Samsung unveils new Galaxy Z8 foldables and Galaxy Watches, available August 7

The rumors haven't left much to the imagination, but Samsung has unfurled its 2026 foldable lineup today. There are three models for the first time in Samsung's eight-gen foldable family, including the top-of-the-line Z Fold 8 Ultra. That phone is the successor to last year's Galaxy Z Fold 7 , but the Z Fold 8 is new—the company's first wide-body foldable designed for media over multitasking.

And then there's a new, thinner flip phone, plus a pair of smartwatches. You can preorder Samsung's new hardware today, but the component shortage has made these already spendy product lines more expensive this year. Even the Z Flip 8 is now well over a grand, and the Ultra costs almost twice as much.

9 mm, 215g Colors Pink, Graphite, Cream, Mint (online) Lavender, Graphite, Cream, Pistachio (online) Violet Shadow, Graphite, Cream, Green Shadow (online) The Z Fold 8 Ultra has the same basic form factor as the last few Samsung tablet-style foldables. 5-inch OLED on the outside is about the same ratio as a standard smartphone screen. Open it up, and you get an 8-inch display that's roughly twice as wide.

That makes the main display close to square.
