Samsung has also encouraged users to register for the event, offering enticing bonuses for those who sign up, including a Reservation+ program that features a cashback offer of IDR 1 million for a deposit of IDR 200,000.
Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra Highlights
One of the most eagerly anticipated devices is the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra. Based on various leaks, this model is expected to be a premium variant with several enhancements compared to its predecessor.
The Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra is rumored to support the S Pen, feature a significantly less noticeable screen crease thanks to the latest Ultra Thin Glass (UTG) technology and laser-drilled plate structure, and boast a screen brightness of up to 3,600 nits.
In terms of camera capabilities, Samsung is speculated to include a 50 MP periscope telephoto camera, which is expected to enhance optical zoom capabilities. Additionally, the device is rumored to come with a larger battery and a more robust hinge mechanism.
Design Changes and Upgrades
It’s essential to note that all these specifications are still based on rumors and have not been officially confirmed by Samsung.
Aside from the Ultra model, Samsung is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Z Fold8 with a new design approach. Leaks suggest that this device will have a wider and slightly shorter body compared to its predecessor. This change in screen ratio is believed to improve multitasking, document reading, and the ability to run multiple applications simultaneously.
Moreover, Samsung is rumored to utilize lighter materials and enhance screen resolution for sharper display quality.
Galaxy Z Flip8 Expectations
For fans of clamshell-style foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Flip8 is expected to feature several enhancements. Rumors indicate that this device will come with a more functional cover screen, improved hinge durability, and faster performance thanks to the use of the latest chipset.
This year’s entire line of Samsung's foldable devices is anticipated to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite for the global market. This chipset is expected to bring improvements in AI performance, power efficiency, and camera capabilities.
However, once again, Samsung has yet to confirm the official specifications of these devices.
