Samsung has introduced the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold8 and Galaxy Z Flip8 in India, expanding its foldable smartphone portfolio with thinner designs, upgraded cameras and deeper Galaxy AI integration. Pre-orders for all three devices opened on July 22, 2026, and Samsung says the new foldables are manufactured in India.
The Fold8 Ultra sits at the top of the range, while the standard Fold8 offers much of the book-style foldable experience at a lower price. The Flip8 remains the compact clamshell option for buyers who prefer a conventional phone-sized device that folds into a smaller footprint.
