Galaxy Z Fold 8, Fold 8 Ultra, and Flip 8 prices may have leaked

Samsung’s next Galaxy Unpacked event is expected to take place on July 22, where the company will unveil the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, and Galaxy Z Flip 8, along with the Galaxy Watch 9 and Watch Ultra 2. We’ve already seen a steady stream of leaks covering everything from design changes to new features, but one of the biggest unanswered questions has been how much these foldables will cost. Now, a fresh leak may have filled in that blank.

According to WinFuture, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 could start at €1,999 for the 256GB model, while the new Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra may begin at €2,199 with the same storage. The Fold 8 Ultra is expected to sit at the very top of Samsung’s lineup, offering more RAM and storage than the standard model. That’s the kind of upgrade that typically comes with a higher asking price. The Galaxy Z Flip 8, meanwhile, is tipped to start at €1,299 for its 256GB variant.

The Galaxy Z Fold 8 is perhaps the most interesting of the three phones. Rumors suggest Samsung is introducing a wider design that should make the outer display feel more like a regular smartphone’s. If you’ve ever found previous Galaxy Fold cover screens a little too narrow for comfortably typing out messages or browsing the web, this could be one of the biggest quality-of-life upgrades the series has seen in years.

The same report also includes pricing for Samsung’s upcoming smartwatches. The Galaxy Watch 9 could start at €409 for the 40mm Bluetooth model, with the LTE version reportedly costing €459. The larger 44mm variants are said to start at €439 (Bluetooth) and €489 (LTE). Meanwhile, the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 LTE is tipped to carry a whopping €749 price tag.

As always, it’s worth keeping expectations in check. WinFuture says the prices come from retailer sources and represent European launch pricing, but nothing is official until Samsung makes the announcement. Regional pricing can also vary considerably, so there’s no guarantee buyers in the US or other markets will see the same numbers.

That said, higher prices wouldn’t come as a huge surprise. Smartphone makers continue to face increasing component costs, particularly for memory, and those expenses often end up being reflected in retail prices. If the latest rumors are accurate, Samsung may ask buyers to pay a little more for its newest foldables — but whether the rumored design improvements and hardware upgrades are enough to justify that premium is something we’ll find out soon enough.
