For users seeking zero compromise, the Z Fold8 Ultra introduces Samsung’s premier hardware standard to foldables for the first time.

  • Record-Breaking Slim Profile: At just 4.1 mm thin unfolded and weighing 215 grams, it is Samsung’s slimmest book-style foldable to date.
  • Massive Canvas: Features an 8.0-inch main display designed for serious multitasking, split-view workflows, and creative applications.
