Between managing energy bills, keeping the fridge stocked, and staying on top of household chores, running a home can sometimes feel like a full-time job. But what if your home could help manage those tasks for you?

Powered by SmartThings^[1], Samsung TVs and Bespoke AI appliances come together to deliver a smart home experience through one connected ecosystem. This single platform allows you to monitor devices, automate routines and optimise everyday tasks, creating a home that adapts to your lifestyle so you can fully enjoy moments at home without worrying about the next task.

Whether you’re looking to reduce energy consumption or simplify chores, SmartThings work quietly in the background to enable better living.

What’s the best way to reduce energy use and effort on household chores?

The Bespoke AI Laundry Combo automates washing and drying for your laundry, with effective energy use through AI Energy Mode in SmartThings Energy^[2]

Laundry is one of the most time-consuming household chores, often requiring a lot of attention while draining significant amounts of energy. Samsung’s Bespoke AI laundry solutions are designed to simplify laundry care while optimising energy consumption throughout the washing and drying process.

Do the Smart Thing with SmartThings: Activate AI Energy Mode^[3] on your Samsung Bespoke AI Laundry Combo to automatically reduce energy consumption by up to 60%^[4] per wash cycle and by up to 30% per drying cycle^[5].

While you get on with other tasks, your Bespoke AI Laundry Combo takes care of the laundry efficiently:

• Smarter laundry with less effort: AI Wash & Dry on the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo automatically detects the weight of each load and adjusts water usage, detergent dosage, and cycle duration accordingly^[6].
• Intelligent, laundry care: Heatpump Drying Technology on the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo recycles warm air during drying, reducing unnecessary energy usage up to 75%^[7].

How can I keep groceries fresh and stay on top of my kitchen?

Keep your groceries fresh and save energy with the Bespoke AI Refrigerator Family Hub

We’ve all been there – finding ingredients in the fridge that are no longer fresh when you finally need them. With the Bespoke AI Refrigerator Family Hub and SmartThings, homeowners gain greater visibility and control over one of the major appliances in their home.

Do the Smart Thing with SmartThings: Enable SmartThings notifications such as Door Open Notification^[8] to receive alerts whenever the refrigerator door is accidentally left ajar, helping prevent cold-air from escaping unnecessarily and affecting freshness of any food inside.

From keeping ingredients fresh to providing convenient access to recipes and connected devices, your Bespoke AI Refrigerator Family Hub supports everyday life in more intelligent ways:  

• Always ensure your food stays fresh: AI Precise Cooling on the SmartThings app^[9] monitors door-opening frequency throughout the day and schedules defrost cycles during low-traffic periods, reducing internal temperature fluctuations to keep food fresher for longer.
• Get recipes and all other information you need: The built-in 9″ Family Hub^[10] extends the SmartThings experience by providing access to connected Samsung devices, apps, recipes and home controls directly from your refrigerator door.

How do I stay cool all day without worrying about electricity costs?

Enjoy all-day, energy-efficient comfort with the Bespoke AI WindFree Air Conditioner

When temperatures rise, staying comfortable often means relying more heavily on air conditioning. The challenge is keeping your home cool constantly without worrying about electricity consumption.

Introducing the Samsung Bespoke AI WindFree Air Conditioner, a split-system air conditioner that gently and evenly disperses air to cool the room, creating a comfortable environment without the unpleasant feeling of cold wind on your skin^[11].

Do the Smart Thing with SmartThings: Set up Away Mode^[12] within SmartThings to automatically switch off selected connected appliances when you leave home. Using geofencing technology, SmartThings can detect when household members are away and help prevent unnecessary energy consumption.

While you are relaxing comfortably, your Bespoke AI WindFree Air Conditioner keeps high costs at bay:

• Intelligent energy use savings: AI Energy Mode^[13] continually analyses usage patterns and environmental conditions to optimize compressor operation, making efficient adjustments for all-day comfort while reducing excessive energy use.

Can I set up a smart home easily with just my TV?

Seamless control of your smart home, from your Samsung TV

When you think about smart homes, you might imagine additional hubs, sensors and expensive setups. In fact, your smart home journey can begin with a device you already have at home.

Other than the SmartThings app on your mobile phone, many Samsung TVs enable users to control and optimise compatible Samsung devices for a more tailored and smarter lifestyle^[14].

Do the Smart Thing with SmartThings: Open the SmartThings app on your Samsung TV to expand your TV’s role in managing connected Samsung devices throughout your home, directly from the dashboard.

The true value of a smart home is not simply having more smart devices. It is having devices that work together seamlessly. With SmartThings at the center of the experience, your Samsung TV and Bespoke AI appliances become part of a connected ecosystem that helps automate everyday chores and simplify household management.

Whether you’re looking to elevate life at home, or find smarter ways to manage everyday routines, Samsung’s connected devices and appliances work seamlessly behind the scenes to simplify household management, so you can spend less time working on tasks and more time enjoying life at home.

Samsung Electronics Singapore today announced that it has entered a collaboration with Fraser Residence River Promenade in Singapore to pilot AI-enabled hospitality experiences.

Guests can experience Samsung-powered smart rooms – from room and lighting settings to supporting everyday chores – thanks to the latest Samsung devices powered by SmartThings. These rooms will be available for booking from 1 October 2026 via Frasers Residence River Promenade website.

From smart homes to smart, intuitive hospitality experiences

As technology becomes increasingly integrated into everyday routines, consumers are moving beyond standalone smart devices towards connected experiences where products work seamlessly together.

Such experiences are also what draws travelers into making a booking with a property. In a recent study by Amadeus, 74% polled were said to be keen to have their trips personalised. They are also more willing to spend on room elements or add-on services that appeal to their travel needs. Through this pilot, Samsung aims to showcase a connected living adapted for hospitality environments.

In addition, Singapore’s strong digital connectivity and consumers’ readiness to embrace new technologies offers an opportunity to pilot connected hospitality experiences and explore how these innovations can enhance everyday guest stays

“At Samsung, our vision is to bring AI to all, where our technology and solutions work seamlessly together to help simplify everyday experiences. Through this pilot with Frasers Hospitality, we want to be able to showcase our vision of AI Living in a thoughtful and meaningful way, where guests can experience how connected experiences powered by SmartThings can transform their stays,” said Jeffrey Hahn, President, Samsung Electronics Singapore.

Samsung smart rooms deliver smart, personalised experiences

 The pilot comprises three smart rooms across One-Bedroom Deluxe and Studio Deluxe units. Designed around Samsung’s connected ecosystem, the rooms bring together Samsung TV and audio products, home appliances and Galaxy devices through SmartThings, alongside compatible connected technologies.

Guests will experience a range of Samsung products, including The Frame Pro and Mini LED TVs, Galaxy Tab S11, Music Studio 5 speakers and Bespoke AI laundry appliances. Together, these products and connected devices are designed to work as one ecosystem, supporting different moments throughout a guest’s stay.

At the heart of the experience is a series of connected routines designed around key guest moments. From welcoming guests upon arrival and helping them ease into the day, to creating the right ambience for entertainment or winding down at night, SmartThings enables connected devices across the room to work together seamlessly in the background.

Rather than functioning as standalone products, the smart ecosystem responds to different guest needs throughout their stay, demonstrating how connected living can potentially enhance convenience and comfort in a hospitality setting.

Book your smart stay today

For consumers interested in experiencing the pilot smart rooms at Fraser Residence River Promenade, they can book their stays via https://www.frasershospitality.com/en/singapore/fraser-residence-river-promenade-singapore/samsung-smart-rooms from 1 October 2026.

Together, Samsung’s picture and audio technologies elevate the at-home concert experience, bringing viewers closer to the feeling of being at the performance.

Samsung TV Plus Brings aespa’s Latest Concert to Fans at Home

The aespa premiere marks the latest instalment of Monthly SM Concert, Samsung TV Plus’ collaboration with SM Entertainment that brings a new SM artist concert to viewers each month. Launched earlier this year, the series creates a recurring destination for K-pop fans to experience concert premieres and encore programming from home.

Samsung TV Plus offers the series subscription-free, expanding access to SM Entertainment performances on the big screens at home.

Following its debut on Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Fold8, and Flip8, One UI 9 brings an easier, more seamless mobile experience across form factors, as well as enhanced Galaxy AI that is richer, more personal, and more helpful.

New Features Help Users Capture, Personalise, and Manage

One UI 9 introduces new ways to keep people in focus, tailor the information users see each day, and manage device care more easily.

• My FanCam^[2] automatically tracks a selected person in a recorded video and keeps them centred, intelligently reframing the footage as the scene moves. This allows users to turn dynamic moments into social-ready content with less manual editing. Whether it’s a child’s performance, a friend on the dance floor, or an exciting moment during a sporting event, users can instantly put the focus on the person they want to see.

• The new Generative and Editable Cards on Now Brief^[3] help users choose what appears in their daily summaries. Users can create cards across health, weather, and video so their daily brief reflects the information most relevant to them.
• Warranty and Care^[4] brings device support and protection directly into the Settings menu. Users can now check warranty coverage across connected mobile devices, run self-diagnostics, view repair estimates, and manage Samsung Care+ or book a service appointment with just a few taps.

Enhanced Capabilities Help Users Do More With Less Effort

One UI 9 builds on familiar Galaxy experiences to help users complete everyday tasks in fewer steps, with context-aware suggestions, timely creative prompts, and improvements to translation, scanning, and recording.

• Now Nudge^[5] can surface timely, context-aware suggestions across more moments in the Galaxy experience, helping users take the next step without breaking their flow. For example, when making plans over text, users can pull up reservation details or save a shared location without leaving the conversation.
• Creative Studio now suggests image-generation ideas based on relevant upcoming events. For example, when a friend’s birthday is approaching, users may see a prompt to create a themed image or greeting, allowing them to quickly create something meaningful for the occasion.
• Interpreter^[6] introduces a new Thread View that enables users to better follow translated conversations by quickly referencing earlier exchanges. In addition, faster translation in Conversation Mode and quicker playback with compatible Galaxy Buds help reduce delays, making conversations feel more natural and continuous.
• Document Scan now allows users to digitise challenging materials such as curved book pages and corner-folded papers with less manual adjustment. The large-screen-optimised views on compatible Galaxy devices, along with an improved Finger Eraser, help create cleaner and more usable scans.
• Voice Recorder presents summaries in a clearer, more structured format, using elements such as headings and tables to make key information easier to scan at a glance.

Enhanced Security and Privacy Help Users Stay Informed and in Control

One UI 9 continues Samsung’s approach to security and privacy with transparency, choice, and control built into the experience. The latest updates help users better understand when something may need their attention and make it easier to take action.

• Security Brief brings key security and privacy updates like alerts for malware, apps from unknown sources, and unnecessary permissions to Now Brief, helping users identify potential issues earlier and determine when action is necessary.
• Privacy Alerts^[7] use on-device AI to identify potential privacy risks, including unnecessary attempts to access permissions in the background, giving users greater awareness of how their information is being accessed.
• Scam Detection^[8] expands to additional countries^[9] and languages, bringing protection against potential scam calls to more Galaxy users across supported markets.

_{^[1] As of the publication of this press release, the official One UI 9 has been rolled out to Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold8, and Galaxy Z Flip8. The update is expected to gradually roll out to other Galaxy devices.}

• Since the introduction of Galaxy Fold in 2019, Samsung has evolved the foldable experience across form factor, displays, durability, multitasking, cameras and Galaxy AI.
• Over the years, Galaxy Z Fold has supported large-screen productivity and immersive viewing, while Galaxy Z Flip has introduced new ways to create, express and interact through a compact foldable form factor.
• Today, Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold8 and Galaxy Z Flip8 offer three distinct foldable experiences designed to meet different lifestyle needs.

Do you remember the first time you ever saw a foldable mobile phone?

Modern foldables of today have evolved far beyond just a screen that folds. Samsung’s line-up now combines intelligent features with large displays for productivity, entertainment, and communication.

Since the introduction of the first Galaxy Fold in 2019, Samsung has been leveraging a deep understanding of consumer needs and strengthening expertise in this category. Valuable insights and experiences gained from seven generations of foldable innovation has resulted in the most complete line-up yet – the all-new Galaxy Z8 series.

This exciting line-up is resonating with consumers globally, including those in Southeast Asia and Oceania. In this region, sales of the Galaxy Z Fold8 and Fold8 Ultra have grown 40% compared to the Galaxy Z Fold7. The new series is also compelling more people in the region to embrace Samsung foldables, with switchers to the Galaxy Z Fold8 series from other brands increasing by more than 60% compared to those who made a switch to the previous Z Fold generation.

From the latest innovations unveiled in 2026, let’s trace Samsung’s evolution of foldable technology through the years – from its newest breakthroughs, all the way back to the debut of its very first foldable phone. Here’s how the journey unfolded.

2026: Three distinct foldables built for immersion, productivity and self-expression

The latest foldable line-up presents a broad portfolio designed to meet distinct user needs. The Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold8 and Galaxy Z Flip8 bring together advancements across form factor, display engineering, camera features, and Galaxy AI, empowering users with more choice than ever to pick a foldable that best suits their needs.

2024 to 2025: Bigger possibilities for everyone with mobile AI

In 2024, the Galaxy Z series was first equipped with Galaxy AI, offering users AI-powered experiences tailored to each form factor.

2021-2023: Bringing foldables into everyone’s everyday life

As the category developed, Samsung continued to refine foldables to improve durability and increase versatility, enabling the form factor to better fit into everyday life.

2019-2020: Can you fold a mobile phone?

Long before foldables became familiar in everyday mobile experiences, Samsung took the bold step of reimagining what the category could look like. And after launching a foldable for the first time in 2019, Samsung continued to show that foldables were not just phones with flexible screens, but devices that could support entirely new ways to enjoy mobile experiences. With relentless innovation over the years, Samsung has driven the technology from concept to mainstream adoption.

More still to come for the Galaxy Z series

What began as a bold idea in 2019 has evolved into a comprehensive Galaxy Z portfolio shaped by relentless innovation and improvements. The journey is far from over. Across the Galaxy Z series, Samsung will continue to make the foldable experience even more intuitive, capable, and seamless for everyone.

Samsung will also be making a donation to support SHF’s ongoing heart health programmes and initiatives in support of healthier lifestyles. Registrations for the event exceeded initial participant targets, underscoring strong public interest in health and wellness activities.

The Galaxy Walkathon is the first activation under Samsung and The Kallang Group’s multi-year partnership, and is part of the  National Stadium Experience, bringing families and the community together through fun activities and memorable shared experiences. To mark this momentous community effort and champion heart health awareness, The Kallang Group will also light up the National Stadium in red on the evening of 13 September.

“We are encouraged to see so many Singaporeans come together for our first Galaxy Walkathon. Every step taken today is a positive step towards better health and wellbeing. As more people look for ways to live more active lives, we believe technology can help make healthy habits easier to build,” said Jeffrey Hahn, President, Samsung Electronics Singapore. “We are also thankful to our partners for supporting this event and helping us encourage more people to take small, meaningful steps towards better health.”

“Exercising is an important way to work towards a healthier heart. We are pleased to partner with Samsung Singapore for the Galaxy Walkathon to encourage more Singaporeans to get active and shape the future of our nation’s heart health together with us,” said Mr Lim Kiat, Assistant Director, Strategic Partnerships & Philanthropy, Singapore Heart Foundation.

Beyond the walk itself, participants also had the opportunity to explore a range of wellness-focused experiences at the Walkers’ Village, designed to inspire healthier habits into their daily routines. These included hands-on experiences with the latest Galaxy products powered by Samsung Health. The morning also featured a guided community cool-down session, alongside partner booths and activities as part of the National Stadium Experience. From sports tryouts to the AL!VE Artisan Market, participants were encouraged to stay active, connect with the community and discover new ways to support their wellbeing.

The Galaxy Walkathon marks the first of many upcoming initiatives as part of Samsung Singapore’s broader efforts in promoting wellness and healthier communities through technology, partnerships and community engagement, and Singaporeans can look forward to the latest initiatives and announcements on Samsung Singapore Newsroom.

Held in support of World Heart Day 2026 and in partnership with Singapore Heart Foundation, the Samsung Galaxy Walkathon invites Singaporeans of all ages and abilities to complete a meaningful 5km walk around The Kallang precinct, equivalent to 6,100 steps, in celebration of Singapore’s 61st birthday. To mark this momentous community effort and champion heart health awareness, The Kallang Group will light-up the National Stadium in red on the evening of 13 September.

As part of the Walkathon, Samsung has launched a donation drive and will contribute to the Singapore Heart Foundation to support efforts to raise awareness of heart health and provide financial assistance to patients.

Participants will also have the opportunity to experience Samsung’s AI-powered wearables^[1], which provide personalised insights to support healthier habits and wellness goals. For example, the new Heart Health Score provides clarity on heart health based on sleep, stress and activity, alongside recommendations to help users maintain or improve their overall heart health.

Enhancing experiences across The Kallang

Beyond community activations, the partnership will also enhance visitor experiences across The Kallang through innovative display technologies and connected solutions. These include:

• Enhanced fan and visitor experiences through the precinct-wide installation of close to 500 Samsung AI TVs and monitors^[2] in hospitality suites and event spaces. As the Official Consumer Electronics Partner of the Singapore Tennis Open 2026 (21 to 27 September), Samsung will bring fans closer to the action by screening selected matches on high-definition displays at OCBC Arena and the Fan Zone at Arena Park. Access to the Fan Zone is free to all members of the public.
• Seamless access to information and services at key touchpoints, including The Kallang Ticketing Box and within the Kallang Wave Mall, through the deployment of Samsung smart monitors that enhance wayfinding and visitor experience.
• Bringing the community together through support for major celebrations and events held at the precinct. This includes Countdown 2027 at The Kallang, an annual celebration that brings thousands together to welcome the new year through shared experiences. More details will be announced at a later date.

As those technologies evolved, Samsung focused on another challenge: making a large-screen foldable easier to carry every day, without losing the experiences that make the form factor unique.

And through that pursuit, Galaxy Z Fold5 weighed 253 grams, and Galaxy Z Fold6 reduced its weight further to 239 grams.

With Galaxy Z Fold7 came an even more ambitious goal:

“Could a foldable be lighter than a bar-type flagship smartphone?”

At the time, Galaxy S25 Ultra — one of Samsung’s flagship bar-type smartphones — weighed 218 grams. So, the development team set an even lighter weight target for Galaxy Z Fold7: 215 grams.

Galaxy Z Fold7 reached that goal. And now, building on years of foldable innovation, Galaxy Z Fold8 combines a new form factor with advances in core technologies, materials, and internal architecture to weigh just 201 grams — 52 grams lighter than Galaxy Z Fold5. At 201 grams, Galaxy Z Fold8 is the world’s lightest fold. ^[1]

▲ Galaxy Z Fold’s weight and thickness by generation

But consumers expected more than just a lighter foldable.

A 2024 YouGov survey found that a bulky or heavy design remained a concern among consumers not planning to purchase foldables, while battery life, durability, and display quality ranked as top priorities for those considering them.

This insight shaped a core engineering goal for Samsung: make foldables thinner and lighter, while maintaining the core experiences users value most.

Battery life, camera performance, thermal management, and durability still had to advance.

That could not be achieved by changing a single component. Samsung engineers had to reimagine the entire device — advancing fundamental foldable technologies, introducing new materials, and revisiting hundreds of components and auxiliary parts to the fraction-of-a-gram level.

From 253 grams to 201 grams. Three engineering innovations enabled that transformation.

The Thinner and Lighter a Foldable Gets, the More Precise the Engineering Must Become

Making a foldable thinner and lighter brings a new set of engineering challenges.

The layers inside the display need to become thinner while still meeting Samsung’s durability and reliability requirements. The metal plate supporting the display needs to stay extremely flat even as it becomes thinner. And the hinge has to manage the forces created every time the device folds and unfolds, while being designed around the size and structure of each product.

Across generations, Samsung has continued to advance the display layers, ultra-thin metal precision machining, and hinge technologies central to its foldable devices.

One example is Flex Titanium.

The displays in Galaxy Z Fold8 and Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra use Flex Titanium technology featuring a Titanium Alloy Film designed for the foldable display structure.

The film is just tens of micrometers thick — roughly one-third the width of a human hair. Its material and structure work together to maintain performance at this extreme thickness.

The metal plate that supports the display presents a different challenge.

Some metal plates are machined to approximately 0.2 millimeters thick, with the thinnest sections reaching 0.15 millimeters. At that level, simply making the metal thinner is not enough. Thin metal can bend or warp more easily during machining, and even a small change in shape can affect assembly precision or the surface quality of the display.

What matters is the ability to machine ultra-thin metal at around 0.2 millimeters while consistently achieving the required shape and flatness.

Samsung refined the machining sequence, tooling, cooling conditions, and process parameters, breaking the process into multiple stages to maintain precision.

The hinge requires the same level of care.

Beyond simply opening and closing the phone, it must distribute the forces created by repeated folding and unfolding across the device while maintaining structural stability.

And these requirements vary by product size and architecture.

Samsung engineers the hinge for each form factor, carefully balancing load distribution, strength, durability, internal space, and weight rather than just scaling it down from one generation to the next.

Creating a thinner and lighter foldable requires more than downsizing individual parts.

It comes from greater precision in how materials are machined, how forces are managed, and how structures are designed within a limited space.

Lighter, Built for Strength — Starting With the Materials

The second area is materials innovation.

Different parts of a foldable have very different jobs. Some demand high rigidity. Some must withstand repeated movement. Others need to spread heat efficiently.

Samsung selects and develops materials around those specific needs, delivering the performance each requires while optimizing weight and space.

In Galaxy Z Fold8 and Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Flex Titanium incorporates a Titanium Alloy Film to support the foldable display structure.

For the exterior, Samsung uses Advanced Armor Aluminum, helping provide the strength and durability needed in a thin and lightweight frame.

Materials also play an important role in thermal management.

As a device gets thinner, there is less room to manage the heat generated inside. Samsung uses graphite with improved thermal performance, while tailoring the overall thermal structure to the size and performance requirements of each product.

In Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, which has similar overall dimensions to Galaxy Z Fold7, the volume of the graphite heat-dissipation layer was increased by approximately 7% to help support its enhanced performance.

Samsung also applies Clad Metal inside the rear of the device. By combining the characteristics of different metals, the material helps reduce weight while providing the thermal performance required within a thin structure.

Materials innovation is therefore not just about choosing lighter options, but about using the right material in the right place to deliver the performance each part needs with less weight and space.

Looking Again at the Entire Device — Down to 0.001 Grams

Only so much can be achieved through core technologies and new materials alone.

In a foldable already packed with highly integrated components, finding the next few grams means looking again at almost everything inside the device.

Samsung engineers reviewed approximately 270 components and more than 180 types of auxiliary parts.

This spanned everything from the display, hinge, and cameras to circuit boards, antennas, brackets, tapes, and fasteners.

The precision extended to reductions of 0.1 grams and 0.1 millimeters, and in some auxiliary parts, as little as 0.001 grams.

The printed circuit board, or PCB, was redesigned to remove unnecessary circuits, improve component layout, and minimize its footprint.

The MFC (Magnetic Flux Channel) antenna was also reimagined to reduce unnecessary overlap and interference with surrounding components, allowing the limited internal space to be used more efficiently.

Every auxiliary part, no matter how small, was examined.

Of the more than 180 types previously used, approximately 15 were eliminated.

Engineers then reviewed the remaining 170 types, trimming oversized areas, refining shapes, and optimising dimensions. Multiple parts were consolidated into single structures where possible.

In some cases, the savings were measured in increments as small as 0.001 grams.

Each change seems minor in isolation, but repeated across the device, fractions of a gram become tenths of a gram, then whole grams.

The weight savings on a finished device result from hundreds of small engineering decisions.

Finding 6 Grams Again to Make Room for More

The goal was to reinvest the weight and space recovered through engineering into the capabilities people actually experience — including the battery, cameras, and thermal system.

Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra provides a separate example of how this approach can be applied.

Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra and Galaxy Z Fold7 have similar overall dimensions and both weigh 215 grams. But within that same weight, Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra increases battery capacity from 4,400 mAh to 5,000 mAh.

That larger battery brought its own challenge: the battery itself added approximately 6 grams.

So the development team faced a new question:

“Where could we find those 6 grams again?”

There was no single component that could provide the answer.

Instead, engineers applied the same systematic approach across the entire device — materials and structures, circuit layouts, and component placement, down to the smallest auxiliary parts — identifying weight savings across all components.

This strategy extended to internal space optimisation.

By reducing unnecessary overlap between the display, circuits, antennas, and surrounding components, and by improving packaging efficiency, Samsung created room for a larger battery and enhanced thermal and camera systems.

As a result, Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra accommodates a 5,000 mAh battery while increasing the volume of its graphite heat-dissipation layer by approximately 7% compared with the similarly sized Galaxy Z Fold7.

Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra features a 200 MP main camera and introduces the first 50 MP Ultra-Wide camera on a Galaxy Z Fold device.

Samsung’s approach to a thinner and lighter foldable is therefore not about removing capabilities.

It is about redirecting weight and space savings toward the flagship experiences users value most.

From 253 Grams to 201 Grams: Redefining the Weight Standard for Foldables

The journey began with the first Galaxy Fold at 276 grams in 2019. Across eight generations, Samsung has continued to advance the technologies, materials, and internal architecture behind the foldable experience.

In recent generations, that progress accelerated — from 253 grams with Galaxy Z Fold5 to 201 grams with Galaxy Z Fold8.

But the story isn’t just about reducing weight.

Samsung’s goal has been to make a large-screen foldable easier to carry without giving up the qualities users expect from a flagship smartphone.

The weight and space recovered through advances in core technologies, materials, and component design were put back into the battery, cameras, thermal system, and other flagship experiences users value most.

From 253 grams to 201 grams.

No single material or component made that transformation possible.

Eight generations of engineering enabled this, advancing core technologies, introducing new materials, and rethinking the entire device to make Galaxy Z Fold easier to carry without compromising the flagship experience.
