Leaks revealed that the wide‑screen Galaxy Z Fold8 with 256 GB will cost $1,899 in the United States, while the premium Z Fold8 Ultra will launch at $2,099 for its base variant. Samsung is reviewing the pricing before next week’s launch.

Both models will house the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy chip, a 5.5‑inch cover display, a 7.6‑inch inner screen, and a dual rear camera array on the Fold8. The Ultra will add a 5,000‑mAh battery, a triple rear camera system featuring a 200‑MP primary sensor, and a design echoing the Fold7.

The company has scheduled its next Galaxy Unpacked event for July 22 in London, where the devices will be unveiled. The price hike positions Samsung directly against rivals like Apple’s Fold and Google’s Pixel Fold, offering high performance but at a premium.

These moves underscore Samsung’s strategy to sustain its premium foldable niche, forcing consumers to weigh cutting‑edge specs against steep price tags.
