Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Fold8 and Flip8 open a new chapter in foldables with three distinct experiences designed for Ultra productivity, immersive discovery and self-expression

The lineup also includes Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, which brings Galaxy’s renowned Ultra standard to foldables with maximum productivity and content creation in a larger workspace. Galaxy Z Flip8 — the sleekest one yet — was built for expression and quick interaction on the go. 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.

Galaxy AI has been optimized for each of these form factors. Across the lineup, every insight feels more actionable and every action feels more connected. Multitasking is easier on the larger screens of Galaxy Z Fold8 and Fold8 Ultra, while Flip8’s AI-native FlexWindow keeps relevant information and shortcuts within reach. And with partner AI experiences such as Gemini Intelligence, Galaxy gives users even more ways to get things done in fewer steps — with transparency, privacy and user control built in.

“As AI becomes more agentic, mobile devices will become the most personal entry point to experiences that understand and adapt to each user,” said TM Roh, Chief Executive Officer, President and Head of the Device eXperience (DX) Division at Samsung Electronics. “By setting a new standard for foldables, we are once again advancing the premium mobile experience and opening the next era of intelligence to more people.”

The All-New Galaxy Z Fold8: A New Galaxy Fold Experience for Everyday Immersion

Galaxy Z Fold8 is reimagined for users who want a foldable that feels natural in the moments when curiosity turns into deeper discovery. Fold8 introduces a form factor designed to move easily from quick interactions on the cover screen to deeper viewing, reading and gaming on the main display. With intuitive display ratios and long-lasting performance, Fold8 makes it easier to get the most out of the content, stories and ideas that matter.

Built for Discovery

Galaxy Z Fold8’s display ratios are designed around the way people naturally consume content throughout the day. By adapting the screen to the content, Fold8 creates a more immersive experience whether users are browsing, watching, reading or gaming. At just 201 g,^[1] Fold8 is Samsung’s lightest Galaxy Z Fold yet.^[2] Despite its lightweight design, it combines the Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform for Galaxy^[3] with a larger 4,800 mAh battery,^[4] delivering smooth, responsive performance and lasting power so users can stay immersed longer.

• When folded, the 10:16 cover screen^[5] feels familiar and comfortable for the short moments people return to most often, such as messaging, social updates, browsing and short-form video.
• When unfolded, the 4:3 main display^[6] creates a larger canvas that helps users lose themselves in games and films.
• When rotated, the same display ratio becomes naturally suited to reading, giving users a more comfortable way to settle into articles, e-books and long-form content without carrying another device.
• Together, these display ratios are designed around the way people naturally consume content, helping Fold8 feel more immersive whether users are quickly checking in or settling in for longer sessions.

A Display Engineered From the Inside Out

Across the new Galaxy Z series, Samsung’s display engineering expertise serves as the foundation for a more refined foldable experience, supporting slimmer designs, greater durability and more seamless viewing.

• With up to 3,000 nits of brightness, Vision Booster and a low-reflection display finish, the main screen stays vivid and easy to see even in outdoor settings.

A Clear and Versatile Camera Experience

Galaxy Z Fold8 is designed to help users capture and share the moments that catch their attention. Whether it’s a sweeping landscape, a group shot or a spontaneous moment on the move, Fold8 makes everyday photography and video feel easier to capture, edit and share.

• My FanCam^[9] automatically tracks a selected subject and reframes footage into a preferred aspect ratio, turning dynamic scenes into social-ready videos with less manual editing.

Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra: The Ultra Foldable Built for Maximum Productivity

Ultra represents Galaxy’s highest standard for performance, capability and innovation. With Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, that standard meets Samsung’s most advanced foldable design. Its expansive 8-inch main display^[10] opens up a productive workspace for multitasking, while its advanced camera system and long-lasting battery help users create throughout the day. All of this comes in Galaxy’s slimmest Z Fold design yet — measuring just 4.1 mm when unfolded and weighing 215 g,¹ it pushes the standard for productivity on the go.

Professional-Grade Creativity With an Ultra-Level Camera System

Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra is built to give creators more freedom from capture to edit, with an Ultra-level camera system and creative tools that make high-quality content easier to produce from one device.

Galaxy Z Flip8: The Sleekest, Most Expressive AI-Native Flip Experience

Galaxy Z Flip8 is built for users who want their phone to feel as dynamic as they are. Designed around quick interactions, personal expression and AI-native experiences, Flip8 brings the power of Galaxy AI closer to everyday moments through a reimagined FlexWindow and uniquely flexible Flip form factor. Weighing just 180 g¹ and with a thickness of only 6.1 mm, Samsung’s slimmest and lightest Flip^[13] brings information, actions and creativity closer to everyday moments.

A Smarter, More Intuitive FlexWindow Experience

Galaxy Z Flip8 reimagines the FlexWindow as an AI-native everyday interface, bringing information, actions and assistance closer to the moments when users need them most.

• The new FlexWindow brings apps, insights and actions directly to the cover screen, helping users access information, AI-powered features and connected tasks in fewer steps.
• Now Brief^[14] on the FlexWindow home screen brings timely insights and next steps, helping users move from glanceable information to action at the right moment.
• Flip8 also makes automation^[15] through Gemini Intelligence easier to access from the FlexWindow,¹³ allowing users to complete connected actions through side-key activation or natural voice requests.

FlexCam Unlocks a More Expressive Flip Selfie Experience

Galaxy Z Flip8 enhances Samsung’s signature Flip camera experience, turning everyday moments into more expressive content through flexible shooting angles, real-time previews and Flip-only creative experiences. From hands-free shooting and real-time preview to cover-screen selfie videos and Flip-only mirror selfies, Flip8 helps users create, check and share polished moments without setting up extra equipment.

• A 50 MP camera with ProVisual Engine delivers Galaxy Z Flip’s most advanced selfie experience, helping users capture detailed portraits and everyday shots with natural skin tones, dynamic bokeh and standout detail.^[16]
• Flex Mode makes hands-free shooting easy from a wide range of angles, while Camcorder Grip with Zoom Rocker provides a more comfortable, stable hold when capturing dynamic shots on the move.
• Super Steady — now with a Horizontal Lock option — helps keep footage smooth and consistently framed, whether filming action-filled moments or on-the-go selfie videos.
• FlipShot lets users personalize the FlexWindow and capture more expressive mirror selfies, while Mirror view gives users a realistic mirror-like view for quick look checks before taking a photo or heading out.

A New Class of Agentic Experiences Optimized for Foldables

As the most personal device people carry, the phone has become the primary entry point where AI meets users — and the new Galaxy Z series sets the tone for the next generation of mobile AI experiences. Galaxy AI now works across more apps and services, with experiences optimized for foldable form factors. By understanding what matters to each user and helping turn insights into action, Galaxy AI becomes more personal, proactive and useful throughout the day.

• Now Brief helps users stay informed with personalized insights tailored to their routines, interests and daily needs through expanded scenarios, customizable briefing cards and personalized recommendations. It now also surfaces security and privacy insights, helping users stay on top of potential risks and protective actions.
• Now Nudge^[17] helps turn insights into action. When plans begin to take shape in a conversation, AI can surface relevant next steps such as checking a schedule, finding a place or saving a location. On foldables, users can continue the conversation side by side on larger displays.
• Gemini Intelligence helps users move from request to result with fewer steps. Users can simply describe what they need or even add screen or image context. With Gemini Notebook, users can bring together notes, images, recordings, files and documents in one persistent workspace to collect, organize and develop their ideas. Drag-and-drop support in Split view makes the workflow even more intuitive, allowing users to easily add multiple files and images and turn their content into audio overviews, infographics, reports, meeting recaps, visual summaries, documents and more.
• AI experiences become more connected and contextual when the new Galaxy Z series is connected with Galaxy Watch Ultra2, the Galaxy Watch9 series and even the upcoming intelligent eyewear. From wellness insights to daily routines and connected actions, Galaxy AI helps users move more seamlessly between devices with timely personalized support throughout the day.

Together, these experiences show how Galaxy AI is becoming a more capable and proactive companion, helping users accomplish more with less effort. Across the lineup, foldable form factors make these experiences easier to access throughout the day.

Security and Privacy Built Into the Experience

As AI becomes more personal and agentic, trust continues to be a critical foundation of the experience. Users need to know how their data is used, understand what AI is doing on their behalf and stay in control of the choices that shape their experience. With the new Galaxy Z series, Samsung builds that trust into the device from the start, keeping personal data secure while giving users transparency, choice and control over how their information is used.

Samsung Knox protects every Galaxy device from the chip up, with a multi-layered approach that includes on-device personalization and user-controlled cloud processing, as well as future-ready protections such as ecosystem-wide protection through Samsung Knox Matrix. For on-device AI, Personal Data Engine (PDE) enables context-aware, personalized AI experiences. To protect PDE, Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection (KEEP) creates encrypted, app-specific storage environments, while Knox Vault adds a tamper-resistant physical layer for sensitive information.^[18] These system-level protections work together with Advanced Intelligence settings and Personal Data Intelligence to help users control how AI features manage and use personal data.

One UI 9 also introduces a new AI Assistant Activity dashboard, giving users a centralized view of AI automations running on their behalf. Instead of moving across multiple apps and services to understand what happened, users can review AI actions in one place and navigate directly to the relevant agent^[19] for additional context and settings. The new Galaxy Z series also brings enhanced Privacy Alerts that proactively notify users about potential privacy risks, including unnecessary attempts to access background permissions, helping them respond before those risks become invisible.

These updates build on Galaxy’s existing security and privacy portfolio which includes Auto Blocker, Theft Protection, Private Sharing, Secure Wi-Fi and more. Together, these advancements help users take a more active role in managing personal data and AI activities, with transparency, clearer choices and stronger protections at the core of their experience — helping ensure that more personal AI experiences remain grounded in trust.

Galaxy S26 Ultra introduces the mobile industry’s first built-in adaptive screen technology, Privacy Display, that shields sensitive information from prying eyes. By controlling how pixels disperse light, it’s a customizable feature that ensures that only the intended user sees the content clearly, while those nearby perceive a dimmed or obscured view. 

Powered by Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform, an Enhanced Vapor Chamber, and Super Fast Charging 3.0 which minimizes downtime by reaching up to 75% charge in just 30 minutes, the Galaxy S26 Ultra delivers uncompromising performance, security, and efficiency in one sleek device.

Experience Intuitive with Galaxy AI

Introduced for the first time, Now Nudge analyzes what’s on your screen and provides smart, contextual suggestions right from your keyboard toolbar so you never have to jump between apps. While the enhanced Now Brief can now proactively surface timely reminders for important events based on your personal context, helping you stay organized throughout the day. Powered by its built-in on-device learning it delivers smarter personalization without sharing data externally, meaning the more you use it, the smarter it gets for you specifically.

Bixby, on the other hand, returns as a conversational device agent, a convenient upgrade that helps users easily navigate their devices and adjust settings using natural language, without digging in the settings and even the need for exact terminology or commands.

To prevent the frustration of receiving spam or uncalled-for calls, Samsung introduces Call Screening. Galaxy AI intelligently identifies suspicious numbers in real time, by asking first who is the caller and their intention, giving you the option to decline or accept. This ensures that only the calls that truly matter reach you, adding an extra layer of convenience and peace of mind.

Galaxy AI also helps redefine the way users express and create with the enhanced Photo Assist  that now allows users to easily make a photo taken during daytime to a night shot, remove unwanted people in the background, and even complete a photo by adding other elements, all by simply typing it. 

Creative Studio, on the other hand, allows users to customize or create stickers, wallpapers, invitations, etc easily from a sketch or by using a prompt. The upgraded Audio Eraser has also been refined and is now accessible in third‑party applications such as Instagram and YouTube.

While all these features use and analyze the user’s data daily, Samsung Knox provides multi-layered security, protecting Galaxy devices from the chip level up. On-device Galaxy AI runs on the Personal Data Engine (PDE) for context-aware personalization, secured by Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection (KEEP) and Knox Vault, which isolates sensitive data in dedicated hardware. With user controls for AI features, the Galaxy S26 series combines hardware and software to deliver system-wide protection for personal data.

Complete the seamless Galaxy experience with Samsung’s latest audio innovations — Galaxy Buds4 Pro and Galaxy Buds4. The Buds4 Pro feature a wider woofer, upgraded Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), and an adaptive equalizer for richer sound. Users can also launch AI agents like Bixby, Google Gemini, and Perplexity hands-free with voice controls.

Galaxy S26 Ultra: Where Innovation Leads

Galaxy S26 Ultra brings together Samsung’s most advanced innovation in a single device — powerful performance, an industry-leading camera system, enhanced intuitive Galaxy AI and the world’s first mobile phone with a built-in Privacy Display.²

Privacy Display, which has drawn widespread praise since its unveiling, is a breakthrough in display technology that fundamentally changes how privacy can be protected on a phone at a pixel level. Designed for everyday situations, hardware and software are working as one to protect privacy without compromising everyday viewing experiences.

Built for all-day performance, Galaxy S26 Ultra delivers the most powerful performance on a Galaxy S series yet, powered by a customized mobile processor — Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform for Galaxy³ — with significant gains⁴ across the CPU, GPU and NPU to support faster, smoother experiences that keep up throughout the day.

Galaxy S26 Ultra also features Samsung’s most intuitive and user-friendly AI experience to date. Features like Now Nudge⁵ provide proactive and relevant context-aware suggestions, while Now Brief⁶ surfaces timely reminders for important events. A choice of agents⁷ also help users to complete tasks easier with a single button press or voice prompt.

Galaxy S26 Ultra builds on Samsung’s industry-leading camera system, seamlessly integrating capture, editing and sharing into one intuitive workflow. Nightography video⁸ keeps footage vibrant even in low light, and Super Steady,⁹ which comes with a new horizontal lock option for greater stability, even during dynamic movement. Editing is just as easy and straight forward. With the upgraded Photo Assist,¹⁰ users can refine images and express their creativity by simply describing what they want in their own words, while Creative Studio¹¹ empowers users to easily turn their ideas into polished visuals — from stickers and invitations to personalized wallpapers.

Galaxy Buds4 Series: Superior Hi-Fi Sound With Computationally Designed Fit

Users can enhance the capabilities of the Galaxy S26 with the new Galaxy Buds4 series which integrated Samsung’s most advanced audio and wearability innovations together in one seamless experience. The Galaxy Buds4 Pro and Buds4 deliver superior hi-fi audio and everyday wearability to achieve the best listening experience across the Galaxy Buds series to date. The Buds4 series establishes a new iconic blade design with an engraved pinch control¹² and ultra-sleek ergonomic fit, achieved by analyzing hundreds of millions of global ear data points and running over 10,000 simulations¹³ to optimize for all-day wearability and comfort. Powerful hardware and software innovations on the Buds4 Pro such as a wider woofer and an enhanced Adaptive Equalizer and Active Noise Cancellation¹⁴ produce rich full-spectrum sound true to the original recording. With the integration of several AI agents¹⁵ and intuitive hands-free controls, the Buds4 series becomes a natural companion to Galaxy S26, extending everyday experiences beyond the phone.

Starting March 11, the Galaxy S26 series is available¹⁶ through carriers, retailers and Samsung.com. The Galaxy S26 series features a unified design language across all models, with shared color options including Cobalt Violet, White, Black and Sky Blue alongside the Samsung.com-exclusive Pink Gold and Silver Shadow.

The Galaxy Buds4 series is available in two models — Galaxy Buds4 Pro and Buds4 — with distinct colorways including White and Black with a refined matte finish — as well as an online-exclusive Pink Gold for Buds4 Pro.

For added peace of mind, Samsung Care+¹⁷ offers comprehensive coverage that protects the devices’ value, including fast repairs for accidental damage, extended warranty and certified expert support available both at home and abroad.

Galaxy for the Planet is the sustainability platform for Samsung’s Mobile eXperience (MX) business, guiding its long-term approach to advancing environmental sustainability. Since its launch, the initiative has driven steady progress across multiple focus areas, evolving alongside advances in technology, materials and operational capabilities.

“The progress we have made through Galaxy for the Planet reflects years of consistent effort across our teams and partners,” said TM Roh, CEO, President and Head of the Device eXperience (DX) Division at Samsung Electronics. “Sustainability is central to how we operate and innovate. It informs how we design products, manage resources and create value beyond our devices. As we work toward our 2030 goals, we are expanding our commitments beyond products and operations to address broader environmental impact as we work toward our 2030 goals.”

Progress on Galaxy for the Planet

Samsung has achieved all four of its 2025 sustainability goals for the Galaxy for the Planet initiative, which was designed to reduce the environmental impact of the company’s mobile products and operations.

A core focus has been expanding the use of recycled and responsibly sourced materials across Galaxy products.¹ Today, Samsung has applied 10 types of recycled materials² in both exterior and interior components, supported by ongoing research, testing and verification.

One area of progress is enhancing circularity through innovation in materials. Samsung has incorporated recycled plastics recovered from ocean-bound, discarded fishing nets, and continues its efforts in closed-loop systems such as its Circular Battery Supply Chain, which enables the recovery and reuse of materials from previously used Galaxy device batteries.

Samsung also eliminated single-use plastics from its mobile packaging, transitioning to paper-based and recycled alternatives.³ At the same time, continued research and development in low standby power technology has reduced standby power consumption in Galaxy mobile phone chargers to near-zero levels — an innovation now applied across multiple charger wattages.⁴

Across manufacturing operations, Samsung has advanced landfill waste reduction by implementing Zero Waste to Landfill (ZWTL) practices globally. All 10 qualifying mobile manufacturing sites⁵ have achieved the Platinum designation for ZWTL under the UL Solutions standard, reflecting landfill diversion rates of 100 percent. Such waste management practices are adapted to regional regulations and infrastructure, as well.

These achievements reflect Samsung’s progress under Galaxy for the Planet and provide momentum to expand the initiative further. With its initial targets met on schedule, Samsung is expanding its environmental commitments with new goals through 2030.

Deepening Our Commitments to the Environment

For its next phase, Galaxy for the Planet will expand beyond product-level initiatives to address the broader environmental and ecological impact of Samsung’s global operations. The new 2030 goals will focus on three key areas: circularity, water stewardship and biodiversity.

• Advancing Circularity

Samsung will continue to advance circularity across its mobile products, with the aim of incorporating at least one recycled material in every module of every mobile product. This underscores the company’s commitment to more responsible and efficient materials sourcing across the Galaxy ecosystem.⁶

• Strengthening Water Stewardship

Samsung is deepening its approach to water stewardship across its mobile operations,⁷ with the goal of returning 110 percent of the water consumed. This includes pursuing the highest level of Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS) certification for responsible water management practices.⁸

• Conserving Ecosystems

Recognizing that its operations can have an impact on surrounding ecosystems, Samsung has set a goal to conserve ecosystems equivalent to the footprint of its global mobile operations.⁹ This goal focuses on protecting and restoring natural environments in ways that strengthen biodiversity and ecological resilience around Samsung’s global footprint.

As Samsung continues its sustainability journey, Galaxy for the Planet reflects Samsung’s belief that environmental responsibility is integral to how the company innovates, operates and creates long-term value, reinforcing its commitment to sustainability as a core part of its business.

The video capturing the journey of Galaxy for the Planet is available at the following link.
