Samsung don finally confirm say dem go hold Galaxy Unpacked event for London on July 22, where dem go likely announce new foldable devices. The main star wey everybody dey expect na the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, wey go follow the Z Fold 7 wey bin impress many people last year.
The Z Fold 7 bin sell for $1,999, wey be $100 increase from the previous model. But with current market conditions and RAMageddon, the new foldable fit cost even more. Some reports suggest another $100 hike, but nothing don confirm yet.
One confusing matter be say the device go likely carry the name “Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra,” while the regular Z Fold 8 name go go to another rumored foldable wey Samsung dey plan. Multiple official certifications don refer to the device as Z Fold 8 Ultra, so we dey use that name for now.
Leaks from prominent tipster Sonny Dickson show dummy units wey reveal three different devices: one wey look like Z Fold 7, one wey look like Z Flip 7, and a third wey be completely new design. This new device, wey some dey call “Wide Fold,” get wider shape wey go compete with Apple’s rumored iPhone Fold, wey also dey expected later this year.
For size and weight, one Korean report say the Z Fold 8 Ultra fit be even lighter, possibly around 200g. The thinness of the Z Fold 7 bin be major selling point, so Samsung dey try improve am further.
Inside the phone, the same Korean report hint say Samsung fit upgrade the battery from 4,400mAh to 5,000mAh. The battery life for Z Fold 7 bin dey one of the few disappointments, so this change go be welcome. The new chipset likely go be a Snapdragon processor, similar to the one wey dey inside Galaxy S26 series. Charging speed fit increase to 45W.
For camera, Dutch outlet Galaxy Club report say Samsung fit improve the rear camera array. The Z Fold 7 get 200MP main, 12MP ultrawide, and 10MP telephoto. The new model go keep 200MP but raise ultrawide to 50MP and telephoto to 12MP. This should give sharper images, plus new AI editing tricks.
The Z Fold 8 Ultra reveal still dey weeks away, but we don get basic idea of wetin to expect, even if the name dey cause confusion.
