At Samsung Unpacked today, Samsung is taking the next step in the evolution of the Fold lineup, rebranding the successor to the “tall” Fold 7 as the Galaxy Fold 8 Ultra, and releasing a “wide” Galaxy Z Fold 8 that better positions the brand against Apple’s impending wide-bodied iPhone Ultra foldable. There’s also the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the Galaxy Watch 9, and the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 rounding up the launch event.
