Samsung’s three foldable models—Galaxy Z Fold8, Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, and Galaxy Z Flip8—surfaced in South Korea before their official reveal. A Reddit user posted a photo from a Samsung retail outlet, showing the Fold8 front‑centered with the Flip8 on the left and the Ultra on the right. An on‑site employee allegedly confirmed the units as unreleased models.

The Fold8 appears in a semi‑unfolded state, featuring a two‑part hinge that incorporates a black central element. Design critics are curious how the hinge will reduce the screen crease that plagued earlier iterations. Samsung has not released details on the hinge’s mechanics or durability.

Pricing tiers begin at $1,899 for the 256 GB Fold8 in the U.S., rising to $2,099 for the Ultra. In South Korea, the Fold8 launches at KRW 2,278,000 ($1,499) and the Ultra at KRW 2,577,000 ($1,685). The Flip8 is priced at KRW 1,683,000 ($1,099).

All three devices will debut at Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked on July 22 in London, where consumers will see the new hinge, display, and software updates. The leak underscores Samsung's aggressive strategy to regain foldable market share after the Fold3’s lukewarm reception.
