This Is Why Samsung Built the Galaxy Z Fold 8, a Passport-Sized Foldable that Sets ‘the New Standard for Viewing Content’
The writer wants Samsung to improve battery life, charging speed and Qi2 magnet support, while also upgrading the cover glass and secondary cameras.
- On Wednesday, July 22, 2026, Samsung officially unveiled the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra at its Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event.
- The standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a shorter, wider passport-style shape, while the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra retains the familiar narrow TV remote design of its predecessor.
- Both models feature 4,800mAh silicon-carbon batteries and 45W wired charging, though reviewers argue the Ultra needs higher-resolution secondary camera sensors to justify its premium price.
- Unlike competitors Google and Motorola, Samsung omitted built-in Qi2 magnet support in the new lineup, frustrating reviewers who cite the technology as now standard on flagship devices.
- Positioning the Galaxy Z Fold 8 as the world's lightest booklike foldable, Samsung aims to capture the premium market despite ongoing feedback about crease visibility and hardware refinements.
