The rumors haven’t left much to the imagination, but Samsung has unfurled its 2026 foldable lineup today. There are three models for the first time in Samsung’s eight-gen foldable family, including the top-of-the-line Z Fold 8 Ultra. That phone is the successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7<\/a>, but the Z Fold 8 is new\u2014the company’s first wide-body foldable designed for media over multitasking. And then there’s a new, thinner flip phone, plus a pair of smartwatches.<\/p>\n

You can preorder Samsung’s new hardware today, but the component shortage has made these already spendy product lines more expensive this year. Even the Z Flip 8 is now well over a grand, and the Ultra costs almost twice as much.<\/p>\n
