While I’d rather have a smaller phone, Samsung is probably making a bigger Z Fold 8 with the same features as the Galaxy S26 Ultra and more. calling it the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra because of that. Rumors are mixed around what Samsung’s plan for the ‘Ultra’ moniker on this phone actually means, but the company is likely to bring some of the best hardware features from the S26 Ultra.
Hopefully this means the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra gets the S26 Ultra’s camera hardware. More specifically, I’d like to see a 200MP main camera and a 5x telephoto ALoP camera. The highlight of the Galaxy S26 Ultra camera for me. The Z Fold series has never been a camera powerhouse, but perhaps this year’s Ultra entry will finally change that for the better.
I am something no Looking forward to the Galaxy Z Fold 8’s smaller size, the camera hardware has been rumored. Samsung is said to be equipped with a wider Z Fold 8 just a pair of cameras behind. More specifically, it’s a 50MP primary camera and a 50MP ultra-wide camera. Not the 2026 flagship’s great-sounding features.
That means no phone camera, which is one of them My favorite ways to get great photos From the Galaxy S26 Ultra. To make matters worse, the 50MP sensor isn’t exactly state-of-the-art and will most likely be an update to the sensors Samsung has been using in its Z Fold line for years. I hope the official announcement surprised me too much, because this could be a black mark on the Z Fold 8’s spec sheet.
while remembering the original Pixel Fold‘s design, I wanted to focus on how apps behave in the wider aspect ratio of the phone. Apps on the external screen were shorter and wider than a regular Android phone. It seemed funny at first, but I quickly got the hang of it because it was easier to access everything with one hand.
Things got even better when turning on the phone as apps opened automatically landscape tablet orientation. This is a big deal because most modern book-style folding apps like the Galaxy Z Fold 7 still open up as a giant phone app, not in tablet format like they should.
Google did a lot of work in Android 12L to fix this problem, but a folding tablet that looks like a landscape tablet works better because it doesn’t require custom app-level code to fix things. I hope the Z Fold 8 works this way, as it should have a wider aspect ratio.
There is definitely something we can expect from Samsung’s future watches Blood pressure trends. After years of not having access to blood pressure tracking features, Samsung is finally bringing the capability to the US and is taking things a step further by launching Blood Pressure Trends to replace Vascular Charge. Blood Pressure Trends “will check your blood pressure periodically to show a trend over time. It will also give you tips to support healthy habits.”
Samsung says the next Galaxy Watch is built with “completely new internals,” hinting at an improved BioActive health sensor. This could hint at more accurate health monitoring and fitness tracking, but it could also mean a new chipset. Samsung is expected to use Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon Wear Elitethis will provide faster performance and charging while enhancing the AI capabilities of the device. The Watch 9 and Ultra 2 will likely be among the first to feature the new chip, so we’re excited to see how they perform!
There is a Samsung has already started to make fun Here’s what we can expect from its new Galaxy Watches, including “real-time AI-powered insights.” It’s no surprise that Samsung wants to put more AI into its watches, but I wonder what the company has in store for the Watch 9 and Ultra 2. Google Health’s AI Personal Health Coach? Hopefully this doesn’t mean we’ll need a subscription.
Along with renderings, The specifications of the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 have also been leaked. It is reported that the folding passport-type model will have a 5.4-5.5-inch cover screen, and the internal display will be 7.6 inches. In terms of design, it is said to be only 5.5mm thick when folded and 9.7mm when folded.

In terms of colors, you can expect Cream, Graphite and Lavender, as well as a Pistachio option that will be a Samsung.com exclusive.
As usual, renders of Samsung’s new foldable phones have already leaked ahead of the launch, giving us an idea of what to expect from this new form factor. The leaked images show that it will be completely different from the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra. Naturally, it will be shorter and wider when unfolded, mimicking a true mini tablet form factor. However, several interesting points should be noted. First, Samsung isn’t giving up its sharp-edged design for this foldable, and we don’t yet know if the wider bezel display will fit too much in your palms. Second, you can see that there are only two cameras on the back, compared to the Z Fold 8 Ultra, which is said to sport a triple camera module.
