Samsung opens pre-orders for its most versatile Galaxy foldable line-up yet

Samsung Electronics South Africa has officially opened pre-orders for its latest Galaxy Z series, introducing a new generation of foldables designed to fit more lifestyles and personalities.

Pre-orders for the eighth-generation Galaxy Z series are open from 22 July to 12 August 2026. With the arrival of the Galaxy Z Fold8, Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, and Galaxy Z Flip8, Samsung is expanding the foldable experience. The line-up offers something for everyone, from users who want to discover more on a larger screen, to power users who demand ultimate productivity, and those who see their smartphone as an extension of their personal style.

The newest addition to the line-up, the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, brings Samsung’s highest standard of performance and innovation to its most advanced foldable design yet. With an expansive 8-inch main display, advanced camera capabilities, and long-lasting battery life, it is built for users who want a powerful workspace they can take anywhere, packaged in Samsung’s slimmest Z Fold design to date.

For those looking for a device that moves naturally from everyday interactions to deeper immersion, the Galaxy Z Fold8 offers a reimagined form factor designed for everything from quick moments on the cover screen to reading, viewing, and gaming on the expansive main display.

Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z Flip8 continues to redefine what a smartphone can be. Built for self-expression and quick, intuitive interactions, its flexible form factor and reimagined FlexWindow bring information, creativity, and Galaxy AI closer to everyday moments.

Together, the new line-up reinforces Samsung’s vision that there is no single way to experience a foldable. For added peace of mind, customers can also enjoy comprehensive protection through Samsung Care+, featuring professional repairs for accidental damage, extended warranty coverage, and expert support. Customers who purchase a new Galaxy foldable on Samsung.com and enrol in a monthly Samsung Care+ plan can save up to 25% on their monthly premiums.
