Samsung's latest addition to its lineup of smartphones with expansive folding screens, the Galaxy Z Fold series, has recently made an appearance in the certification database of the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). Anticipation is mounting for its release under the moniker 'Galaxy Z Fold8,' alongside its successor to the current vertically-oriented folding model, dubbed the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra. Samsung has scheduled a grand global product unveiling event in London on July 22, 2026, where it will officially introduce the two flagship folding devices: the Galaxy Z Fold8 and the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra.

The Galaxy Z Fold8 boasts an expansive folding screen, featuring a 7.6-inch inner display complemented by a 5.4-inch outer display. Remarkably slender at just 4.5 millimeters in thickness, it packs a robust 5000mAh battery, supports 45W rapid charging, and is rumored to be powered by Qualcomm's cutting-edge fifth-generation Snapdragon 8 Supreme Edition chipset. The Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, positioned as the premium offering, is equipped with a triple-camera setup, maintains the same 5000mAh battery capacity and 45W fast charging capability, boasts a taller profile, and incorporates a sophisticated rear triple-camera module.

Both models are designed to cater to the diverse needs of users, thereby reinforcing Samsung's preeminent standing in the competitive folding smartphone market.
