Samsung Shrinks Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra to 4.1mm, Cutting Display Module 10%

3 articles · Updated · Samsung Global Newsroom · Aug 18

Summary

  • 4.1mm unfolded and 215g, the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra is Samsung’s thinnest Galaxy Z Fold, achieved by redesigning the display, hinge and internal layout as one system.
  • A 10% thinner display module created extra room for core parts, letting Samsung keep an 8-inch main screen and 5,000mAh battery inside the slimmer body.
  • Flex Titanium underpins that design: a titanium plate and titanium-alloy film add support, absorb pressure and improve elastic recovery for repeated folding.
  • More than 100 validation tests—including drops, folding, pressure, moisture and debris—were used to check that the thinner build still meets foldable durability requirements.
