More specifically, the outlet says a $2,099 price tag is considered “likely.” By contrast, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 launched at $1,999.99.

This figure isn’t set in stone yet, as Samsung is reportedly conducting a final review of this price and its overall pricing strategy ahead of the July 22 launch. Either way, a price hike wouldn’t be unexpected given the RAM crisis and the Galaxy S26 family’s price increases earlier this year. This isn’t a huge increase, but the Galaxy Z Fold series wasn’t exactly cheap to begin with.
The outlet also reports that the Galaxy Z Fold 8 or Wide Fold will start at $1,899 for the 256GB model. The new foldable is expected to offer a 4:3 internal screen, making it more ideal for video playback than previous Galaxy Fold models. Samsung also effectively confirmed that it would be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy chip, while previous leaks point to a 4,800mAh battery and a dual 50MP rear camera setup.
Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is expected to have a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip and a 5,000mAh battery. The phone is also rumored to pack a 200MP main camera, a 50MP ultrawide shooter, and a 10MP 3x camera.
