Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra may be recognizable for its 8-inch folding main display, but the device’s real benefit is more than simply having a larger screen.

Building on established Galaxy tools such as Multi Window¹ and Samsung DeX, new context-aware experiences for foldables, such as Now Nudge,² help keep more of a task visible and make it easier to move from one step to the next without constantly switching apps. Whether you’re researching, planning a trip or editing content, Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra adapts to the way you work, helping you accomplish more from a single device.

Why Is Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra Good for Productivity?

Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra can transition from its 6.5-inch cover screen to its expansive 8-inch main screen³ without losing your place. Start with an app while the device is folded, then open it to continue right where you left off with more room to examine a photo, comfortably review a spreadsheet or work across supported apps side by side.

The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform for Galaxy,⁴ 5,000 mAh battery⁵ and expanded graphite cooling structure help keep the device responsive during demanding multitasking, content creation and AI-powered tasks. Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra is like a mobile workspace that can adapt to the task at hand.

How Do I Use Multiple Apps at Once?

Multi Window lets you run supported apps side by side on the main screen. Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra supports two-way and three-way split view, and you can resize the individual windows to suit your task. Check your calendar while replying to a message, search the web while reviewing a presentation, or use a calculator while reviewing your budget. You can also open supported apps in pop-up view when you want a movable, resizable window over your existing workspace.

You can even quickly access frequently used apps from the Taskbar at the bottom of the main screen, like you would on a tablet. If you regularly use the same apps together — such as Calendar and Messages — you can save them as an app pair and reopen the combination in split view with one tap.

What Is Now Nudge and How Does it Work?

With Now Nudge, Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra automatically recognizes what you’re doing and proactively suggests what you might want to do next. For example, if you’re messaging about meeting up with a friend for dinner, it might suggest adding it to your calendar. When you tap to open your calendar app, the conversation stays visible on one side of your screen, helping you move forward without losing context or manually switching between windows.

What Is Samsung DeX and How Does It Work on Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra?

Samsung DeX makes it possible to use Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra in a desktop-like workspace. Connect a monitor, keyboard and mouse⁶ to work across multiple apps in resizable windows, use a desktop-style taskbar and navigate with a cursor for a complete mobile workstation.

The new gesture makes it easier to access Gemini when reaching for your phone isn’t convenient, helping you get things done with less interruption.

What Can You Do With Gemini on Galaxy Watch?

Get information quickly: Check the forecast, sports scores, and other helpful updates while you’re on the go.

Enjoy music and media: Start music, podcasts, and compatible media playback with a simple request.

Which Galaxy Watches Support Raise to Talk?

The latest generation of foldables were recently unveiled in London where media and content creators from Southeast Asia and Oceania were among the first to experience the new devices.

Tracing a route through the city’s most photographed corners, they explored new perspectives with the Samsung Galaxy Z8 series, capturing everything from historic riverside landmarks to bustling local markets. And here’s how they did it. 

Create Like a Pro: The Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra Flagship Camera System

Whether it was an artistic shot of the Thames or eye-catching street-side architecture, the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra made it easier to capture, refine and share everyday moments with greater clarity and control.

Want the highest resolution photos from the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra?

Introducing the 200MP main camera¹ which captures rich details and clarity, now enhanced with High Dynamic Range (HDR) capability for more true-to-life images.

What’s the best way to get close-up details with the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra?

Use the all-new 50 MP ultra-wide camera to get greater detail and clarity across wider scenes and macro shots. This will give you the flexibility for snapping shots of sweeping landscapes, intricate interiors, or close-up details.

Does the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra take good photos in low light?

Yes. Improved Nightography² helps photos and videos look brighter and clearer in low light, so users can capture standout moments even when lighting isn’t ideal.

A Versatile Camera, Built for the Way Creators Shoot 

The Tower Bridge has been a historic landmark of London on the River Thames since 1894, making it a natural first test for the Galaxy Z Fold8’s camera system. Its iconic twin towers, Victorian architecture and riverside setting offer photographers plenty to frame.

How does the Galaxy Z Fold8 help you turn group footage into more focused video content for socials?

With My FanCam³, users can select a subject that the Galaxy Z Fold8 should track. With this feature, footage can be automatically reframed into a preferred aspect ratio — making polished edits faster and easier with less manual effort.

How can I shoot reaction videos with just my Galaxy Z Fold8?

Dual Recording does it for you: the front and rear cameras work together at the same time, and you can use the cover screen to help you stay in frame while you shoot what’s in front.

With the Galaxy Z Fold8, creativity doesn’t need to wait for the perfect setup. Its advanced dual camera system gives creators like Fahmi greater freedom to capture every angle with clarity, ease, and imagination.

What gives the Galaxy Z Fold8 the ability to shoot from different angles?

The Galaxy Z Fold8’s Dual 50 MP cameras⁴ deliver high resolution detail across wide and ultra-wide shots, preserving image quality for different scenes and shooting conditions.

Redefining Mobile Imaging for Power Users

Against London’s backdrop of vibrant streetscapes and stunning architecture, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra and Galaxy Z Fold8 redefined how moments were preserved, edited, and experienced. With the new Galaxy Z8 series, the city of London was a canvas of fleeting moments, unexpected angles, and stories waiting to be captured by the media and creators.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Can I edit photos and videos directly on the Galaxy Z8 Series?

Yes. The Galaxy Z8 Series lets users capture, edit, and share photos and video in one continuous flow, without switching to another device. On the expansive foldable display, Galaxy AI editing tools — including My FanCam, which keeps a chosen person centered in a saved video — make polished edits faster on the phone itself.

Q. What camera sensors does the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra have?

The Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra has different options that users can choose according to their needs. The 200 MP Wide with 2x optical quality zoom is great for ultra-high-resolution photos and advanced detail. The 10 MP Telephoto with 3x optical zoom delivers clear shots even when zoomed in. For expansive landscape and group photos, users can pick the 50 MP Ultra Wide.

Meanwhile, the 10 MP cover screen camera is ideal for sharp natural selfies and the 10 MP main screen’s camera has a 100-degree field of view so users can get more people in the shot when taking group selfies.

Q. Can I transfer my data from another phone to a Galaxy Z8 series device?

Yes. With the updated Smart Switch, iOS users scan a QR code and transfer data wirelessly — including passwords, passkeys, call history, accessibility settings and eSIM data — without downloading additional apps.

You’re probably familiar with the gaps that happen every day – the half-made dinner plan in a group chat, meeting notes scattered across three apps, and that one tiny thing you meant to sort out three hours ago. But stress no more – with Galaxy AI on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold8, and Galaxy Z Flip8, get ready to transform your thoughts into action.

You heard that right – Galaxy AI on the new Z8 series has been optimized to each of the foldable form factors, with intuitive helpful features that make it easier to stay in control of your day, even when life gets busy.

And what’s great is that all this intelligence happens on a screen that unfolds into an expansive display — so the conversation you’re having and the task you’re working on can sit side by side if you wish, providing helpful reference when needed, while reducing the hassle of toggling between apps. Another good part? If you’re reading this on a mobile that’s not Galaxy, getting here might be even easier than you think.

Start the Day Knowing What Matters

Can my phone provide a daily summary of my to-do list and important things I should take note of?

For many people, the morning usually begins with a dozen things half-loaded in mind — an upcoming work deadline, a reply you owe a friend, a dinner plan with family for tonight — and keeping them straight has been your job alone. Now Brief¹ takes on that job, surfacing personalized insights tailored to your routines, interests and daily needs. Without unfolding your Galaxy Z Flip8, the FlexWindow also offers a view of the day’s weather, schedule and important notifications at a glance.

In 2026, Now Brief also keeps an eye out for you, by surfacing security and privacy insights, as well as flagging potential risks alongside the day’s priorities. By the time your first coffee is done, you already have everything you need to know for the day ahead.

Anticipating the Next Step

How can the Galaxy Z8 series help me coordinate and manage my schedule?

Late morning, a dinner plan starts to take shape in your group chat. Everyone’s keen, but no one’s checked a schedule or picked a place — and this is exactly where plans usually stall. Now Nudge² catches them: when plans begin brewing in a conversation, it surfaces relevant next steps like checking calendars for a suitable date and time to keep things moving.

On the Galaxy Z Fold8’s unfolded main display, those suggestions sit right beside the conversation, so the chat can continue while your plan comes together – less manual effort but more progress.

Getting Things Done

How can my mobile phone help me finish tasks with less effort?

Knowing what you need to do is the first step. But having to toggle between three different apps can be a big obstacle. With the hassle of tab-switching and copy-pasting, it’s no wonder tasks get abandoned halfway. But with Galaxy AI on Samsung’s latest Galaxy Z8 Series, when you need something, all you have to do is simply ask.

Gemini Intelligence can help you move from request to result in fewer steps: simply describe what you need in a natural voice or through text, or add screen or image context. App automation³ works across more than 40 supported apps and services — whether it’s looking up tickets, finding a nearby restaurant and making the reservation.  

On the Galaxy Z Flip8, such automation⁴ is even easier to access: the AI-ready FlexWindow lets you cue connected actions with a side-key press or a natural voice request. You don’t even have to open the device for Automation – you can cue and monitor progress directly on the cover screen. The dinner plan that began in your group chat an hour ago? That’s now a confirmed table.

Turning Scattered Information into Useful Outputs

Can my mobile phone help me quickly organize my meeting notes?

By afternoon, a long meeting has just ended, and the recap you owe your team lives everywhere at once — a voice memo, photos of a whiteboard, half-typed notes in two languages.

Gemini Notebook is that one, consistent workplace where you can collect, organize and develop your ideas. Whether your content is in notes, images, recordings, files, or document format, use Gemini Notebook to transform that content into meeting recaps, reports, visual summaries, infographics or audio overviews.

On the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, drag-and-drop in Split view makes your workflow even more direct and simple: retain your source material on one side of the 8.0-inch main display⁵, and see the finished recap taking shape on the other. Getting organized – even on the go – then becomes one shareable document with minimal time and effort.

Ending the Day a Step Ahead

Usually the day just ends — whatever didn’t get done rolls quietly into tomorrow, unexamined. This evening looks different. Dinner’s booked and the recap’s sent so you can wind down today and calmly look forward to tomorrow.

At Galaxy Unpacked this July, Samsung unveiled the newest additions to the Galaxy portfolio, continuing the legacy, innovation and leadership that have defined the foldable category across generations of the Galaxy Z series.

Galaxy Z Flip8, Galaxy Z Fold8 and Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra combine intelligent capabilities with innovative form factors to deliver more personal and adaptive experiences while setting a new standard for the AI era.

Is it time for an upgrade? Here’s how the latest Galaxy Z series foldables unfold new experiences:

Thinner and Lighter

It’s no secret that Samsung is always working to deliver devices that integrate into your life seamlessly. Part of doing that is creating devices that feel comfortable and natural to use. New generations of Galaxy Z series foldables offer thinner and lighter designs, and when it comes to Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra and Galaxy Z Flip8, the difference is clear. Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra is thinner than Galaxy Z Fold7, and Galaxy Z Flip8 is nearly 0.5 mm thinner and 8 g lighter than Galaxy Z Flip7. The new Galaxy Z Fold8 is Samsung’s lightest Galaxy Z Fold yet at just 201 g.[1]

Elevated Camera Experiences

Galaxy Z Fold8’s dual 50 MP cameras deliver consistent high-resolution detail across wide and ultra-wide perspectives.

We know that camera capabilities play a huge role in your decision to upgrade or not. So, year after year, we innovate toward offering the best camera experience possible with options that best suit your needs.

Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra features the most powerful camera experience ever offered in the Galaxy Z series. The 200 MP Wide camera and upgraded 50 MP Ultra Wide camera allow you to take scenic shots in high-resolution detail. Plus, wider apertures on the Ultra-Wide sensor provide improved brightness compared with Galaxy Z Fold7. And the new My FanCam[2] feature gives you added versatility to reframe and track the subject of your video.

Galaxy Z Flip8 gives you the ability to go hands-free with FlexCam while the lens picks up true-to-life details, so your pictures are always authentically you. Plus, Super Steady now offers a Horizontal Lock[3] option to help keep your footage looking smooth.

Better Battery Life and Performance

Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra’s larger 5,000 mAh battery helps users stay productive for longer, supporting a full day of work, creation and entertainment in a slimmer foldable design.

No one wants to be interrupted by a low battery while they’re mid-scroll, mid-call or mid-game. The 5000 mAh battery[4] on Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra protects against that. Engineered to maintain a slim frame, the battery powers an expansive screen without compromising design, so you can enjoy up to 27 hours of video content before a quick refuel session with Super-Fast charging.[5]

When it comes to Galaxy Z Flip8, you get powerful performance to support all the ways you creatively express yourself. Powered by Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform for Galaxy, Flip8 will help you to handle demanding days without breaking your flow. The advanced NPU delivers 41% faster AI performance compared to Z Flip7, while the improved GPU provides optimized graphics performance, and the CPU provides 30% faster processing.

Try Something New Entirely

Galaxy Z Fold8 is Samsung’s all-new foldable form factor. The shorter, wider design enables Galaxy Z Fold8 to shift naturally and fluidly to match the ways you enjoy content.

The 10:16 cover screen is ideal for scrolling social media, and the immersive 4:3 main screen is great for unfolding to enjoy movies and e-books.[6] Whichever you choose, optimized aspect ratios on both screens enable you to watch content exactly how you want. Plus, anti-reflection on the main screen and 3000 nits of brightness provide better clarity indoors or outdoors, while new Flex Titanium technology strengthens display support, absorbs pressure and impact, and reduces crease visibility over time for a better viewing experience.

But it’s more than just a new form factor. Galaxy Z Fold8 features powerful performance, dual 50 MP cameras and Fold-optimized AI experiences.

Ready to Make the Switch?

If you’re looking to boost your productivity, upgrade to Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra for a slim and sleek design with Ultra performance, a long-lasting battery[7] and an Ultra camera.

Leaning into creativity? Upgrading to Galaxy Z Flip8 will give you more ways to express yourself using Samsung’s most pocketable foldable.

And if you want a completely new experience, Galaxy Z Fold8 is great for discovery and made for scrolling, with a uniquely fluid form that shifts with the content you choose.

Following the launch of the new Galaxy Z series at the Galaxy Unpacked event in London, Samsung leaders engaged with media from Southeast Asia and Oceania, sharing insights about how AI is evolving from a technology that people experiment with into one that is woven into everyday life.

Won-Joon Choi, President and COO of Samsung Electronics’ Mobile eXperience (MX) Business and Head of R&D Office, CU Kim, President & CEO of Samsung Electronics Southeast Asia and Oceania, and Carl Nordenberg, VP & Regional Head of the Mobile eXperience Business for Southeast Asia and Oceania discussed changing consumer expectations in the region and what comes next for mobile AI experiences.

As Samsung introduced an all-new form factor this year, CU Kim revealed that sales of the Galaxy Z7 Series have increased by almost 15% year-on-year compared with the previous generation, indicating growing consumer interest in foldable experiences across Southeast Asia and Oceania.

Highlighting the region’s growing adoption of AI, CU Kim shared that AI usage among Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 users in Southeast Asia and Oceania has increased from 84% in August 2025 to 96% in June 2026[1]. He noted that consumers often utilize AI for practical daily tasks, with Circle to Search, Now Brief and Photo Assist among the most frequently used features.

CU Kim said “The next phase of AI will not be about more features. It is about relevance”, emphasizing that as AI works across the various Galaxy mobile devices and other Samsung appliances and screens, it will be able to better understand user needs and become more helpful and personalized over time.

Galaxy AI also currently supports 22 languages, including Filipino, Indonesian, Thai and Vietnamese, reflecting Samsung’s commitment to delivering localized experiences for consumers across this diverse region.

The session explored how AI is changing the way people interact with their mobile devices as well, with CU Kim reiterating that in this region, mobile phones are the primary gateway to AI.

When discussing the future of mobile AI, Won-Joon Choi highlighted that the value of AI will be determined by how well it can remove friction in the background while giving users greater flexibility and choice.

“From a consumer’s perspective, there is no single AI that’s right for everyone. We want users to have the flexibility to use the right one at the right time, and that’s why we’re building Galaxy AI as a platform, with multiple AI agents working together to deliver the most seamless experience,” he added.

Building on the foundation established with the Galaxy S26 series, the Galaxy Z8 series and One UI 9 will provide an enhanced agentic AI experience through deeper system-level integration and more intuitive user controls. With multiple agents working seamlessly across apps, services, and device features, users will enjoy greater flexibility and choices for how they interact with AI.

Looking ahead, Won-Joon Choi shares that Samsung’s foldable portfolio is evolving to meet more lifestyles and needs. “Since we launched this category in 2019, we’ve studied closely how consumers interact with their foldables. Our broader, more diverse portfolio lets us better meet each user’s needs, and we are excited about what that will bring to Southeast Asia and Oceania,” he said. The Galaxy Z8 series will give users more ways to experience AI across productivity, content, creation and self-expression.

Through this 8th generation of foldables, Samsung is moving the category into its next chapter, one where foldables are no longer a niche choice, but a mainstream mobile experience that more consumers can confidently choose as part of their everyday lives.

The new Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold8, Galaxy Z Flip8, Galaxy Watch Ultra2 and Galaxy Watch9 devices are now available for pre-order in Malaysia, with exclusive offers available for a limited time.

Across Southeast Asia and Oceania, consumers have been quick to embrace technology that makes everyday life simpler. From digital commerce and mobile payments to super apps and connected services, digital experiences are now integral to how people shop, communicate, work and manage daily life.

That same expectation is shaping how people approach artificial intelligence. As the world commemorates AI Appreciation Day this July, the shift is clear: AI is moving from experimentation into everyday use. In Southeast Asia and Oceania, people are beginning to expect AI to help them work, communicate, make decisions and move through daily life with greater ease.

The more embedded AI becomes in our lives, the more its value will be measured by how meaningfully it improves everyday experiences. The next phase of AI, which we will be unveiling at Unpacked on 22 July in London, will not be defined by technical capability alone, but by how naturally it fits into different lifestyles, understands individual needs and removes friction from daily routines.

From AI Tools to Connected Experiences

For years, technology evolved device by device. Each served a specific role: mobile phones for communication and productivity, wearables for health and activity insights, televisions for entertainment, and appliances for household routines.

Each device only supports one part of the user’s day. But when connected through AI, they can work together in ways that are more responsive to context and easier to act on.

SmartThings is central to making this possible. By bringing devices, services and partners into one connected ecosystem, it helps turn the intelligence offered by individual features into seamless experiences that are more natural and relevant in real-world scenarios.

Consider a young professional managing a fast-paced day, where even small decisions can add to the mental load. With AI Vision, our Bespoke AI Refrigerator Family Hub can help track fresh produce and packaged goods[1], alert users[2] when frequently used items are running low, and make grocery planning easier.

That same support extends to well-being. SmartThings integrates with Samsung Health to provide sleep environment insights through Galaxy devices like the Galaxy Ring, while Galaxy Watch features such as Running Coach[3] can analyze running performance data and customize training programs for users working towards their fitness goals. And as the user unwinds after a long day by watching their favorite shows on TV, Samsung Vision AI extends intelligence to the screen, helping the TV adapt to viewer preferences and make entertainment easier to discover, personalize and enjoy.

Together, these experiences show the broader promise of AI: making daily life easier not through one device acting alone, but through an ecosystem that understands context and can offer personalized responses to people’s needs.

Mobile as the Primary Gateway

Although AI now connects more devices across daily life, mobile remains the primary gateway. The mobile phone links people to the services, content, devices and relationships they rely on daily.

This is where agentic AI becomes especially important. As intelligence grows more contextual, mobile devices are evolving from a tool people use to search, message and browse, into an interface that helps them understand what matters, suggests the next step and completes everyday actions with less effort.

Galaxy AI is designed for this next phase of mobile AI. Instead of asking users to manage every task manually, it surfaces suggestions for what comes next. Mobile AI becomes most useful when its intelligence is built directly into the device experience itself.

Consumers in Southeast Asia and Oceania welcome the benefits and recognize the potential of AI but their trust needs to be earned. To deeply embed AI into daily life, consumers must be assured that their data stays safe and that they are in control. Galaxy AI is designed to protect personal information by keeping sensitive data close to the user, while giving users clear visibility and choice over how their data is used to power AI experiences. As AI expands across the connected ecosystem, Samsung has also extended Knox Matrix, its cross-device security platform, to provide a unified layer of protection across home appliances, mobile devices and TVs.

We are still in the early stages of this transformation. With AI becoming more widespread in daily life, new form factors will shape how people see, use, and act on information. Foldables are an important part of that future. A screen that flexes and unfolds gives AI greater flexibility to support multiple tasks, richer content and more contextual experiences at once.

At the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked, we will share more on how this vision is coming together.

The next chapter of AI will not be defined by how much more technology people must manage. It will be defined by how naturally intelligence fits into everyday life, helping people live, work, and connect more easily.

AI will be no different.

Where AI Meets People

AI is getting smarter faster, and this will continue. But to change how people live, it must answer: where, how and into whose hands does this intelligence reach? This will define AI’s next chapter.

AI no longer merely answers. It is entering an agentic age, taking action on our behalf while the person carries the final decision. But to act for someone, it must first know them.

That is why it matters where AI meets people. The entry points are where AI understands a person and builds trust. The best AI experiences will come from the devices that know the user best.

This is what Samsung has spent years building. The phone is closest to us, with us daily. The tablet is where we create and learn. The watch reads signals like sleep and heart rate. The TV and connected home appliances add context from where we live. And new form factors, from foldables to intelligent eyewear, expand where AI meets us. Together, a fuller picture of a person’s needs forms.

These entry points are powerful together. Signals from across devices become timely assistance: sleep tracked by your watch shapes tomorrow’s schedule, with information always available. AI at its best works quietly in the background, bringing these moments into a cohesive experience. That is why we have spent years building an ecosystem not just to reach, but to connect more moments.

Built on Openness and Trust

Samsung does not do this alone. The platforms that changed the world were the most open. The web was. So were mobile operating systems. With SmartThings, we brought devices, services and partners into one connected experience, shaping industry open standards. Openness lets the best ideas reach people faster. And we don’t simply layer intelligence on top, but design how AI works at the center so it serves each person in context.

But openness alone is not the goal. The harder task is turning intelligence into something personal and trustworthy. The best intelligence in the world should reach people through their everyday devices. But what makes it personal is understanding the user and keeping that understanding safe. That is our responsibility.

As AI becomes more personal and agentic, trust becomes the foundation. People need to know what AI is doing for them and remain in control.

This is why trust isn’t added at the end. Samsung Knox protects each Galaxy device and now the connections between them. As intelligence moves across devices, protecting what flows between them is crucial. The most personal data stays on the device so people can understand how AI is working, staying in control.

The Next Chapter of Galaxy

That same understanding shapes the devices we build. The more personal and capable AI becomes, the more form matters. As AI helps us with more at once, a screen that flexes and folds expands what is possible. This is what makes foldables special: they fold into your hand, opening a larger stage. On this journey, Samsung has continued to make foldables thinner, lighter, stronger and more immersive.

AI is also essential in health. How we sleep, recover and look after ourselves—daily choices add up. A device close to us, like a watch, tracks these signals ensuring a better day.

The upcoming Galaxy Unpacked is where we will show what’s next in bringing all this together: more personal, natural AI experiences on a foundation more partners can build on. The question that opens the next era is not who has the smartest AI, but who understands people best, and turns that understanding into experiences they can trust.

We intend to take this path with openness and responsibility, beginning with the device already in your hand. We open this next chapter together at Galaxy Unpacked.
