Foldables perfected: First look at Samsung’s latest Galaxy Z series

Samsung Electronics has unveiled itsnew Galaxy Z series— its most comprehensive foldable smartphone lineup yet. Built on seven generations of foldable innovation and consumer insight, the Galaxy Z series gives users more choice than ever, with three distinct form factors engineered to fit different needs: Galaxy Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been optimised for each of these form factors. Across the lineup, every insight feels more actionable and every action feels more connected.

Multitasking is easier on the larger screens of Galaxy Z Fold8 and Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, while Galaxy Z Flip8’s AI-native FlexWindow keeps relevant information and shortcuts within reach. And with partner AI experiences such as Gemini Intelligence, Galaxy gives users even more ways to get things done in fewer steps — with transparency, privacy and user control built in. “As AI becomes more agentic, mobile devices will become the most personal entry point to experiences that understand and adapt to each user,” says TM Roh, CEO, president and head of the Device eXperience Division at Samsung Electronics.

“By setting a new standard for foldables, we are once again advancing the premium mobile experience and opening the next era of intelligence to more people.” The Galaxy Z Fold8is engineered for users who want a foldable smartphone that feels natural in the moments when curiosity turns into deeper discovery. It introduces a form factor designed to move easily from quick interactions on the cover screen to deeper viewing, reading and gaming on the main display. At just 201g, the Galaxy Fold8 is also Samsung’s lightest Galaxy Z Fold yet. Despite its lightweight design, it pairs the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy processor with a larger 4,800mAh battery, delivering smooth, responsive performance and lasting power so users can stay immersed longer.
