Samsung Electronics will unveil its flagship Galaxy Z8 wide‑fold lineup at a
July 22 event in London, with models expected to include Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra,
Galaxy Z Fold8 and Galaxy Z Flip8; the series is slated to go on sale on Aug. 7.
Electronic Times reports higher component costs could push prices up to
KRW200,000 above the prior generation — reported prices: Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra
256GB KRW2,570,000 (≈CNY11,619), Galaxy Z Fold8 KRW2,270,000 (≈CNY10,262),

signaling an intensifying competitive landscape for wide‑fold smartphones into
H2 2026.
