Samsung has expanded its foldable smartphone lineup with the Galaxy Z Fold8, Z Fold8 Ultra, and Z Flip8, featuring significant hardware and software enhancements. The new devices incorporate a redesigned display structure that utilizes a titanium plate and a thin titanium-alloy film, which the company claims effectively eliminates the visible crease found in previous generations. The Z Fold8 and Z Fold8 Ultra feature a 4:3 aspect ratio, moving away from the square-like displays of their predecessors. All three models are powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor and offer increased screen resolutions for improved clarity and color accuracy. The devices also integrate advanced agentic AI capabilities, allowing for automated task management such as hotel booking and document summarization through NotebookLM. The Z Fold8 Ultra stands out as the thinnest model in the series, measuring 4.1mm when opened. Additionally, the updated Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and Galaxy Watch 9 include pro-level health tracking features, such as FDA-approved sleep apnea detection, and offer increased peak brightness of 5,000 nits.
