution, Samsung collaborated closely with the National Acoustic Laboratories (NAL) and Samsung Medical Center (SMC). The resulting technology is backed by robust clinical validation studies conducted at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, San Jose State University and the University of Memphis.</p>

<p>Samsung’s holistic hearing health experience centers around two major features integrated directly into Galaxy Buds without requiring a separate app<sup data-fn="2ad7f1c4-3507-49b8-9340-84ea07244074" class="fn"><a href="#2ad7f1c4-3507-49b8-9340-84ea07244074" id="2ad7f1c4-3507-49b8-9340-84ea07244074-link">3</a></sup>. By navigating to the Galaxy Buds menu in Settings, users can complete a self-administered <strong>Hearing Test</strong> in just five minutes. Using clinical-grade, pure-tone audiometry, the software tests each ear individually to pinpoint the user’s specific hearing deficits. It then generates an audiogram with accuracy comparable to a professional audiologist’s evaluation. The results categorize the user’s hearing as normal or one of four stages of hearing loss: mild, moderate, severe or profound.</p>



<p>Based on those results, the <strong>Hearing Aid </strong>feature amplifies the sounds users have difficulty hearing — such as high frequencies, surrounding whispers and distant voices — personalized to each user’s hearing profile. Hearing Aid also supports additional advanced features typically found in premium hearing aids, such as noise elimination and beamforming, which help focus sounds in front of the user and suppress background noise.</p>



<p>Galaxy Buds use NAL-NL2, recognized globally as the clinical standard formula for fitting prescription hearing aid. This advanced approach ensures highly personalized, accurate results tailored to each individual’s hearing profile.</p>



<p>To give users a comprehensive view of their overall wellness, hearing-related insights — including noise exposure levels and Hearing Test results — are accessible directly within the Samsung Health app.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong><u>Availability</u></strong></h4>



<p>The Hearing Aid and Hearing Test features will be available on Galaxy Buds3 Pro and Galaxy Buds4 Pro in the U.S. and select approved markets in Q4 2026.<br></p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The New Galaxy Z Series: Three Distinct Foldable Experiences</strong></h2>



<p>Built on seven generations of foldable innovation and consumer insight, the new Galaxy Z series gives users more choice than ever, with three distinct experiences engineered to fit different needs.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="768" height="1024" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/in/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/07165147/image-1.png" alt="" class="wp-image-32412" /></figure>



<p>Galaxy Z Fold8 introduces a fresh form factor built around the way people explore, discover and immerse themselves in their favorite content. Its display ratios are designed to move naturally with users throughout the day – from quick interactions like messaging, browsing and short-form video on the <strong>wider cover screen</strong> to more immersive viewing, reading and gaming on the <strong>4:3 main display</strong>. With Gemini Notebook, users can bring together notes, images, recordings, files, and documents in one workspace to collect, organize, and develop their ideas. At just 201 g, it is Samsung’s lightest Galaxy Z Fold yet, while Samsung’s new <strong>Flex Titanium</strong> technology helps support a slimmer display structure with lasting durability and reduced crease visibility over time.</p>



<p>Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra brings Galaxy’s renowned Ultra standard to foldables, combining a larger workspace with an upgraded camera system and performance built for demanding creative workflows. Its expansive 8-inch main display opens up more room for multitasking, while <strong>Now Nudge<a href="#_edn1" id="_ednref1"><strong>[1]</strong></a></strong> helps users move from conversation to action by suggesting relevant next steps across supported apps.</p>



<p>The <strong>200 MP main camera</strong> now supports <strong>High Dynamic Range (HDR)</strong> in 200 MP mode for richer detail, color and clarity. A new 50 MP ultra-wide camera adds greater flexibility for wider scenes and macro shots, helping users capture more from one device.

<p>Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra also features a <strong>5,000 mAh battery<a href="#_edn3" id="_ednref3"><strong>[3]</strong></a>, </strong>45 W fast charging and an expanded graphite cooling structure – all in Galaxy’s slimmest Z Fold design yet, measuring just 4.1 mm when unfolded and weighing 215 g.</p>



<p>Galaxy Z Flip8, Samsung’s sleekest Flip ever released, is built for expression and quick interaction on the go. Its reimagined <strong>FlexWindow</strong> brings apps, insights, actions and assistance directly to the cover screen. <strong>Now Brief<a href="#_edn4" id="_ednref4"><strong>[4]</strong></a></strong> surfaces personalized information based on users’ schedules, routines and interests. Users can also access Gemini from the <strong>FlexWindow</strong> through side-key activation or natural voice requests, making it easier to complete connected actions on the go. Galaxy Z Flip8 further enhances Samsung’s signature Flip camera experience with a 50 MP camera, ProVisual Engine and FlexCam experiences that make it easier to capture, preview and share polished photos and videos from flexible angles.</p>

<p>Samsung today announced the early delivery of its highly anticipated new foldable smartphones—the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold8, and Galaxy Z Flip8—to customers who pre-booked the devices in India. The Galaxy <a href="https://www.samsung.com/in/smartphones/galaxy-z-fold8-ultra/">Z Fold8 Ultra</a>, Galaxy <a href="https://www.samsung.com/in/smartphones/galaxy-z-fold8/">Z Fold8</a>, and Galaxy <a href="https://www.samsung.com/in/smartphones/galaxy-z-flip8/">Z Flip8</a> have witnessed an overwhelming response, securing over 271,000 pre-orders within just 72 hours of the launch on July 22 in India. In comparison, the previous generation took 15 days to achieve a similar number of pre-orders for the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7, signalling the continued mainstream adoption of foldable technology.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra: The Most Advanced Foldable for Productivity</strong></h2>



<p>The Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra brings Samsung’s highest level of performance to the foldable category, combining a large 8-inch main display, advanced camera system and hardware built for demanding workflows. It is just 4.1mm thin and weighs 215g, making it Samsung’s slimmest Fold design yet. The 200MP main camera with HDR, and a new 50MP ultra-wide lens with improved Nightography deliver greater detail in any light, while 8K video recording with the new APV codec and Cine LUT tools give creators more control. Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy platform and a 5000mAh battery with 45W fast charging, it supports a full day of work and content creation.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong><strong>Galaxy Z Fold8: New Foldable Experience Focused on Immersive Viewing</strong></strong></h2>



<p>The Galaxy Z Fold8 is designed for smooth transitions from quick cover-screen interactions to immersive viewing, reading and gaming when unfolded. Its display adapts to different types of content. When folded, the 10:16 cover screen is designed for tasks such as messaging, social media, web browsing and watching short-form video. When unfolded, the 4:3 main display provides a larger viewing area for games and films while reducing unused screen space for 16:9 content. When rotated, the display ratio becomes better suited for reading articles and e-books. Weighing just 201g with a 4800mAh battery, it is Samsung’s lightest Galaxy Z Fold yet. The new Flex Titanium display structure reduces crease visibility and improves durability, while the main display reaches up to 3000 nits of peak brightness. Its dual 50MP camera system, Dual Recording and My FanCam features make capturing and editing content easier across different scenes.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Galaxy Z Flip8: An AI-Native Flip Experience</strong></h2>



<p>The Galaxy Z Flip8 is designed for quick interactions and personal expression, built around an AI-native FlexWindow that brings apps, information and Gemini Intelligence directly to the cover screen. Weighing 180g and just 6.1mm thin, it is Samsung’s slimmest and lightest Flip yet. Its 50MP camera, powered by Samsung’s ProVisual Engine, delivers detailed portraits and natural skin tones, while Flex Mode, Super Steady with Horizon Lock, FlipShot and Cover Screen Mirror support hands-free and cover-screen photography.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Galaxy AI Introduces More Personal and Proactive Experiences</strong></h2>



<p>The new <a href="https://www.samsung.com/in/smartphones/galaxy-z/">Galaxy Z series</a> represents the next stage of Galaxy AI, with Now Brief and Now Nudge surfacing relevant information and suggested next steps based on a user’s routines and daily needs. Gemini Intelligence lets users move from request to completed task in fewer steps, with app automation now supported across 49 applications and services, and Notebooks in Gemini organising notes, images and recordings into structured summaries.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Security and Privacy Built into the Experience</strong></h2>



<p>The new Galaxy Z series combines multi-layered security with expanded privacy controls across Galaxy AI. Samsung Knox protects every device from the chip level up, with Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection and Knox Vault securing personal data. One UI 9’s new AI Assistant Activity dashboard gives users a central view of AI actions, while Enhanced Privacy Alerts notify them of potential privacy risks, offering greater transparency and control.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Ideas Built Around Real Problems</strong></h2>



<p>The Top 100 teams will develop innovative solutions across four themes – AI Living for India, Health and Education, Sport & Tech, and Environmental Sustainability, addressing real-world challenges through technology. Some of their ideas are highlighted below.</p>

<p>The Top 40 teams will progress to a 10-day Innovation Bootcamp, where they will receive intensive mentoring from startup founders and industry experts at FITT-IIT Delhi.  They will also have an opportunity to visit Samsung R&D Institute India-Delhi, Samsung R&D Institute India-Bangalore, Samsung R&D Institute India-Noida, Samsung Design Delhi and Samsung India Head Office in Gurugram.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Supporting Innovation Beyond the Competition</strong></h2>



<p>Each Top 100 team will receive a certificate recognizing its achievement.</p>



<p>The Top 40 teams will collectively receive INR 8 lakh along with the latest Samsung laptops for every team member to accelerate prototype development.</p>



<p>Top 20 teams will collectively receive INR 20 lakh for prototype enhancement, along with the latest Samsung Galaxy Z Flip smartphones for every team member. They will then advance to Grand Finale, where they will present their final innovations before a distinguished jury comprising Samsung R&D leaders and industry experts.</p>



<p>During the Grand Finale, the programme will also feature two Community Choice Award carrying a cumulative cash prize of INR 2 lakh, and one Digital Impact Award carrying a cash prize of INR 50,000.</p>



<p>The four winning teams will collectively receive a INR 2 crore grant along with incubation support from FITT-IIT Delhi, enabling them to accelerate the development and commercialisation of their innovations.</p>

<p>Samsung’s 8th generation <a href="https://www.samsung.com/in/smartphones/mobiles-by-design/fold-phone/">foldable smartphones</a>—the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold8, and Galaxy Z Flip8—have shattered pre-order records, underscoring the mainstreaming of foldable technology and unparalleled consumer enthusiasm in India. The new devices recorded over 271000 pre-orders within just 72 hours of their launch on July 22 in India. Last year, Samsung India had taken 15 days to receive a similar number of pre-orders for its Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1000" height="564" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/in/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/29151335/KV-COver.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-32261" /></figure></div>


<p>The Galaxy <a href="https://www.samsung.com/in/smartphones/galaxy-z-fold8-ultra/">Z Fold8 Ultra</a>, Galaxy <a href="https://www.samsung.com/in/smartphones/galaxy-z-fold8/">Z Fold8</a>, and Galaxy <a href="https://www.samsung.com/in/smartphones/galaxy-z-flip8/">Z Flip8</a> have achieved remarkable success, with 45% of pre-orders originating from tier 2 cities and beyond. This underscores a growing demand for foldable devices in these regions, establishing them as a new frontier with immense growth potential.
