Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Z Fold 8 Ultra, and Z Flip 8: Specs, Price & Release Date Rumours 2026
Samsung Galaxy Unpacked lands this Wednesday, 22 July 2026, and by the time the event starts in London, we should finally meet the Samsung Z Fold 8, Z fold 8 Ultra, and Samsung Z Flip 8 in the flesh. Until then, the leaks have been coming thick and fast, and honestly, this year’s leaked info is one of the most detailed I’ve seen ahead of a foldable launch.
So before the official reveal, here’s my full rumour roundup: every leaked spec, the expected upgrades, the surprise new model, the rumoured release date, and what the price in Singapore might look like for each one.
A quick note: everything below is based on leaks and industry reports, not official Samsung confirmation. Treat it as informed speculation. I’ll update this page the moment the real specs drop on 22 July. No surprises.
The short version:
- Unpacked event (release date): Wednesday, 22 July 2026, around 9pm Singapore time.
- Three foldables expected: the redesigned wider Z Fold 8, a camera-focused Z Fold 8 Ultra, and the compact Z Flip 8.
- Biggest upgrades: a slimmer, lighter Fold, a rumoured 200MP camera on the Ultra, and a faster chip in the Flip.
- Singapore price: not confirmed yet. Overseas leaks hint at a small increase over last year.
When is Samsung Unpacked Samsung Z Fold 8, Z Fold 8 Ultra, & Z Flip 8?
Samsung has officially confirmed the event.
- Date: Wednesday, 22 July 2026
- Location: London, UK
- Singapore time: Around 9pm SGT (9am EDT / 2pm BST)
- Where to watch: Samsung.com, Samsung Newsroom, and Samsung’s YouTube channel
The teaser tagline is “A New Shape Unfolds”, which brings me neatly to the biggest rumour of all.
The big surprise for Samsung Z Fold 8, Z Fold 8 Ultra, & Z Flip 8: three foldables, not two
For years, it’s been a simple choice: the tall, book-style Z Fold or the compact, clamshell Z Flip. This year, leaks point to Samsung widening the line-up:
- Samsung Z Fold 8: a redesigned shorter, wider book-style design, widely seen as Samsung’s answer to the rumoured foldable iPhone
- Samsung Z Fold 8 Ultra: a higher-end version with the flagship camera and top-tier internals
- Samsung Z Flip 8: the compact and iconic clamshell
Here’s the part that matters most for us: polished promo images of the new Z Fold 8 have reportedly already leaked. When marketing shots surface this close to an event, it usually means the phones are finished and heading to shelves soon, not just a distant tease.

Samsung Z Fold 8: rumoured specs
The Z Fold 8 is shaping up to be a proper refinement year: thinner, lighter, and finally addressing a few long-standing gripes.
Feature | Rumoured Z Fold 8 |
|---|---|
Cover Display | 5.5″ Dynamic AMOLED 2X, 120Hz |
Main Display | 7.6″ Dynamic AMOLED 2X, 120Hz |
Body | Around 9.7mm folded / 4.5mm unfolded, roughly 200g (lighter than the 215g Fold 7) |
Processor | Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 “for Galaxy” |
Rear Camera | 50MP wide + 50MP ultrawide (telephoto not expected on the standard model) |
Front Camera | 10MP on each display (rumoured) |
Battery | Around 4,800mAh |
IP Rating | Not yet confirmed (IP48 expected) |
Memory | 12GB RAM, from 256GB |
Software | Android 16 with One UI 8 (expected) |
Available Colours | Cream, Graphite, Lavender, Pistachio |
The headline improvements? A slimmer, lighter body, that top-end Snapdragon chip, and a bump in battery capacity, which together tackle a few of the Fold’s most persistent gripes.
If you want to see how far this has come, it’s worth comparing against last year in my Z Flip 7 and Z Fold 7 specs and features breakdown.

Samsung Z Fold 8 Ultra: rumoured specs
If the leaks are right, the Z Fold 8 Ultra is where Samsung is putting its best foot forward, especially on cameras.
Feature | Rumoured Z Fold 8 Ultra |
|---|---|
Cover Display | Not yet leaked |
Main Display | Larger than the standard Fold 8 (exact size not yet leaked) |
Body | Not yet leaked |
Processor | Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 “for Galaxy” |
Rear Camera | 200MP wide (f/1.7, OIS) + 10MP telephoto (3x) + 50MP ultrawide |
Front Camera | Dual 10MP (one on each display) |
Battery | Around 5,000mAh |
IP Rating | Not yet confirmed (IP48 expected) |
Memory | Up to 16GB RAM, up to 1TB storage |
Software | Android 16 with One UI 8 (expected) |
Available Colours | Cream, Graphite, Green Shadow, Violet Shadow |
A 200MP main sensor on a foldable would be a first, and pairing it with a much-improved 50MP ultrawide finally brings the Fold’s cameras closer to Samsung’s Ultra-class slab phones. For anyone who’s held off on foldables purely because of the cameras, this is the model to watch.

Main Display | 6.9″ Dynamic AMOLED 2X, 120Hz, up to 2,600 nits |

The standout is a noticeably faster chip and a lighter body. Displays and battery capacity look largely unchanged from the Flip 7, reportedly a deliberate move by Samsung to keep the price in check.

How much will the Z Fold 8, Z Fold 8 Ultra, and Z Flip 8 cost in Singapore?
This is the question I get most, so let me be straight with you: Samsung hasn’t confirmed official Singapore pricing yet. That said, the latest leaks point to these starting prices for Singapore:
- Samsung Z Fold 8: rumoured to start around S$2,699
- Samsung Z Fold 8 Ultra: rumoured to start around S$2,999
- Samsung Z Flip 8: rumoured to start around S$1,949
Treat these as rumoured, not final. Leaked prices can still shift right up to launch, and the official Singapore figures only land at Unpacked on 22 July. The moment they’re confirmed, I’ll update this page and both product pages so you can see exactly where you stand.
If a price increase does land, there are two things you can always consider to lower the upgrade cost. A good trade-in on your current device, like the one offered at Mister Mobile, can take a real chunk off the price. And keeping your current foldable in top shape, with top-quality Samsung repair if you need it, means you can hold out for the right deal instead of upgrading in a rush.
Should you wait for the Z Fold 8 / Z Flip 8, or buy now?
A fair question if you’re due for an upgrade. A few honest pointers:
- If you want the very latest: hold on until the Unpacked event on 22 July. It’s only a few days away, and you’ll want to see the real specs and Singapore pricing before deciding.
- If you’re eyeing the Z Fold 7 or Z Flip 7: a new generation often nudges the previous model’s price down, so last year’s foldables can become a smart value pick, and often the cheapest route into a foldable.
- If cameras are your priority: the Z Fold 8 Ultra’s rumoured 200MP setup could be worth the wait.
