Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra: Specs and Features

The Fold8 Ultra is Samsung’s flagship foldable for this generation, built around an 8-inch main display meant to function as a genuine workspace for multitasking. Despite the larger screen, the phone measures just 4.1mm when unfolded and weighs 215g, making it Samsung’s slimmest Fold yet.

On the camera front, it packs a 200MP main sensor with HDR support in full-resolution mode, along with a new 50MP ultra-wide camera for landscapes and macro shots. Nightography improvements target better low-light photos and videos, while creators get 8K recording through a new APV codec and on-device Cine LUT tools for colour grading. The device runs on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy chip, backed by a 5,000mAh battery with 45W fast charging.

Galaxy Z Fold8: Specs and Features

The standard Fold8 weighs 201g, which Samsung says makes it the lightest Fold it has built, while still housing a 4800mAh battery. Its display adjusts based on use as a 10:16 cover screen for messaging and browsing when folded, a 4:3 main display for games and films when opened, and a reading-friendly ratio when rotated.

This generation also introduces Flex Titanium, a display structure combining a titanium alloy film with a reinforced titanium plate to cut down crease visibility and improve durability against folding and impact. Peak brightness on the main display reaches 3000 nits, aided by Vision Booster and a low-reflection finish for outdoor use. The camera setup includes dual 50MP wide and ultra-wide sensors, with Dual Recording capturing both sides of a moment at once and My FanCam auto-framing a subject to cut down on manual editing.

Galaxy Z Flip8: Specs and Features

The Flip8 is Samsung’s slimmest and lightest Flip phone to date, at 180g and 6.1mm thick. The bigger change is its FlexWindow, now positioned as an AI-native interface that handles notifications, app shortcuts and connected tasks without needing the phone to be opened. A “Now Brief” panel on the cover screen surfaces relevant updates, and Gemini Intelligence can be triggered directly from FlexWindow via the side key or voice.

Camera-wise, it uses a 50MP sensor on Samsung’s ProVisual Engine for improved selfies, skin tones and background blur. Flex Mode enables hands-free shooting, Super Steady now includes Horizon Lock for stable cover-screen video, and FlipShot lets users personalise the FlexWindow while taking mirror selfies.

Galaxy AI Across the Range

All three phones ship with an expanded set of Galaxy AI tools. Now Brief and Now Nudge proactively surface information and suggested actions, like checking a schedule or saving a location, based on a user’s routine. Gemini Intelligence now supports app automation across 49 apps and services for tasks such as restaurant bookings and ticket searches, while Notebooks in Gemini can compile notes, images and recordings into structured summaries.

Security and Privacy

Samsung Knox continues to secure the devices from the chip level, with Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection and Knox Vault handling encrypted app storage and sensitive data respectively. One UI 9 adds an AI Assistant Activity dashboard for reviewing and managing AI actions in one place, along with Enhanced Privacy Alerts that flag unusual background permission requests.

Switching from iPhone

Samsung has also updated Smart Switch to let users migrate data from an iPhone by scanning a QR code, without installing extra apps. Quick Share now supports AirDrop as well, allowing file transfers between iOS and Galaxy devices in both directions.

Pre-orders for all three models are live now through Samsung’s online and retail channels in India.
