Samsung Announces Early Deliveries of Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold8, and Galaxy Z Flip8 for Pre-booked Customers in India

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 Z Fold8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold8, and Galaxy Z Flip8 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.

Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra: The Most Advanced Foldable for Productivity

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.

Galaxy Z Fold8: New Foldable Experience Focused on Immersive Viewing

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.

Galaxy Z Flip8: An AI-Native Flip Experience

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.

Galaxy AI Introduces More Personal and Proactive Experiences

The new Galaxy Z series 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.

Security and Privacy Built into the Experience

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.
