Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra new leaks: Confirmed to have an exclusive color lineup

Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is back in the spotlight following a new leak revealing what is said to be its full launch color lineup. The Android tech giant apparently plans to give the Ultra model four exclusive finishes, separating it from the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8.

The report also claims Samsung has selected a hero color for the device, while one finish will be available exclusively through Samsung's online store. If accurate, this would be the first time the Ultra model receives its own distinct color lineup instead of sharing finishes with the rest of the Fold family.

While Samsung has yet to make anything official for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, the latest leak joins a growing list of reports ahead of the company's expected Galaxy Unpacked event later this month.

Purple may serve as Samsung's hero color for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra. It's expected to be the finish featured in marketing materials and promotional images once the device is announced.

Black and White round out the standard lineup. These colors have been offered across previous Galaxy flagship devices and remain popular choices for users who prefer a more traditional look.

Green is perhaps the most interesting option. According to the leak, it will only be available through Samsung's online store, continuing the company's practice of offering exclusive colors directly through Samsung.com.

Another detail mentioned in the report is that every color will be available across all storage configurations. Buyers won't need to choose a higher storage tier just to get the finish they want.

The leak also suggests these colors are exclusive to the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra. Separate reports indicate that the Galaxy Z Fold 8 – allegedly the Wide variant – will receive its own color lineup, giving each model a more distinct identity.

Rumored colorways of the Z Fold 8 Wide are as follows:

• Cream

• Graphite

• Lavender

• Pistachio

The news site adds that these colors will be available across all storage capacities, which are expected to include 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB variants.

The latest color leak arrives just weeks before Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra during its next Galaxy Unpacked event, scheduled on July 22 in London. Following Samsung's standard release pattern, pre-orders are expected to open the same day as the event, with the devices officially hitting retail shelves and shipping out in the first week of August 2026.

You can look forward to tracking the launch through these key stages:

• Official Announcement: July 22, 2026, streaming live on the Official Samsung YouTube Channel and Samsung's website.

• Pre-Order Phase: Expected to run for roughly two weeks starting July 22.

• In-Store Release: Expected early August 2026.

The Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is expected to feature a 200MP main camera, making it Samsung's highest-resolution camera on a foldable phone to date. 

Furthermore, the device is also expected to use Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, which should deliver improvements in performance and power efficiency compared to the previous generation.

Battery capacity could also increase to 5,000mAh, giving the Ultra one of the largest batteries Samsung has offered in a Fold device.

Recent regulatory filings have also hinted at a change to Samsung's foldable lineup. Instead of offering a single book-style Fold, reports suggest Samsung could launch two different models.

According to those filings:

• The Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is expected to retain Samsung's familiar Fold design.

• A separate Fold model is rumored to feature a wider form factor.

• Both devices are expected to launch during the same Galaxy Unpacked event.

None of these details has been confirmed by Samsung, but they continue to appear across multiple reports as the expected launch date gets closer.

With Samsung's next foldable launch drawing closer, it likely won't be long before the rumors are either confirmed or put to rest. Until then, it's worth waiting for the official announcement before making any buying decisions or accessory purchases. If you do plan to upgrade, choosing a thin phone case can help protect your new foldable while preserving the sleek design that makes the Galaxy Z Fold series stand out.
