Samsung confirmed the existence of its Galaxy Z Fold 8 series through regulatory filings this week. Forbes reported that tipster Ice Universe stated on X that the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 will not include privacy screens. The privacy display on the Galaxy S26 Ultra uses a hardware filter layer that functions like vertical blinds inside the panel.
The filter can be adjusted from hazy to full blackout and localized to specific screen areas. Ice Universe said the feature will remain exclusive to the S26 Ultra. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is expected to include a 200MP camera and a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset.
While the Galaxy S26 Ultra starts at $1,299. Samsung Unpacked is scheduled for next month.
