Kulindeleke amafoni amathathu agoqekayo kulo mcimbi, kanye nochungechunge lwe-Galaxy Watch 9 kanye nalokho okubikwa njenge-Galaxy Glasses yokuqala ye-Samsung (idivayisi yomsindo esebenza nge-Gemini eyenziwe nge-Gentle Monster, engenasikrini):

• I-Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra (incwadi ende yendabuko egoqekayo)
• I-Galaxy Z Fold 8 (entsha ebanzi, emfushane egoqekayo engu-4:3)
• I-Galaxy Z Flip 8
• Uchungechunge lwe-Galaxy Watch 9

Kungani lokhu kuqaliswa kubaluleke kakhulu kunokujwayelekile

Ucingo lokuqala olugoqekayo lwe-Apple, olubizwa kabanzi ngokuthi i-iPhone Fold noma i-iPhone Ultra, kulindeleke ukuthi lufike emcimbini we-Apple kaSepthemba 2026.

Spec

1. Idizayini

Isimo sisonke sihlala sifana ne-Z Fold 7. Ama-render avela ku-SamMobile abeke ubukhulu ku-158.4 x 143.2 x 4.5mm evuliwe kanye no-158.4 x 72.8 x 9mm egoqiwe. Kukhona ukungqubuzana ngobukhulu: i-tipster Ice Universe ithi ubukhulu obuvulekile buyehla kancane bube ngu-4.1mm. Zombili lezi zibalo zivela emifudlaneni ehlukene, ngakho-ke phatha okuqondile njengokungazinzile kuze kube yilapho i-Samsung imemezela.

Imininingwane ebalulekile yomklamo:

• Isisindo: 215g, okufana ne-Z Fold 7 (nge-Ice Universe ngayinye), naphezu kwebhethri elikhulu ngaphakathi
• Isilinganiso se-IP48 sokumelana nothuli namanzi
• Uhlaka lwe-aluminiyamu olune-Gorilla Glass Victus 2 esembozweni
• Isifundi seminwe esifakwe eceleni
• Ukusekelwa kwe-S Pen: kulindeleke ukuthi kwehliswe. I-Ice Universe yabika ngoMeyi 2026 ukuthi i-2026 Fold ngeke isekele i-S Pen. Akukho mthombo we-supply-chain othembekile ophikisane nalokhu. I-digitizer yayisisusiwe kakade kusukela ku-Z Fold SE, ngakho-ke lokhu kuhambisana nokuthambekela kwe-Samsung.
• Izinketho zombala: azikaziwa okwamanje

I-2. Bonisa

I-Z Fold 8 Ultra igcina osayizi besibonisi abafanayo ne-Fold 7. Womabili amaphaneli asebenzisa ubuchwepheshe be-LTPO OLED obunokuvuselela okuguquguqukayo kwe-1-120Hz:

• Isibonisi sesembozo: 6.5-intshi LTPO OLED, Full HD+, kufika ku-2,600 nits
• Isibonisi sangaphakathi: 8-intshi LTPO OLED, QHD+, HDR10+, kufika ku-2,600 nits
• Iphaneli yangaphakathi kubikwa ukuthi isebenzisa isakhiwo se-Ultra-Thin Glass esinezingqimba ezimbili esinepuleti lokusekela lensimbi elibhobozwe nge-laser

Engxenyeni: Lena imininingwane ephikiswana kakhulu. I-Ice Universe yathi ngoMeyi 2026 ukuthi i-crease ngeke ithuthuke kakhulu kune-Z Fold 7 nokuthi akukho Ukuboniswa Kobumfihlo. Umbiko ohlukile we-SamMobile uphakamisa ukuthi ukulawula i-crease kungasondela ku-OPPO Find N6, ecishe ingabonakali. Lezi zikhundla ezimbili ziyangqubuzana. Ukuvumelana kuzo zonke izitolo ukuthi i-crease izothuthuka cishe ngo-20%, kodwa ifoni ngeke ingabi ne-crease.

• Iminyaka eyisikhombisa yokuvuselelwa kwe-OS kanye nama-patch okuphepha

I-7. Intengo

Amanani ase-US aputshuzwa yi-tipster TheGalox ngasekupheleni kukaMashi nasekuqaleni kuka-Ephreli 2026, okuqinisekiswa yi-SamMobile kanye ne-SammyFans:

• I-256GB (i-RAM engu-12GB): $1,999
• I-512GB (i-RAM engu-12GB): $2,199
• 1TB (i-RAM engu-16GB): $2,499

Intengo yokungena engu-$1,999 ayishintshile kusukela entengo yokuqala yokwethulwa kwe-Z Fold 7. Izinhlobo ezingu-512GB kanye ne-1TB ziphakeme cishe ngo-$80 kuya ku-$90 kunezinhlobo zokuqala ze-Fold 7.

Ngokwesicelo sika-$2,700: Isitolo saseKorea i-NewsPim sabika ngoMeyi 2026 ukuthi imodeli engu-512GB ingabiza u-$2,300 kuya ku-$2,400 eNingizimu Korea, kanti imodeli engu-1TB ingadlula u-$2,700. Lokhu kubangelwa ukwanda kwezindleko zememori. I-SammyFans, icaphuna ukudalulwa kwe-Samsung, ibike ukuthi amanani ememori yeselula aphindwe kabili ngaphezu konyaka nonyaka, enyuka ngo-107%. Lezi zibalo zisebenza emakethe yaseKorea futhi kungenzeka zingahumushi ngqo emananini ase-US. Bhala phansi isakhiwo sase-US esingu-$1,999/$2,199/$2,499 njengesimo esithembeke kakhulu, kanye nokwenyuka kweKorea njengengozi ebhaliwe.

I-Samsung ibambe intengo yokungena engu-$1,999 iphansi ngokwengxenye ngoba i-Apple folkeable kulindeleke ukuthi ikhishwe ku-$2,000 noma ngaphezulu. Ukwenyusa intengo manje kuzonika i-Apple ithuba lokuncintisana ngaphambi kokuba ithumele iyunithi eyodwa.

I-Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8

I-Galaxy Z Fold 8 yinto i-Samsung engakaze ithunyelwe ngaphambili: i-golkeable efana nesitayela sencwadi ebanzi kunokuba iphakeme uma ivuliwe. Isibonisi sayo sangaphakathi esingu-4:3 siyinika isimo esiseduze ne-iPad mini kune-Fold yendabuko, futhi ngo-201g, ingenye ye-golkeables ezinkulu kakhulu ezake zenziwa. Ithengisa ezinye zehadiwe zekhamera ukuze ifike lapho.

I-Z Fold 8 Ultra vs. I-Z Fold 8: Uma ubheka nje

Nansi indlela la mafoni amabili aqhathaniswa ngayo kuzo zonke izici ezibaluleke kakhulu:

Isofthiwe: Lokho okutholwa yizingcingo zombili

Zombili i-Z Fold 8 Ultra kanye ne-Z Fold 8 ziza ne-Android 17 kanye ne-One UI 9.0. Kulindeleke ukuthi zibe amadivayisi okuqala ukuthola ukukhishwa kwe-One UI 9 okuzinzile, okungenzeka kube ngaphambi komndeni we-Galaxy S26 kanye ne-Pixel 11.

• I-Galaxy AI suite: I-Photo Assist, i-Portrait Studio, i-Genative Edit, i-Now Brief, i-Now Bar, i-Bixby eklanywe kabusha ngokuqonda ulimi lwemvelo
• Ukuthuthukiswa kwamafasitela amaningi e-Samsung Internet okusebenza kuzo zonke izinhlelo zokusebenza esikrinini sangaphakathi
• I-Gemini Intelligence: kulindeleke ukuthi iqale ukusebenza kulawa madivayisi. Lena yi-AI ye-ejenti ye-Google engenza imisebenzi yezinyathelo eziningi isebenze ngokuzenzakalela kuzo zonke izinhlelo zokusebenza. Yayingekho ku-beta yokuqala ye-One UI 9 ku-S26, ngakho-ke kungenzeka ukuthi ifike nokukhishwa okuzinzile kwe-One UI 9
• Iminyaka eyisikhombisa yokuvuselelwa kwe-OS kanye nama-patch okuphepha

Isikrini esibanzi sekhava ku-Fold 8 naso siyindaba enkulu yesofthiwe. Isibonisi sekhava esingu-5.4-intshi esingu-4.7:3 kulula kakhulu ukusisebenzisa ngesandla esisodwa uma ifoni ivaliwe uma kuqhathaniswa nesikrini sekhava esincane, eside kumamodeli angaphambilini e-Fold. Lindela ukwesekwa kohlelo lokusebenza lwenkampani yangaphandle okwandisiwe kuleso sikrini sekhava nge-One UI 9.

Ingabe Kufanele Uthenge i-Z Fold 8 Ultra noma i-Z Fold 8?
