Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 lineup could cost hundreds more this year - Digital Trends

Samsung’s next-generation foldable smartphones could arrive with higher price tags in the US, according to a new report ahead of the company’s upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event. The leak suggests that both the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and the premium Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra will see price increases over their predecessors, with Samsung also expected to introduce a wider foldable design alongside new AI-powered features.

According to a report by SE Daily, Samsung is in the final stages of determining US pricing for its upcoming foldables. The publication claims that the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra with 256GB of storage could be priced at $2,099 (roughly Rs. 2,00,300), making it around $100 (roughly Rs. 9,500) more expensive than the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which launched at $1,999 (roughly Rs. 1,90,700).

The report attributes the expected price increase primarily to rising memory component costs, although it notes that Samsung’s adjustment is relatively modest compared to some of the larger price hikes seen elsewhere in the smartphone industry. In addition to the Ultra model, Samsung is also said to be preparing a wider foldable device, though specific details about its design and hardware remain under wraps.

Beyond hardware upgrades, Samsung is reportedly planning to integrate Google’s Gemini Intelligence across the Galaxy Z Fold 8 lineup from day one, bringing advanced AI capabilities to its latest foldable devices. The company is expected to officially unveil the new smartphones during its Galaxy Unpacked event scheduled for July 22, when pricing, specifications, and global availability are likely to be confirmed.

Galaxy Z Fold 8 release date: here's when Samsung could launch its next foldable

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Fold 8 Ultra Dummy Units Leak, Revealing Noticeable Design Differences

Samsung’s next-generation foldable lineup may be closer to launch, as newly leaked dummy unit renders have provided an early look at the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra. The images showcase the two devices side by side, offering insight into how Samsung could differentiate its standard and premium foldable models this year.

Shared by well-known tipster Ice Universe, the leaked renders suggest that while both smartphones retain Samsung’s signature book-style foldable form factor, their overall dimensions could vary considerably. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 appears to adopt a shorter and wider design, resulting in a broader cover display and a potentially more conventional smartphone-like aspect ratio when closed.

In contrast, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra seems to maintain a design language similar to that of the Galaxy Z Fold 7. Based on the leaked dummy units, the Ultra model may prioritize continuity, featuring proportions that closely resemble its predecessor while potentially focusing on hardware upgrades and premium features rather than a major exterior redesign.

The renders also hint at at least two color options for the upcoming foldables, including white and a light blue finish. Although Samsung has yet to confirm any details about the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series, the latest leak suggests the company could be pursuing distinct design philosophies for its standard and Ultra variants, giving buyers more choice in both form factor and user experience.
