According to multiple reports, Samsung will hold a Galaxy Unpacked event on July 22, 2026, where the brand will launch its new flagship smartphones with foldable displays, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold 8, and Galaxy Z Flip 8

So far, there have been many leaks about these devices, shedding light on their design, features, and even prices. However, none of them have revealed when people will be able to pre-reserve, pre-order, or buy them. That’s changing today.

On X, Abhishek Yadav claims that Samsung will open pre-reservations for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and the Galaxy Z Flip 8 on July 8, 2026, which is tomorrow. The tipster didn't specify the market this information applies to. However, since they are based in India and Samsung typically opens pre-reservations in the country while offering reservations in markets like the US, we assume the leak is referring to the Indian market.

Usually, Samsung requires customers to pay a small token amount to pre-reserve a device. In return, buyers typically receive benefits such as discounts, free upgrades, or other launch offers when they later pre-order the phone. If this leak turns out to be accurate and you're planning to buy the Galaxy Z Fold 8 or the Galaxy Z Flip 8, you may want to keep your payment details handy for tomorrow.
