Samsung has announced its newest foldable Galaxy Z phones and updated smartwatches at the company's July 2026 Unpacked event. The new lineup, featuring the Galaxy Z Flip 8 and Galaxy Z Fold 8, is scheduled for release on August 7th.
The company appears to be targeting consumers in the US with these latest foldable devices, although market competition is anticipated, particularly with rumors of an upcoming foldable from Apple. While the Z Flip 8 and Fold 8 include some design refinements and new AI features, significant advancements over last year's models are not widespread, with the exception of the Z Fold 8.
The Z Fold 8 represents the most substantial update in the new series, offering enhancements that differentiate it from the previous year's Z Fold 7. The Fold 8 Ultra is also part of the lineup, positioned as a premium option. The Z Flip 8 continues the trend of the popular clamshell-style foldable.
Alongside the new phone models, Samsung also introduced updated versions of its Galaxy Watch smartwatches. Further details regarding pricing and market availability are expected to be disclosed closer to the launch date.
