Attention Samsung fans!
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today unveiled the new Galaxy Z series, its most complete lineup yet, designed to expand foldables to a wider audience. The lineup introduces Galaxy Z Fold8, a fresh and exciting form factor that provides a new kind of foldable
experience built around the way people explore, discover and immerse themselves in their favorite content.
The lineup also includes Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, which brings Galaxy’s renowned Ultra standard to
foldables with maximum productivity and content creation in a larger workspace. Galaxy Z Flip8 —
the sleekest one yet — was built for expression and quick interaction on the go. Built on seven
generations of foldable innovation and consumer insight, the new Galaxy Z series gives users more
choice than ever, with three distinct experiences engineered to fit different needs.
Galaxy AI has been optimized 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 Fold8 Ultra, while 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,” said TM Roh, Chief Executive Officer,
President and Head of the Device eXperience (DX) 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 All-New Galaxy Z Fold8: A New Galaxy Fold Experience for Everyday Immersion
Galaxy Z Fold8 is reimagined for users who want a foldable that feels natural in the moments when
curiosity turns into deeper discovery. Fold8 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.
With intuitive display ratios and long-lasting performance, Fold8 makes it easier to get the most out of
the content, stories and ideas that matter.
Galaxy Z Fold8’s display ratios are designed around the way people naturally consume content
throughout the day. By adapting the screen to the content, Fold8 creates a more immersive
experience whether users are browsing, watching, reading or gaming. At just 201 g, 1 Fold8 is
Samsung’s lightest Galaxy Z Fold yet. 2 Despite its lightweight design, it combines the Snapdragon® 8
Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform for Galaxy 3 with a larger 4,800 mAh battery, 4 delivering smooth, responsive performance and lasting power so users can stay immersed longer.
● When folded, the 10:16 cover screen 5 feels familiar and comfortable for the short moments
people return to most often, such as messaging, social updates, browsing and short-form
video.
● When unfolded, the 4:3 main display 6 creates a larger canvas that helps users lose
themselves in games and films.
● When rotated, the same display ratio becomes naturally suited to reading, giving users a
more comfortable way to settle into articles, e-books and long-form content without carrying
another device.
● Together, these display ratios are designed around the way people naturally consume
content, helping Fold8 feel more immersive whether users are quickly checking in or settling
in for longer sessions.
Security and Privacy Built Into the Experience
As AI becomes more personal and agentic, trust continues to be a critical foundation of the
experience. Users need to know how their data is used, understand what AI is doing on their behalf
and stay in control of the choices that shape their experience. With the new Galaxy Z series,
Samsung builds that trust into the device from the start, keeping personal data secure while giving
users transparency, choice and control over how their information is used.
Samsung Knox protects every Galaxy device from the chip up, with a multi-layered approach that
includes on-device personalization and user-controlled cloud processing, as well as future-ready
protections such as ecosystem-wide protection through Samsung Knox Matrix. For on-device AI,
Personal Data Engine (PDE) enables context-aware, personalized AI experiences. To protect PDE,
Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection (KEEP) creates encrypted, app-specific storage environments,
while Knox Vault adds a tamper-resistant physical layer for sensitive information. 18 These system-level
protections work together with Advanced Intelligence settings and Personal Data Intelligence to help
users control how AI features manage and use personal data.
One UI 9 also introduces a new AI Assistant Activity dashboard, giving users a centralized view of AI
automations running on their behalf. Instead of moving across multiple apps and services to
understand what happened, users can review AI actions in one place and navigate directly to the
relevant agent 19 for additional context and settings. The new Galaxy Z series also brings enhanced
Privacy Alerts that proactively notify users about potential privacy risks, including unnecessary
attempts to access background permissions, helping them respond before those risks become
invisible.
These updates build on Galaxy’s existing security and privacy portfolio which includes Auto Blocker,
Theft Protection, Private Sharing, Secure Wi-Fi and more. Together, these advancements help users
take a more active role in managing personal data and AI activities, with transparency, clearer
choices and stronger protections at the core of their experience — helping ensure that more personal
AI experiences remain grounded in trust.
