Samsung Builds on Seven Generations of Foldable Leadership as its Galaxy Z8 Series Opens for Pre-Order in the UAE

Samsung Gulf Electronics today announced that the all-new Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Fold8 and Flip8 are now available for pre-order across the UAE. Built on seven generations of foldable innovation, Samsung's latest Galaxy Z Series introduces its most complete foldable lineup yet, offering three distinct experiences designed around the way people work, create, discover and express themselves every day. 

Leading the new lineup is the all-new Galaxy Z Fold8, introducing Samsung's lightest and most refined Galaxy Z Fold yet. Designed around the way people naturally consume content, its wider, more immersive display ratio transforms everything from browsing and reading to streaming, gaming and social media into a richer, more cinematic experience, while maintaining the versatility and productivity that define the Galaxy Z Fold Series.

Alongside it, the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra offers the ultimate foldable experience for users seeking maximum productivity, combining Samsung's largest foldable workspace, professional-grade creativity tools and powerful Galaxy AI capabilities.

Fadi Abu Shamat, Vice President and Head of the Mobile eXperience Division at Samsung Gulf Electronics, said: “For seven generations, Samsung has led the evolution of foldable smartphones, continually pushing the boundaries of design and innovation. Today, we're taking that journey even further with our most complete foldable lineup yet.

Whether customers are looking for immersive entertainment, Ultra-level productivity or a device built for creativity and self-expression, the new Galaxy Z Series delivers a foldable experience designed around the way people live today. Combined with Galaxy AI, we're making these experiences more intuitive, more personal and more connected than ever before."

Galaxy Z Fold8: Built for Discovery

The all-new Galaxy Z Fold8 has been reimagined for users who want a foldable that feels natural throughout the day. Designed around the way people browse, watch, read and discover content, it seamlessly transitions from quick interactions on the cover screen to immersive experiences on the main display.

At just 201g, Galaxy Z Fold8 is Samsung's lightest Galaxy Z Fold yet, featuring a wider cover display and redesigned aspect ratio that make everyday tasks feel more natural, whether browsing the web, reading articles, streaming content or staying connected on social media. Combined with Galaxy AI, the larger immersive display unlocks smarter multitasking and richer entertainment experiences throughout the day.

Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra: Maximum Productivity

Designed for those who demand the very best from their smartphone, Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra combines Samsung's slimmest Fold design with an expansive 8-inch main display, a professional-grade 200MP main camera, advanced AI-powered creativity tools and all-day performance.

Powered by Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy, Fold8 Ultra delivers effortless multitasking, intelligent workflows and advanced content creation, giving users a true Ultra experience in Samsung's most capable foldable yet. 

Galaxy Z Flip8: Pocket-Sized AI

Galaxy Z Flip8 brings Samsung's most intuitive Flip experience yet, combining a refined design with an AI-native FlexWindow that keeps personalized information, actions and insights just a glance away.

Featuring an upgraded 50MP camera, enhanced FlexCam experiences and Galaxy AI-powered photography tools, Galaxy Z Flip8 makes it easier than ever to capture, create and share life's everyday moments, while its compact design slips effortlessly into any pocket or bag. 

Galaxy Watch Ultra2: Built for Peak Performance

Galaxy Watch Ultra2 is Samsung's most powerful and advanced Galaxy Watch yet, built for high-performance users who demand precision tracking in extreme conditions. It features a class-leading 800mAh battery, the biggest ever on a Galaxy Watch, paired with the brightest display ever on a Galaxy Watch at up to 5,000 nits, ensuring clear visibility from snowy peaks to open water. 

Its shock-resistant titanium casing is rated for professional diving, while dedicated tracking modes such as Trail Running and a new Nutrition Alert feature give athletes real-time guidance on terrain, elevation and hydration. Despite the larger battery, the Galaxy Watch Ultra2 is 12% thinner and its band 25% lighter than the previous generation, delivering all-day comfort without compromising rugged durability.

Galaxy Watch9: Everyday Wellness, All-Day Comfort

Galaxy Watch9 is designed as an everyday health companion, built around continuous, comfortable wear. It features a lightweight yet durable aluminum casing that preserves Galaxy Watch's signature cushion silhouette, paired with a wide range of interchangeable, soft-touch bands for unmatched all-day comfort. 

Powered by the Snapdragon Wear Elite platform, Watch9 delivers a lag-free health monitoring experience, backed by an efficient 390mAh battery for around-the-clock tracking and a 3,000-nit display for effortless readability at any time of day.
