Overview
- Samsung has confirmed Galaxy Unpacked for July 22 in London and multiple outlets report the event will introduce the Galaxy Z Flip 8, a new wider Galaxy Z Fold 8 and a higher‑spec Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra.
- Recent images said to be from a South Korea retailer and multiple high‑profile leaks have converged on the devices’ final designs and reinforced that Samsung plans a two‑model Fold strategy.
- US price leaks from SEDaily and industry reports peg the 256GB Fold 8 at about $1,899 and the Fold 8 Ultra at about $2,099, with outlets tying the increases to rising DRAM and NAND memory costs.
- Prominent leakers including Ice Universe say the Z Flip 8 is ‘likely’ to be Samsung’s last small clamshell, a claim that remains unconfirmed by Samsung but is linked in reports to tighter margins and shifting production toward Folds.
- Leaks also point to technical upgrades: Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy, bigger batteries (around 4,800–5,000mAh), improved hinges and camera/software features borrowed from Samsung’s flagship S26 line.
