Later this summer, it's widely expected that Samsung will launch three foldable phones: the already existing Galaxy Z Flip 8 and Galaxy Z Fold 8, plus the rumored Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide. Previous rumors have suggested that Samsung might go with an "Ultra" moniker for the new foldable that is supposed to rival Apple's iPhone Ultra, which should debut this September.The Ultra name was seemingly confirmed by the Japanese publication Sumahodigest, which spotted the name in a Bluetooth SIG certification listing. The listing reportedly features five different Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra models.As for variants, the Z Fold 7 comes in three storage sizes: 256GB, 512GB and 1TB and 12GB or 16GB of RAM. However, with RAMageddon affecting memory prices, it's likely Samsung won't have as many storage or RAM options.The experimental Galaxy Z Trifold only comes with 16GB of RAM and either 512GB or 1TB storage. This seems more probably for the Ultra model.However, it appears those different model numbers are for domestic mobile carriers in Japan. One model is an unlocked version.Based on this confirmation, the lineup at the next Galaxy Unpacked should consist of the Galaxy Z Flip 8, Galaxy Z Fold 8, and the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra. I will note that the Japanese model names appear similar to one we should see in the US: SM-F971U.What's next?
