Samsung unveils new Galaxy Z8 foldables and Galaxy Watches, available August 7
三星发布全新 Galaxy Z8 系列折叠屏手机及 Galaxy Watch，8 月 7 日上市
The rumors haven’t left much to the imagination, but Samsung has unfurled its 2026 foldable lineup today. There are three models for the first time in Samsung’s eight-gen foldable family, including the top-of-the-line Z Fold 8 Ultra. That phone is the successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7, but the Z Fold 8 is new—the company’s first wide-body foldable designed for media over multitasking. And then there’s a new, thinner flip phone, plus a pair of smartwatches. You can preorder Samsung’s new hardware today, but the component shortage has made these already spendy product lines more expensive this year. Even the Z Flip 8 is now well over a grand, and the Ultra costs almost twice as much.
尽管传闻早已让新机失去了神秘感，但三星今日正式揭开了其 2026 年折叠屏产品线的面纱。三星第八代折叠屏家族首次推出了三款机型，其中包括顶配版的 Z Fold 8 Ultra。该机型是去年 Galaxy Z Fold 7 的继任者，而 Z Fold 8 则是一款全新产品——这是三星首款专为媒体消费而非多任务处理设计的宽体折叠屏手机。此外，还有一款更轻薄的翻盖式手机以及两款智能手表。即日起，用户即可预订三星的这些新硬件，但由于零部件短缺，这些本就昂贵的产品线今年价格进一步上涨。即便是 Z Flip 8 的售价也已超过 1000 美元，而 Ultra 版本的价格更是几乎翻了一番。

The Z Fold 8 Ultra has the same basic form factor as the last few Samsung tablet-style foldables. A 6.5-inch OLED on the outside is about the same ratio as a standard smartphone screen. Open it up, and you get an 8-inch display that’s roughly twice as wide. That makes the main display close to square. While the Ultra’s display is perfect for running two phone apps side by side, it’s not ideal for content consumption.
Z Fold 8 Ultra 的基本外形与三星过去几款平板式折叠屏手机保持一致。外屏是一块 6.5 英寸的 OLED 屏幕，比例与标准智能手机屏幕大致相同。展开后，你会得到一块约两倍宽的 8 英寸显示屏，这使得主屏幕接近正方形。虽然 Ultra 的显示屏非常适合并排运行两个手机应用，但它并不完全适合内容消费。
The 5.5-inch cover display on the wider phone has a chunky 10:16 ratio. Unfold it, and the Z Fold 8 becomes a 7.6-inch 4:3 display. This gives widescreen videos a little more breathing room with smaller black bars, and it’s supposedly an ideal shape for reading documents in portrait orientation. Both the Ultra and wide-body Folds are impressively thin at 4.1 mm and 4.5 mm (unfolded), respectively.
这款宽体手机的外屏为 5.5 英寸，比例为 10:16。展开后，Z Fold 8 呈现出一块 7.6 英寸的 4:3 显示屏。这为宽屏视频提供了更多的显示空间，黑边更小，且据称是纵向阅读文档的理想比例。Ultra 和宽体版 Fold 的机身都令人印象深刻地薄，展开后厚度分别为 4.1 毫米和 4.5 毫米。
Samsung’s larger foldables should have noticeably better battery life. The Z Fold 8 has a 4,800 mAh cell, and the Ultra goes all the way to 5,000 mAh. The Z Fold 7, which slimmed down Samsung’s foldable silhouette considerably, only managed to fit 4,400 mAh. The Z Flip 8 is slightly slimmer than past devices of its type, and the battery capacity remains at 4,300 mAh. Samsung has mercifully improved charging speeds this year, but only for the tablet-style foldables. Both those phones now max out at 45 W instead of 25 W, where the Z Flip 8 remains.
三星的大尺寸折叠屏手机电池续航能力应有显著提升。Z Fold 8 配备了 4,800 mAh 电池，而 Ultra 则达到了 5,000 mAh。相比之下，大幅缩减机身厚度的 Z Fold 7 仅能容纳 4,400 mAh 电池。Z Flip 8 比以往同类机型略薄，电池容量保持在 4,300 mAh。三星今年终于提升了充电速度，但仅限于平板式折叠屏手机。这两款手机现在的最高充电功率从 25W 提升至 45W，而 Z Flip 8 则维持在 25W。
All of Samsung’s new foldables feature a design element the company calls “Flex Titanium.” No, it’s not going back to titanium frames. Flex Titanium consists of a titanium alloy film under the flexible OLED panels. Samsung says this makes the screen more resistant to impact and smoother to open, and it reduces the visibility of the dreaded foldable crease. There’s also a new low-reflection finish on the displays that should make them more usable outdoors.
三星所有新款折叠屏手机都采用了一种被称为“Flex Titanium”的设计元素。这并非指回归钛金属边框，而是指在柔性 OLED 面板下方加入了一层钛合金薄膜。三星表示，这使得屏幕抗冲击能力更强，开合手感更顺滑，并减少了折叠屏令人头疼的折痕可见度。此外，显示屏还采用了全新的低反射涂层，应能提升在户外环境下的使用体验。
If you want that wide screen, you’ll have to compromise on cameras. The Ultra has a triple lens setup like last year’s big foldable: a 200 MP primary, a 10 MP 3x telephoto, and a 50 MP ultrawide. The Z Fold 8 has only two rear cameras: a 50 MP primary and a 50 MP ultrawide. The Flip 8 has the same primary but swaps in a 12 MP sensor for the ultrawide.
如果你想要那块宽屏幕，就必须在摄像头上做出妥协。Ultra 采用了与去年大尺寸折叠屏手机相同的后置三摄方案：200MP 主摄、10MP 3 倍长焦和 50MP 超广角。Z Fold 8 仅配备两颗后置摄像头：50MP 主摄和 50MP 超广角。Flip 8 拥有相同的主摄，但超广角镜头换成了 12MP 传感器。
The new phones will ship with Android 17 and One UI 9, which Samsung says has been further optimized for the AI era. Now Brief can make more suggestions, including for security and privacy insights. That could potentially mean more alerts from Now Nudge, which proactively offers AI help across the device. The phones also ship with Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM), with support for enhanced foldable multitasking.
新款手机将搭载 Android 17 和 One UI 9 系统，三星称该系统已针对 AI 时代进行了进一步优化。现在的“Brief”功能可以提供更多建议，包括安全和隐私洞察。这意味着“Now Nudge”功能可能会发出更多提醒，主动在设备各处提供 AI 辅助。此外，手机还预装了 Gemini Notebook（前身为 NotebookLM），并支持增强的折叠屏多任务处理功能。
The price hikes this year aren’t that much in the grand scheme, but Samsung’s foldables were already very expensive. The Ultra and Flip are only $100 more than their 2025 counterparts, but foldables were already seeing price bumps even before the RAMpocalypse. A $1,200 price tag will make the Flip 8 a tough sell when Motorola has Razr phones for hundreds less, even if they aren’t as fast. At $2,100, the Z Fold 8 Ultra will be the most spendy foldable in most markets, but anyone who’s going to spend $2,000 on one can probably justify another $100.
从大局来看，今年的涨价幅度并不算大，但三星的折叠屏手机本就非常昂贵。Ultra 和 Flip 的价格仅比 2025 年的机型高出 100 美元，但折叠屏手机在“内存危机”之前就已经在涨价了。1200 美元的定价让 Flip 8 在面对摩托罗拉 Razr 系列（尽管性能稍逊，但价格便宜数百美元）时，销售难度较大。2100 美元的 Z Fold 8 Ultra 将成为大多数市场中最昂贵的折叠屏手机，但对于那些愿意花 2000 美元购买手机的人来说，多花 100 美元或许也在情理之中。
