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.  

Frequently Asked Questions

Smart Switch is Samsung’s data transfer app¹ that allows users to move contacts, photos, videos, messages, apps, settings and more from an Android or iOS device to a new Galaxy device. With One UI 9 on the new eighth-generation Galaxy Z series, Smart Switch makes switching devices easier and more seamless than before. Quick Share has also been enhanced, making it easier to share files with friends, family and colleagues using different platforms.

Start Switching With Just a QR Code

With One UI 9, users no longer need to install the Smart Switch app separately on their iOS device. By simply scanning the QR code displayed on their new Galaxy, they can start transferring data through Smart Switch.

The updated Smart Switch also makes it easier to connect wirelessly. The two devices can connect without users needing to find the right cable or adapter before getting their new phone set up.

Bring More of Your Phone With You

With One UI 9, Smart Switch has expanded the types of data that can move from iOS devices to Galaxy. In addition to previously supported data such as photos, messages, contacts, calendars and apps, users can also transfer passwords and passkeys, call history, accessibility settings and eSIM information.

These may be less visible than a photo library, but they can make a big difference to how quickly a new device feels ready to use. A saved password means one less account to set up again. Bringing over accessibility settings can reduce the need to recreate a personalized experience. eSIM information can also be transferred, making it easier to continue using an existing mobile setup.

Make Galaxy Feel More Familiar

Whether switching to Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Z Fold8 or Z Flip8, users can make their new device feel familiar from the start. Beyond transferring data, they can adjust key settings such as Swipe gestures and Home screen layout to suit the way they use their phone. With the UI customization app Good Lock, users can also personalize the Home screen, app switching and more, giving them greater freedom to use Galaxy in the way that works best for them.

For those switching from iOS to Galaxy, these options can help recreate familiar ways of navigating and organizing their previous smartphone, reducing the adjustment that can come with moving to a new environment. This helps users settle into their new Galaxy more comfortably and naturally from the start.

Keep Sharing After the Switch

Changing smartphones does not mean everyone around a user changes theirs too.

Friends, family and colleagues may continue using different devices, which makes cross-platform sharing an important part of the experience long after setup is finished. Devices running One UI 9 and One UI 8.5 can benefit from an enhanced cross-device sharing experience² with Quick Share. With AirDrop compatibility, Quick Share makes it easier to share files between Galaxy and iOS devices.

Choosing a new smartphone should come down to the experience people want next. By simplifying how the switch begins, expanding what can move across and making it easier to keep sharing afterward, Samsung is reducing more of the practical barriers between smartphone ecosystems.

The result is a simpler way to move to Galaxy, while bringing more of what already matters along for the journey.

Seven years ago, Samsung set out to redefine what a smartphone could be.

At the time, foldable devices represented more than a new category of technology. They represented a question: could a smartphone become fundamentally different from the slab we had known for decades? Could a device change its shape to change the way we live, work, create and experience content?

Samsung believed the answer was yes.

Today, as we introduce the latest Galaxy Z8 Series in Malaysia, that belief has evolved into years of innovation, engineering and learning. We are in our eighth year of pushing boundaries, listening to consumers and challenging ourselves to imagine what comes next.

Our journey has never been about creating a device that simply folds. It has been about creating experiences that could not exist on a conventional smartphone.

Innovation, after all, is not about technology for technology’s sake. It is about using technology to unlock experiences that were previously impossible.

This philosophy is particularly evident in the evolution of our foldable portfolio.

While Galaxy Z Fold has continually redefined what a foldable smartphone can be, this year marks an exciting new chapter in that journey with the introduction of a new foldable form factor with the Galaxy Z Fold8. It is not simply another variation of an existing design. It represents a new category within foldables, created around a different way of experiencing mobile content.

At its heart is a simple idea: when the experience demands more, the screen should give you more.

The expansive display is designed to bring immersive experiences closer to the way they were meant to be experienced. Whether watching a film, exploring rich visual content, viewing photos, gaming or simply immersing yourself in the content you love, the larger canvas creates a sense of scale and engagement that a traditional smartphone cannot replicate.

It is a shift from simply having more screen to experiencing content in a fundamentally different way. And that is what makes this new form factor so meaningful. We did not begin with the question of how we could make a larger foldable. We began by asking what people could do if they had a larger, more immersive canvas that could still fit into the mobile experience. The answer is a device designed around the moments when immersion matters. This is the essence of Samsung’s approach to foldable innovation: the form factor should serve the experience.

Over seven generations, we have made our foldables thinner, lighter and more durable. We have refined the hinge, strengthened the display and advanced the materials and engineering behind every generation. But the real measure of that progress is not found in specifications alone. It is found in what people can do with the device.

That is why our foldables have evolved from being a technological curiosity into a category that is increasingly becoming part of everyday life.

The latest Galaxy Z Fold8 continues this philosophy by bringing together a new form factor, an expansive display, Galaxy AI and the connected Galaxy ecosystem. Together, these technologies allow us to rethink not only how a smartphone looks, but how it behaves and how people experience it.

For content, this means more room to immerse.

For creativity, it means more canvas to explore.

For productivity, it means more space to work.

And for everyday experiences, it means a device that can adapt to different moments and different ways of interacting.

This is where we believe the future of mobile technology becomes particularly exciting.

The next chapter of innovation will not be defined simply by adding more technology. It will be defined by how seamlessly that technology fits into our lives, and how naturally new technology can open experiences we did not previously think were possible.

A device should not ask people to change the way they live just to accommodate technology. Instead, technology should evolve around people.

That belief has guided Samsung for seven years of foldable leadership.

Being a pioneer is not simply about being first. It is about having the conviction to invest in an idea before its potential is fully understood, the discipline to keep improving it, and the vision to continue redefining what comes next.

Seven generations of Galaxy Z have taught us that innovation is a journey, not a destination.

And our latest generation represents another step forward, not only in how a foldable device is designed, but in how we think about the experiences it can create.

The future of mobile is no longer constrained by the shape of the smartphone we have always known.

A screen can become larger when immersion matters. A device can take on a new shape when the experience calls for it. And technology can become more intuitive when it is designed around people rather than limitations.

This is why we continue to lead with foldable innovation.

Because the greatest opportunity of this technology is not simply that a screen can bend.

It is that a different form can unlock a different experience.

As we enter the next chapter of Galaxy Z, our ambition remains unchanged: to challenge the familiar, redefine what is possible and create technology around the experiences people want to have.

Seven years ago, we showed the world that smartphones could take a new shape.

Today, we are showing what becomes possible when that new shape is designed around a new way of experiencing the world.

The future does not have to look like the past. Sometimes, all it takes is a new form to unlock an entirely new experience.

And at Samsung, we intend to keep leading the way.

Switching to Galaxy is now easier than ever with the updated Smart Switch, allowing iOS users to scan a QR code and wirelessly transfer data without additional apps.

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.

Managing warranties and coverage for a Galaxy mobile phone, Galaxy Watch, Galaxy Buds, and Galaxy Tab can be a hassle. That’s where Warranty and care comes in. Introduced with One UI 9, it brings essential device management features together in one place, letting users check warranty status, run diagnostics, book repairs, and get support in just a few taps — all without leaving Settings.

Here’s a closer look at what Warranty and care, available with One UI 9 on Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold8, and Galaxy Z Flip8 offers.

Check Warranty Status Across Galaxy Devices

Keeping track of warranty periods and expiration dates across Galaxy devices isn’t always easy. Warranty and care consolidates this information in a single hub.

Access Warranty and care instantly from Settings.

Available in Settings, Warranty and care displays information[2] about the device in use at the top of the screen — including remaining warranty period and eligibility for Samsung Care+ enrollment.[3] Below, users can find the same details for other Galaxy devices linked to their Samsung account, making it easy to check warranty and coverage status across their Galaxy ecosystem.

For added protection beyond the standard warranty, users can easily explore and enroll in a Samsung Care+ plan that matches their needs.

Resolve Device Issues with Diagnostics and Bixby

When something doesn’t feel quite right, quickly finding out what’s wrong can make all the difference. The built-in Diagnostics feature checks the device — including its battery, charging, sensors, touch response, and connectivity — to help pinpoint the issue and guide users to the next step, whether that’s a suggested solution or a repair request.

Bixby offers customized responses to your inquiries.

Users can also access Bixby[4] from Warranty and care to ask about an issue and get help on the spot. For example, if a user asks, “My battery is draining too fast. What should I do?” Bixby can walk them through possible solutions step by step. It’s a convenient way to get answers to everyday questions without switching screens.

Book Repairs and Check Estimated Costs in One Place

When professional help is needed, users can tap “Request a repair” to book a repair at a Samsung-authorized service center without having to make phone calls. All repairs are carried out by Samsung-certified technicians using genuine parts. If users are unable to visit a service center, they can start remote support from the same screen and get help directly on their device.

Warranty and care also makes device care service information easy to check. After selecting an issue, users can view estimated repair costs[5] for major parts alongside the cost of the same repair with Samsung Care+. This comparison helps users weigh their options and decide whether additional protection is worthwhile.

Repair estimates on main parts can also be verified. *Images simulated. Sequences shortened. Actual UI may be different.

Protect Device Value for the Long Term

By bringing warranty information, diagnostics, support and repair services together, Warranty and care gives Galaxy users a simpler way to manage their devices for greater peace of mind. Checking the feature during setup makes it easier to know where to turn if an issue comes up later — from running diagnostics and asking Bixby or a chatbot for help to requesting a repair. With these essential services close at hand, users can keep their devices in good condition for longer and help preserve their value.

For peace of mind today and lasting value tomorrow, Galaxy devices are supported by professional care at nearby Samsung-authorized service centers, both at home and abroad. *AI generated visual simulated for illustration purposes only.

Combining refined hardware with powerful AI capabilities, the new Galaxy Z series delivers an advanced camera experience across professional-quality landscapes, dynamic video, and expressive selfies.

Fresh from Galaxy Unpacked July 2026, Samsung Newsroom took all three devices across London to put their cameras to the test.

Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra: Brilliant Detail, Day and Night

The journey began in Westminster. The Palace of Westminster, with Big Ben rising above it, sits along the River Thames, while the London Eye stands across the water on the South Bank — a view that brings together London’s past and present.

Shot with Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Big Ben and the surrounding cityscape came through in crisp detail.

(From top to bottom) Photo taken with Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra and a cropped zoom of Big Ben enlarged by more than 10x

Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra’s 200MP main camera brings distant subjects into sharp focus. A new high dynamic range (HDR) capability in 200MP mode delivers richer colors and finer detail. Zooming in reveals Big Ben’s intricate stonework and even the Latin inscription beneath the clock face, demonstrating Ultra-level clarity down to the smallest details.

Photo taken with the 200MP camera from the London Eye on Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra

At 135 meters tall, the London Eye is difficult to fit into a single frame from up close. The Galaxy Z Fold series’ first 50MP ultra-wide camera makes it possible to capture the towering landmark, ticket office, and nearby visitors in a single shot.

(From left) Photos taken with the 1x camera and 50MP ultra-wide camera on Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra

After sunset, London took on a different character. At Tower Bridge, enhanced Nightography reduced noise in low light while preserving the illuminated bridge and texture of the flowing river in vivid detail.

Galaxy Z Fold8: Ready for Moments in Motion

Some travel moments are worth seeing from both sides of the camera. As Tower Bridge slowly lifted, Dual Recording captured the bridge in motion and the reactions of those watching in a single video.

Dual Recording

Dual Recording uses the rear and front cameras simultaneously, with real-time previews on the expansive main display for easy framing. The two perspectives are combined into a single split-screen video, making the feature ideal for vlog-style content that captures both the moment and the reaction.

Video recorded with Dual Recording

Away from the busy tourist hotspots, the journey continued to St. James’s Park. Filming one of the park’s resident pelicans proved challenging, as it moved quickly across the frame. For fast-moving action like this, Super Steady came in handy.

Users can capture stable footage in high-motion situations.

Even as the phone moved sharply from side to side to follow the pelican, Super Steady with Horizontal Lock kept the footage level.

Video recorded using Super Steady with Horizontal Lock

Performed by pianist Yekwon Sunwoo, Frédéric Chopin’s “Nocturne in E-flat Major, Op. 9, No. 2” adds a lyrical dimension to everyday life. Sunwoo became the first Korean to win the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in 2017 and holds the record for the most international competition wins by a Korean pianist. More than 190 years after Chopin composed the piece, Sunwoo offers a fresh interpretation that can now be heard on the latest Galaxy devices.

Chopin’s Nocturne for One UI 9

Samsung’s choice of Chopin’s “Nocturne in E-flat Major, Op. 9, No. 2” as a new ringtone carries special significance. To celebrate the release of One UI 9, Samsung selected the piece from Chopin’s Op. 9 — a fitting nod to the shared number. Long cherished worldwide for its serene melody and delicate emotional expression, the nocturne lends itself naturally to alarms that start the day and ringtones that signal incoming calls.

The new nocturne ringtone debuts with One UI 9 on Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold8, and Galaxy Z Flip8.

Capturing Chopin for Galaxy

The recording took place at Samsung Galaxy Sound Studios, located at Samsung Seoul R&D Campus — the very space where Galaxy’s sound identity is shaped.

Byeong Joon Hwang and Young Jae Jang of Sound Mirror Korea — who have collaborated with Samsung on several projects — oversaw the recording and mixing, carefully preserving the nuances of the performance. Master piano technician Hyungu Kang refined the instrument’s tone, ensuring clarity and precision in every note.

“The warm piano tone and the acoustics of the studio made it an ideal setting for performing the nocturne,” said Sunwoo. “It was meaningful to bring the comfort and timeless emotion of classical music to Galaxy devices used by people around the world.”

A Classical Touch to Everyday Life

More than a simple alert, the new ringtone carries the lingering emotion of classical music into the devices people turn to throughout the day. This connection reflects Galaxy’s philosophy of delivering sound experiences that extend beyond the device itself.

“The nocturne evokes the stillness of the night, and we wanted its gentle resonance to weave naturally into the rhythms of the day,” said Myoung Woo Nam, Principal Sound Designer, Mobile eXperience (MX) Business at Samsung Electronics. “We hope that encountering classical music in everyday life will create special moments for users.”

Samsung will continue to apply a consistent sound philosophy across its products to enhance the user experience and further expand Galaxy’s distinctive sound identity.

From foldables to smartwatches, Samsung’s latest Galaxy devices take different forms but share the same design philosophy — comfort.

Samsung Newsroom spoke with Hubert Lee, Executive Vice President and Head of the Design Team, Mobile eXperience (MX) Business at Samsung Electronics, to hear how this approach shaped the new lineup.

Hubert Lee

Q. What were the key design considerations for this year’s Galaxy foldable lineup?

Today’s Galaxy devices are faster and more powerful than ever. We considered how we could go one step further to deliver a more natural and comfortable experience.

Slimness and lightness are essential to creating a comfortable user experience, since they influence how naturally a device opens, how comfortable it feels in the hand and how easily it fits into everyday life. That is why we consider not only the product itself, but also every moment of the user experience it creates.

From an aesthetic perspective, we applied the concept of “Emotive Geometry.” This design approach brings human warmth to Galaxy’s simple, refined forms, creating a balanced design that goes beyond powerful performance to connect with users on an emotional level.

Product sketches and design elements on display illustrate the design process behind the new Galaxy Z series[1].

Q. What drove the expansion of the Galaxy Z series portfolio?

Across seven generations of foldable innovation, we’ve gained a deeper understanding of how people use their devices. As user expectations for foldables have become more diverse, we have also recognized that no single foldable can meet every need – One size does not fit all.

Some users prioritize productivity and multitasking, while others value portability. Based on these insights, we expanded the Galaxy Z series lineup so each device could better serve different priorities.

Q. Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra is the slimmest Galaxy Z Fold yet. What shaped its exceptionally slim design?

The design concept behind the newest Galaxy Z series is “Emotive Slim” — an approach that focuses not only on reducing thickness, but also on how slim it looks and feels in everyday use.

We applied a gentle slope to the frame to make the foldable easier to open and created a more curved outer silhouette for a softer, more comfortable grip. We also minimized the flat side profile to create a visually slimmer appearance.

Q. Why was a passport chosen as the design inspiration for the new Galaxy Z Fold8?

The classic passport is designed to be easy to carry, hold with one hand and read at a glance. Those same ergonomic principles shaped Galaxy Z Fold8, extending our focus on comfort throughout the device’s overall layout.

When folded, it features a 16:10 aspect ratio optimized for one-handed use. Unfolded, it becomes a more immersive 4:3 display with balanced symmetry[2].

Q. How were these colors chosen for the new Galaxy Z series?

Each color was chosen to reflect the lifestyle of the people each device is designed for. Violet Shadow gives Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra a chic, sophisticated look, while Lavender brings freshness and softness to Galaxy Z Fold8. Pink adds vibrant, playful energy to Galaxy Z Flip8. Cream and Graphite round out the palette with timeless versatility.

Q. How did Samsung refine the design of Galaxy Watch Ultra2 and Galaxy Watch9?

If a smartphone lives in the hand, a smartwatch delivers its greatest value when it’s comfortable enough to wear every day. That’s why our approach to the new Galaxy Watch series focused on refinement rather than reinvention, preserving our core design while enhancing the details that matter most.

At the center of Galaxy Watch is the cushion design. More than a shape, it defines the watch’s identity by balancing presence with softness and precision with comfort. For Galaxy Watch Ultra2, we brought the screen, bezel and cushion body into a seamless form, creating a cleaner profile and a more premium look. We also carefully refined the spacing and tactile separation between the buttons, making each one easier to distinguish by touch and enabling precise control without looking at the screen.

Q. How have the bands on Galaxy Watch Ultra2 and Galaxy Watch9 changed?

Bands play a critical role in wearability. For this generation, we made them lighter, thinner and more breathable with a new air pocket structure.

Because every wrist is different, we used computational design to validate comfort and fit using more than one hundred million real-user wrist data and ten thousand of simulations. We refined the balance between the watch body and band for greater stability on the wrist, while expanded band options give users more ways to express their personal style.

Q. What design philosophy ties this year’s Galaxy devices together?

In an era shaped by AI-driven change, human-centered values are more important than ever. Design shouldn’t only be seen — it should also be felt. For design to feel truly human, it must begin with a deep understanding of how people live, work and interact with technology every day. That belief has guided our approach to designing foldables and smartwatches.
