Samsung’s highly anticipated trio of foldable smartphones has surfaced ahead of their launch in South Korea. A Reddit user posted an image showcasing the Galaxy Z Fold8 front and center, flanked by the Z Flip8 on the left and the Z Fold8 Ultra on the right. An on-site store employee reportedly confirmed that these are indeed the unreleased foldables displayed at a Samsung retail store.

This marks our first glimpse of the Fold8 in a semi-unfolded state. It appears to feature a two-part hinge with a black element at its center. The functionality and potential benefits of this hinge, particularly in reducing the crease on the folding screen, remain to be seen.
Recent leaks suggest that the Galaxy Z Fold8 will start at $1,899 in the U.S. for the 256GB storage variant, while the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra is expected to retail for $2,099. In South Korea, the Galaxy Z Fold8 may have a starting price of KRW 2,278,000 ($1,499), while the Fold8 Ultra could be priced at KRW 2,577,000 ($1,685). The Galaxy Z Flip8 is anticipated to be priced at KRW 1,683,000 ($1,099).
All three devices are set to be unveiled on July 22 at Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event in London.
