Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 and Ultra US Pricing Leaks Ahead of Launch
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Series: Pricing Details Leak Ahead of Unpacked
The anticipation for Samsung’s next generation of foldable smartphones is hitting a fever pitch. While we’ve already had a decent look at what these devices might cost in European and South Korean markets, fresh intel has just dropped regarding the expected US pricing for both the wide-format Galaxy Z Fold8 and the powerhouse Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra.
According to the latest industry reports, the standard Galaxy Z Fold8, featuring that eye-catching wider screen design, is set to hit US shelves with a starting price of $1,899 for the 256GB base model.
Going Premium with the Ultra
If you have your eye on the top-tier Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, be prepared to pay a premium. Word on the street is that it will carry a $100 markup over its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Fold7. The base 256GB configuration for the Ultra is expected to start at $2,099. That said, it’s worth noting that Samsung is reportedly still putting the finishing touches on their final pricing strategy before the official reveal next week.
What to Expect Under the Hood
Performance shouldn’t be an issue for either device. Both models have been confirmed to pack the lightning-fast Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy chipset. Beyond the processor, here is how the two stack up based on current leaks:
- Galaxy Z Fold8: Expected to feature a 5.5-inch cover display, a expansive 7.6-inch inner screen, a dual-camera setup on the back, and a 4,800mAh battery.
- Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra: Likely to sport a more robust 5,000mAh battery and a high-end triple-camera system, including a massive 200MP primary sensor, all wrapped in a frame reminiscent of the Fold7.
Mark your calendars for July 22. Samsung is set to host its latest Galaxy Unpacked event in London, where we’ll finally see the Fold8, the Fold8 Ultra, and the new Galaxy Z Flip8 in the flesh. Stay tuned—it’s shaping up to be a big day for foldable tech fans.
