Samsung’s upcoming foldable lineup has reportedly appeared ahead of its official unveiling later this month. A Reddit user shared an image said to have been taken inside a Samsung retail store in South Korea, showing what are claimed to be the unreleased Galaxy Z Fold8, Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, and Galaxy Z Flip8.

The image places the Galaxy Z Fold8 in the center, flanked by the Galaxy Z Flip8 on the left and the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra on the right. According to the user, a Samsung store employee confirmed that the devices on display were indeed the upcoming foldables.

The leak offers the first look at the Galaxy Z Fold8 in a partially unfolded position. The device appears to feature a redesigned hinge with a visible black section positioned between two hinge components. While Samsung has not detailed the mechanism, the updated hinge design could potentially help reduce the visibility of the display crease.

Recent reports suggest the Galaxy Z Fold8 will start at $1,899 in the United States with 256GB of storage, while the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra is expected to start at $2,099.

In South Korea, the Galaxy Z Fold8 is rumored to begin at KRW 2,278,000, while the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra could start at KRW 2,577,000. The Galaxy Z Flip8 is expected to carry a starting price of KRW 1,683,000.

Samsung is scheduled to officially unveil the Galaxy Z Fold8, Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, and Galaxy Z Flip8 during its Galaxy Unpacked event in London on July 22.
