How the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Flip 8 phones compare
The Verge·July 22, 2026
Samsung has announced its latest folding Galaxy Z phones, including the Galaxy Z Flip 8, Fold 8, and Fold 8 Ultra, which are set to launch on August 7th. The new models feature design updates and AI features, but do not offer significant upgrades for those who purchased last year's models. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 is expected to garner the most attention in the US, although its release may be impacted by a potential Apple foldable device. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 is a new, shorter version of the foldable phone, rather than a direct successor to last year's Z Fold 7.
