The Galaxy Z Fold 8, Fold 8 Ultra, and Flip 8 are now available for preorder ahead of their August 7th launch. Samsung Galaxy Flip8, Fold8, and Fold8 Ultra-2 You probably noticed that Samsung’s foldable lineup looks a little different this year. Rather than simply updating the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Samsung now has two book-style foldables: the productivity-focused Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and the shorter, wider (when folded) Galaxy Z Fold 8 that’s geared more toward entertainment. The Galaxy Z Flip 8, meanwhile, is a touch thinner and lighter than its predecessor, but otherwise retains the same design as the Flip 7. All three phones also feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy processor and ship with Android 17 and One UI 9, which add new AI features like Gemini Intelligence task automation and Now Nudge, which proactively surfaces helpful suggestions like an event to your calendar. We’re still in the process of testing all three foldables, but after spending a few hours with them, we’ve shared our early hands-on impressions of the Galaxy Z Flip 8, Galaxy Z Fold 8, and Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra.

Unlike the larger, productivity-focused Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, the Z Fold 8 is designed more for entertainment, with a wider, shorter design that feels more like a small tablet when unfolded. The 4:3 inner display is better suited for reading and gaming than previous Fold models. It also shares many of the Ultra’s core features, including Samsung’s new Flex Titanium display technology so the crease is less noticeable, a bright 120Hz OLED display, and the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy processor. Samsung has also upgraded the Fold 7’s 4,400mAh battery to a larger 4,800mAh silicon-carbon cell, though it drops the telephoto lens found on both the Fold 7 and Fold 8 Ultra in favor of a dual-camera system.
