The Galaxy Z Fold 8 appears to be noticeably shorter and wider than the Ultra model in both open and closed forms. In the open state, it looks like a tablet with a possible 4:3 aspect ratio. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra has a taller and narrower design similar to the previous Galaxy Z Fold 7.

On the rear, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 has a dual camera unit, while the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra boasts a triple camera setup. This suggests that Samsung may position the Ultra as its top-tier flagship. The rear cameras are arranged in a pill-shaped vertically placed module, and an LED flash is placed below the camera island.

Samsung has yet to announce any details about the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. However, a recent report indicated that the foldable flagships will be launched early in London at a Galaxy Unpacked event on July 22. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 is expected to weigh around 201g, while the Ultra version could weigh 210g.

The Galaxy Z Fold 8 is tipped to come with a 5.4-inch cover display, while the Ultra version is rumoured to retain the 6.5-inch external display of the Galaxy Z Fold 7. The duo could run on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset.
