  • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Fold8 and Flip8: Foldables Designed for Every Lifestyle

    KUALA LUMPUR, 22 JULY 2026 – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has unveiled its latest Galaxy Z series, introducing the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold8 and Galaxy Z Flip8 as its most complete foldable lineup yet. Built on seven generations of foldable innovation and consumer insights, the new series offers three distinct experiences designed around different lifestyles, from immersive entertainment and productivity to personal expression and quick interactions on the go.

    At the centre of the new lineup is Galaxy Z Fold8, a new foldable experience designed for users who want to move seamlessly between everyday interactions and deeper content consumption. Weighing just 201g, it is Samsung’s lightest Galaxy Z Fold yet and features a larger 4,800mAh battery, powered by the Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform for Galaxy. Its 10:16 cover display is suited to everyday tasks such as messaging, browsing and social media, while the 4:3 main display provides a larger canvas for gaming, movies, reading and other long-form content.

    Samsung has also enhanced the display engineering across the new Galaxy Z series with its Flex Titanium technology. Combining a titanium-alloy film with an enhanced titanium plate, the structure is designed to strengthen display support, absorb pressure and impact, and reduce crease visibility over time. The main display can reach up to 3,000 nits of brightness and features Vision Booster and a low-reflection finish for clearer viewing in outdoor environments.

    For photography, Galaxy Z Fold8 features dual 50MP cameras, while Dual Recording allows users to capture both sides of a moment while previewing themselves through the cover screen. The My FanCam feature can automatically track a selected subject and reframe footage into a preferred aspect ratio, making it easier to create social-ready videos.

    Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra brings Samsung’s Ultra standard to the foldable category, combining a larger workspace with enhanced performance and professional-grade creative tools. Featuring an 8-inch main display, the Fold8 Ultra measures just 4.1mm when unfolded and weighs 215g, making it Samsung’s slimmest Z Fold design yet.

    The Fold8 Ultra is equipped with a 200MP main camera enhanced with HDR capability, a new 50MP ultra-wide camera, and improved Nightography for clearer photos and videos in low-light conditions. For advanced creators, the device supports 8K video recording through the APV codec, while Cine LUT provides cinematic colour and tone control directly from the device.

    Under the hood, the Fold8 Ultra features the Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform for Galaxy and a 5,000mAh battery designed to support demanding productivity and creative workloads throughout the day. Its new dual-path charging architecture supports 45W fast charging, while an expanded graphite cooling structure helps manage heat during intensive use.

    Completing the lineup, the Galaxy Z Flip8 is Samsung’s slimmest and lightest Flip yet, weighing 180g and measuring just 6.1mm thick. Designed around personal expression and quick interactions, the Flip8 features an AI-native FlexWindow that brings apps, information and actions closer to users without requiring them to open the device.

    The FlexWindow introduces features such as Now Brief, which provides personalised insights and recommendations, while Gemini Intelligence enables users to access connected actions through natural voice requests or side-key activation. The Flip8 also enhances Samsung’s FlexCam experience with a 50MP camera and ProVisual Engine, Flex Mode for hands-free shooting, Camcorder Grip with Zoom Rocker and Super Steady with Horizontal Lock.

    Across all three models, Samsung has further integrated Galaxy AI to provide more personalised and proactive experiences. Features including Now Brief, Now Nudge and Gemini Intelligence are designed to help users move from information to action with fewer steps. Gemini Intelligence can also automate tasks across more than 40 supported apps and services, while Gemini Notebook allows users to bring together notes, images, recordings, files and documents in one workspace.

    Samsung is also placing a strong emphasis on privacy and security as AI becomes increasingly integrated into everyday mobile experiences. The new Galaxy Z series incorporates Samsung Knox, Personal Data Engine, Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection and Knox Vault, alongside user-controlled cloud processing. One UI 9 introduces an AI Assistant Activity dashboard that allows users to review AI automations in one place, while enhanced Privacy Alerts can notify users about potential privacy risks.

    For Malaysian consumers, the new Galaxy Z series is available for pre-order with several storage configurations, colour options and promotional benefits. The lineup will also include a six-month free trial of Google AI Pro, which comes with 5TB of cloud storage, giving users additional tools for productivity and creativity on their foldable devices.

    HONOR & Google Perkenal AI Gemini pada Telefon Pintar Magic7

    HONOR, jenama teknologi global yang semakin berkembang, hari ini mengumumkan kerjasama penting dengan Google untuk memperkenalkan teknologi Google Gemini AI dalam peranti telefon pintar terbaru mereka.

Kolaborasi ini menandakan satu pencapaian penting dalam memperkenalkan pengalaman AI yang lebih pintar dan canggih untuk pengguna di seluruh dunia.

    Dengan AI menjadi sebahagian besar daripada kemajuan teknologi hari ini, HONOR berkomitmen untuk memanfaatkan keupayaan Google Gemini bagi memberikan pengalaman telefon pintar yang lebih berkualiti tinggi dan personal.

Sebelum ini, HONOR telah memperkenalkan beberapa ciri AI dalam peranti mereka, seperti Circle to Search pada HONOR Magic V3 dan penggunaan Google Cloud AI dalam siri HONOR 200. Semua inisiatif ini menunjukkan betapa seriusnya HONOR dalam memastikan bahawa pengguna mendapat manfaat daripada teknologi terkini dan berteknologi tinggi.

    Kerjasama dengan Google ini juga melibatkan Google Cloud AI, yang memberi peluang kepada HONOR untuk menyepadukan pelbagai model AI yang diperkaya, menguatkan lagi ekosistem AI yang lebih mendalam dalam peranti mereka. Ini tidak hanya akan mengukuhkan lagi prestasi dan kemudahan penggunaan, tetapi juga memastikan keselamatan dan privasi pengguna tetap terjamin.

    Dengan pengenalan Google Gemini ke dalam barisan produk HONOR, syarikat ini sedang membentuk ekosistem AI yang lebih besar dan lebih kuat, yang bukan sahaja memanfaatkan kemampuan AI dalam telefon pintar tetapi juga dalam keseluruhan ekosistem peranti. HONOR bercadang untuk terus mengembangkan teknologi AI dalam semua peranti mereka, memberi peluang kepada pengguna untuk merasai inovasi terkini dengan cara yang lebih intuitif dan mudah digunakan.

    HONOR juga merupakan salah satu daripada pengeluar pertama yang menyokong Android 15 Beta, dan komitmen mereka terhadap perisian terbaru menunjukkan kesungguhan mereka dalam membawa pengalaman AI yang lebih baik kepada lebih ramai pengguna.

    Dengan kerjasama ini, HONOR mengukuhkan kedudukannya sebagai peneraju dalam teknologi AI. Google Gemini AI yang akan diterapkan dalam HONOR Magic7 dan PORSCHE DESIGN HONOR Magic7 RSR akan memperkayakan lagi pengalaman pengguna dengan kemampuan yang lebih pintar dan lebih mendalam. Ini menjadikan HONOR salah satu jenama terkemuka yang membawa AI canggih lebih dekat dengan pengguna global.

    Dengan komitmen terhadap inovasi, privasi, dan keselamatan, HONOR terus mengorak langkah dalam menyediakan pengalaman teknologi yang lebih memuaskan dan berguna untuk penggunanya di seluruh dunia.
