Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Fold8 and Flip8: What’s Changed and What We Know About the Launch in Serbia

Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra: A Workspace That Fits in Your Pocket

The Fold8 Ultra takes on the most ambitious role in the new series. It is the first Galaxy Z foldable to carry the Ultra name, and its 8-inch main display is designed for situations when showing a single app is no longer enough.

Multi Window divides the screen between several apps. A chat can appear alongside the calendar and a document beside a set of notes, while source materials remain visible as the user prepares a report.

Now Nudge adds AI suggestions to this workflow. The feature recognises the context of a conversation and proposes the next action. If a meeting is mentioned in a message, for example, it can offer to add the event to the calendar and open both apps side by side.

Gemini Notebook works as a single space for documents, notes, images and audio recordings. It can produce a concise meeting summary and then turn the same material into a report, presentation, infographic or audio overview. The original files and generated output remain in view throughout the process.

The Ultra’s capabilities are not limited to work. It has the most advanced camera system in the series, combining a 200 MP main camera with a 50 MP ultrawide camera for wide shots and macro photography, plus a telephoto camera with 3× optical zoom. It can record 8K video using the professional APV codec, providing more flexibility in post-production. Cine LUT, meanwhile, allows colour profiles to be applied directly on the phone.

Despite the large display, the Fold8 Ultra is 4.1 mm thick when unfolded. Its 5,000 mAh battery supports 45 W charging, while an expanded graphite cooling system is designed for longer multitasking and content-editing sessions.

Ultimately, the Ultra moves not just a single task but an entire workflow onto a foldable smartphone from the first note to a finished report, presentation or video.

Galaxy Z Fold8: From Short Videos to Books With a Turn of the Screen

The Fold8 is not trying to offer the largest possible screen. Instead, it adapts its screen format to the content. When folded, its 10:16 cover display works well for messages, social feeds and short videos. Once unfolded, the 4:3 format gives films and games more room, while rotating the device creates a 3:4 format that is better suited to websites, documents and e-books.

At 201 g, the Fold8 is Samsung’s lightest Galaxy Z Fold to date. For a model intended for both quick interactions on the move and longer reading or viewing sessions, this is a meaningful part of the everyday experience.

My FanCam is an AI tool for automatically reframing existing video. The user selects a person in the recording, after which the system tracks them and adapts the framing to the chosen aspect ratio. One clip can therefore be turned into vertical and horizontal versions without manually reframing every scene.

Dual Recording captures the main scene and the person filming at the same time. The cover display provides a preview, allowing the person in front of the camera to check the framing before recording starts.

That makes the larger Fold format a fitting choice for Ned Leeds. In Spider-Man: Brand New Day, he uses a Galaxy Z Fold and a Galaxy Watch while trying to track down Spider-Man. The larger screen becomes a mobile hub for finding and working with information.

Galaxy Z Flip8: More Possibilities While the Phone Is Closed

The Flip8 takes the opposite approach. Instead of offering a large workspace, it makes the compact format more useful. The key feature is its 4.1-inch FlexWindow a cover display for checking messages, photos, calendar events and the weather, as well as opening supported apps.

Now Brief brings appointments, notifications and other timely information together in personalised cards. Gemini can also be launched directly from FlexWindow using voice commands or the side button. Some automated actions are not yet available in every country.

Once unfolded, the Flip8 becomes a compact shooting tool. Flex Mode allows the phone to stand at an angle without a separate tripod. Camcorder Grip and Zoom Rocker make it easier to control the camera and zoom with one hand, while Super Steady and Horizontal Lock stabilise the picture and help keep the horizon level when filming on the move.

Dual Recording captures the main scene and the person behind the camera at the same time. Flip Shot customises FlexWindow for mirror selfies, Mirror View provides a natural-looking preview, and Photo Assist edits images using written instructions.

The Galaxy Z Flip’s role alongside Spider-Man therefore feels like a natural fit. The compact format suits a phone designed for quick actions, spontaneous shooting and one-handed control.

Which AI Features Will Be Available in Serbia?

At launch, users in Serbia will not have access to every feature shown during the international presentation. Photo Assist already supports Serbian, while Now Brief does not yet.

There are regional restrictions as well. Gemini’s automated actions, which allow AI to work with several apps in sequence, are initially available only in the US and South Korea, and only in English and Korean. Now Nudge does not yet support Serbian either, while the list of compatible apps varies by region. As a result, some new AI use cases may become available in Serbia later.

What Has Changed Inside the Foldable Displays?

The changes go beyond use cases and software capabilities. Samsung has also redesigned the construction of its foldable displays.

Flex Titanium combines a titanium-alloy film with a reinforced titanium plate. According to the company, the new system strengthens the display, helps it withstand pressure and impacts, and makes the crease less noticeable.

Changes to the hinge and display tension should make unfolding feel smoother and help reduce the thickness of the devices. Independent testing will show how noticeable the difference is in everyday use.
