It's summertime, which means it's time for Samsung's new foldable phones. The company has confirmed July 22 for the next Galaxy Unpacked event in London, where we are expected to see the new generation of foldables, including the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series.I'm not sure about you, but for the first time in years, I haven't been all that excited about the new Galaxy Z Fold(s). Samsung already addressed most of our long-standing complaints with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 last year, bringing in a wider cover display and a thinner design.Add RAMageddon to the mix, and we can expect these new foldables to be priced sky-high and well out of our reach (unless you act fast, reserve your unit now and save up to $1,230 on your Galaxy Z Fold 8 pre-order).That said, a few interesting Galaxy Z Fold 8 leaks over the past few weeks have pulled my attention back toward Samsung's foldables. I spent the last couple of months ignoring most of the Z Fold 8 rumors, but these are the ones that finally got my attention.Samsung is breaking its one-book-style foldable-a-year pattern

There's the base model for people who don't want to spend too much and prefer a more compact form factor, and then there's the Galaxy S26 Ultra for those who want the best of everything, with a large screen and an S Pen.With the Galaxy Z Fold series, things have been a little different because Samsung has only ever launched a single book-style foldable each year and called it a day. That's changing in 2026, though, as Samsung is finally rumored to debut not one but two book-style foldables this year.Alongside the standard Galaxy Z Fold 7 successor, Samsung is said to be launching a new foldable aimed squarely at the iPhone Ultra launching later this year. This second device will reportedly have a different form factor, closer to a passport-style shape, with a less-tall but wider display.Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips.
