Samsung officially launched its latest Galaxy Z Series, including the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold8 and Galaxy Z Flip8 in Malaysia on August 14, 2026, alongside the Galaxy Watch Ultra2 and Galaxy Watch9.
The rollout kicked off with the “Haus of Fold” roadshow at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, with retail prices starting from RM5,399 for the Flip8, RM7,299 for Fold 8 and go up to RM8,099 for the Fold8 Ultra.
Samsung Malaysia Electronics president Charles Kim credited the enthusiastic response to the series’ versatile form factor that seamlessly supports Malaysians’ mobile, connected lifestyles.
“We would like to thank all Malaysians for making the Galaxy Z Series truly your choice of foldables. The incredible response from both consumers and media reflects how Malaysians are embracing new possibilities and making foldables part of their everyday lifestyle.
“With this new generation of Galaxy Z devices, Samsung is entering another exciting chapter of foldable innovation, giving Malaysians more ways to create and connect on their own terms,” he said.
“Ultimately, the question is no longer whether to own a foldable, but which foldable best fits your lifestyle – and we are proud that Malaysians continue to choose Galaxy Z,” he added.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Series partnered with the upcoming Malaysian action movie Takluk 2: Op Daulat. Lead actors Syafiq Kyle, Mimi Lana, Kamal Adli and Anas Ridzuan made a special appearance at the event to preview the movie trailer and share their filming experiences using the Galaxy Z Series.
