Galaxy Z Fold 8 Leak Reveals Colors, Storage, and a New Ultra Variant

A Galaxy Z Fold 8 leak lists every color and storage option for the Z Flip 8, Z Fold 8, and a new Z Fold 8 Ultra. Samsung has not confirmed July 22.

DigitalCitizen has published what it calls an exclusive look at Samsung’s next wave of foldables, and the SKU list is where the story starts. The leak covers three devices: the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the Galaxy Z Fold 8, and a brand-new Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra. Each one ships in four colors, but the shared neutrals, the storage tiers, and the model codes underneath the palette are where Samsung’s biggest foldable lineup starts to look like a structural shift.

Cream and Graphite anchor all three devices, in line with Samsung’s habit of keeping two safe shades on every flagship. The remaining two colors split off cleanly: the Flip 8 picks up Mint and Pink, the standard Fold 8 goes with Pistachio and Lavender, and the Fold 8 Ultra introduces Green Shadow and Violet Shadow. The pattern matches the personality each line has owned for years.

What the Leak Actually Shows

DigitalCitizen obtained a fresh batch of model numbers that map directly onto Samsung’s launch plans. The Flip 8 carries the SM-F776B code, the standard Fold 8 uses SM-F971B, and the new Fold 8 Ultra lands at SM-F976B, three distinct identifiers for a three-device lineup. Every model number resolves to a real storage tier, and the storage tiers map onto real colors.

No color is locked to a specific storage option, Android Authority reports, so buyers won’t be pushed toward pricier finishes to get the look they want. The shared Cream and Graphite options across all three devices also let Samsung run a single accessory catalog across the lineup, a quiet win on the manufacturing and retail side. The remaining six colors are where the lineup’s personality splits.

The leak is the most concrete pre-launch detail so far, and it lands at the busiest point yet for Samsung’s foldable roadmap. All three devices cleared FCC certification in a single filing round in June, the regulatory step that signals a US launch is locked in. Forbes contributor Jay McGregor reports he will be live at Unpacked London on July 22, citing the same FCC filings as the final pre-launch signal. Samsung itself has not confirmed the launch date.

Galaxy Z Fold 8 colors and storage leak details

Cream and Graphite Run Through the Whole Lineup

Cream and Graphite show up on the Flip 8, Fold 8, and Fold 8 Ultra alike, and the pairing is no accident. Samsung has used the same two neutrals across its flagship lines since the Galaxy S23 era, and the pair shows up on corporate buyers’ gift lists more reliably than any bolder shade. The shared baseline also lets Samsung run a single accessory catalog across the lineup.

The remaining two colors are where each device breaks off and stakes out its own identity. Mint and Pink on the Flip 8 fit the lifestyle and fashion-led positioning Samsung has used for the clamshell since the first Z Flip. Lavender and Pistachio on the standard Fold 8 land softer and more design-led, aimed at buyers who want the big-screen Fold without paying Ultra prices. Green Shadow and Violet Shadow on the Ultra borrow the jewel-tone language Samsung has run on the Galaxy S Ultra phones for the past two years. The color split is the clearest outward sign of a three-device strategy Samsung will be leaning on for the rest of the year.

Storage Tiers Draw a Sharp Line at 1TB

The storage split is the second piece of the leak, and it draws a clean line through the lineup. The Flip 8 ships in 256GB and 512GB only. The Fold 8 and Fold 8 Ultra each add a 1TB tier. No color is locked to a specific storage option.

DigitalCitizen lists every SKU, and the storage tiers map cleanly onto device class. A Mint Flip 8 can be ordered in either 256GB or 512GB without restriction, which means Samsung is not using storage as a way to push buyers toward pricier finishes. The 1TB tier’s absence on the Flip also tells you which device Samsung treats as a lifestyle product and which one it positions as a power-user tool.

For comparison, last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 launched with the same 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB split across its storage options, and the Z Flip 7 launched with 256GB and 512GB only. If the leak is accurate, Samsung’s storage hierarchy stays untouched heading into the next generation, with one extra tier of top-end capacity for buyers who want it.

For the Fold 8 Ultra specifically, the 1TB option gives Samsung a credible flagship-tier SKU to sit at the top of the line. The standard Fold 8 gets the same 1TB option, which leaves room for the Ultra to differentiate on hardware rather than storage alone. That could mean a thinner chassis, a bigger inner display, or a stronger camera system on the Ultra. Forbes reports the Fold 8 Ultra at 4.1mm unfolded and 215g, on par with the Fold 7’s footprint but with the Ultra branding.

The Five-Step Gap in Samsung’s Model Codes

The most revealing detail in the DigitalCitizen leak is not a color. It is the model numbers. The standard Fold 8 ships under SM-F971B, and the Fold 8 Ultra ships under SM-F976B. The five-step gap between the two model numbers is bigger than the single-step gap Samsung has used for in-line refreshes in past launches.

A wider model-code gap is Samsung’s quiet way of marking two products as distinct, not as variations of a single SKU. The pattern lines up with how Samsung has handled its Galaxy S lineup since the S22 Ultra arrived, when the Ultra moved from a phone-plus-extra positioning to its own product line. For the Fold 8 generation, the same logic appears to apply. The Ultra suffix lands on the Fold line for the first time, and the model codes confirm it. The Flip 8 stays as a single SM-F776B family with no Ultra variant, which keeps Samsung’s clamshell lineup simple.

For buyers, that structural change carries weight. A real second Fold product means a real second buying decision, and the new Ultra nameplate is the place Samsung will park its premium engineering. Samsung’s two-Fold bet against Apple’s first foldable frames the same logic from a different angle. Color is decoration. The model codes are the architecture.

Summer Unpacked Is Closing In

Samsung has not officially confirmed the launch date, but the regulatory signals are lining up. All three devices cleared FCC certification in the same filing round in June. Forbes reports the same window covered the Fold 8 Ultra, the Flip 8, the Fold 8 Wide, and the Galaxy Watch 9, ruling out a staggered US rollout.

Android Authority points to a rumored London launch in July, framed as the second of Samsung’s two annual Galaxy Unpacked events. Forbes contributor Jay McGregor says he will be live at Unpacked London on July 22, citing the FCC filings as the final pre-launch signal. Korean outlet ZDNet Korea, cited in Forbes, also pegged July 22 as the date. Mashable and Tom’s Guide have both run previews pointing to the same window. Samsung has stayed silent on the specifics.

The launch lands at a tense moment for Samsung’s foldable business. Forbes reports that tipster Lanzuk, writing on the Naver Blog, claims a price increase for at least one storage variant of the new lineup is “confirmed,” though they did not say which tier. The Galaxy S26 launch earlier this year saw Samsung raise prices on higher storage tiers, and the same playbook could land on the Fold 8 generation. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 will run One UI 9 out of the box, with Gemini Intelligence as the headline AI suite, per Forbes.

The hardware timeline matches. Forbes reports the Fold 8 Ultra at 4.1mm unfolded thickness, a 5,000mAh battery, and 45W wired charging. The Fold 8 Wide is tipped at 201g, a 4,800mAh battery, and a wider 4:3 outer display. The full reveal will land in London if the leaks hold.

Why This Leak Deserves a Grain of Salt

The leak’s source is its biggest caveat. 9to5Google notes that DigitalCitizen does not have a known track record for foldable leaks, and treats the report with a grain of salt. The same outlet is the only source for the SKUs and the model codes behind the leak. Every downstream outlet, including Android Authority, cites DigitalCitizen directly. Samsung has not commented on the report.

The pattern fits a wider reality in Samsung leak coverage. The company keeps its foldable roadmap tighter than its phone or wearable roadmaps, and pre-launch details usually surface from regulatory filings or carrier databases. This leak is neither. It is a SKU list forwarded to a single outlet, with no obvious corroboration from a Samsung filing or a Samsung distributor. The colors and storage tiers will likely show up again before launch, but the lineup itself remains unconfirmed by Samsung.

How the Palette Maps to Each Device

Read across the leak, the colors map cleanly onto each device’s marketing job. The Flip 8 carries the lifestyle role. The Fold 8 carries the productivity role. The Fold 8 Ultra picks up the premium statement role.

Mint and Pink on the Flip 8 fit the youth- and fashion-led positioning Samsung has used for the clamshell since the first Z Flip. Lavender and Pistachio on the standard Fold 8 land softer and more design-led, aimed at buyers who want the big-screen Fold without paying Ultra prices. Green Shadow and Violet Shadow on the Ultra borrow the jewel-tone language of the Galaxy S Ultra phones. The color split is the clearest outward sign of a three-device strategy that Samsung will be leaning on for the rest of the year.

Samsung’s biggest foldable launch to date, on paper, is shaping up to be its most expensive too. The July 22 London date is one FCC filing and one Samsung confirmation away from becoming official. Until Samsung confirms, the colors, the storage, and the new Ultra nameplate are still best read as a credible leak, not a launch event.
