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.
