Samsung might start taking pre-reservations for the new Galaxy Z foldables tomorrow
Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold8 and Flip8 Pre-Reservations Kick Off Tomorrow
If you’ve been eyeing Samsung’s next generation of foldables, mark your calendar. According to tech insider Abhishek Yadav, the pre-reservation campaign for the highly anticipated Galaxy Z Fold8, Z Fold8 Ultra, Z Flip8, and the latest Galaxy Watches is set to begin tomorrow, July 8.
This timing lines up perfectly with Samsung’s traditional rollout strategy. Just as the company opened pre-reservations for the Galaxy S26 series exactly two weeks before its public debut in February, the upcoming July 22 launch date for these new foldables follows the exact same two-week window. It’s a classic Samsung move designed to build anticipation before the main event.
The evolution of the Galaxy Z Fold series
Performance is set to get a significant boost, too. Samsung recently confirmed that the Galaxy Z Fold8 and its “Ultra” counterpart will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy. The Galaxy Z Flip8 is also joining the high-performance club, though there’s a regional catch: while some markets will enjoy the Snapdragon chip, others—specifically Europe and South Korea—will see the device equipped with the Exynos 2600. Additionally, the new Galaxy Watch Ultra2 is expected to run on the powerful Snapdragon Wear Elite platform.
Why should you care about pre-reservations? Beyond just getting a reminder set for the livestream, these campaigns are typically a great way to snag early-bird incentives. Samsung often sweetens the deal with exclusive discounts, bonus credit, or other perks for those who sign up early to express interest.
If you’re ready to jump in, keep an eye on Samsung’s official channels starting tomorrow to secure your spot and see what kind of preorder bonuses are waiting for you.
