Samsung’s new generation of foldable cell phones, the Galaxy Z line, is about to have its biggest expansion. Although visual concepts and renderings have emerged previously, an extensive leak of product codes (SKUs) from the DigitalCitizen portal has brought Samsung’s full factory list to light.
The main point revealed by this leak is not restricted to updating the already known models, but rather confirming the different versions of the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra. For the first time, the South Korean giant will introduce the Ultra name on its large-format foldable devices, establishing a clear technical and commercial differentiation within its main category. This strategic decision by Samsung signals a move to solidify the Fold Ultra’s position as a cutting-edge device, rivaling the S Ultra line in terms of innovation and capacity, and indicating a search for new levels of performance in the foldable segment.
- The Galaxy Z Flip 8 (SM-F776B) will continue to be a lifestyle and fashion-focused option aimed at a younger audience. Regarding internal storage, the company maintained two simple configurations: 256 GB and 512 GB. The 1 TB version will not be available for the Flip format in this generation. Colors that have been leaked for this model include:
- Cream
- Graphite
- Mint
- Pink
- The Galaxy Z Fold 8 (SM-F971B) will be the main choice for those looking for high productivity, without necessarily opting for the highest price in the new Ultra category. To serve both business users and content consumers, storage options comprise three levels: 256 GB, 512 GB and 1 TB. Its official shades feature a more discreet and elegant design:
- Cream
- Graphite
- Lavender
- Pistachio
The big highlight of this leak is, without a doubt, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra (SM-F976B), which arrives with a new and significant number. Samsung will offer the same storage options as the traditional model, making the high-end device available in 256 GB, 512 GB and 1 TB configurations.
- To create a clear visual distinction for the high-end model, Samsung will focus on a more refined and discreet industrial design, with deep metallic tones that refer to the renowned visual identity of the Galaxy S Ultra series:
- Cream
- Graphite
- Green Shadow
- Violet Shadow
The way the commercial listings were organized clearly reveals Samsung’s strategy for this new generation of devices. The change in numbering between the standard Fold chassis (SM-F971B) and the Ultra (SM-F976B) suggests that the hardware changes will be much deeper than simple aesthetic modifications. This indicates a substantial investment in engineering to justify the new category, promising innovations that go beyond the surface.
The technological market predicts that the Ultra architecture will bring a significant reduction in the thickness of the housing, aiming to compete with rival Asian models. In addition, improved proportions are expected for the external display and a main camera system directly inspired by the Galaxy S Ultra line, raising the photographic standard.
The decision not to include the 1TB storage option in the Flip 8, while it is widely present in the Fold family, reinforces the South Korean company’s view on where the true mobile processing power lies and the greatest demand for high data capacity. This indicates that Fold models are seen as more robust and essential computing platforms for users who require more space.
