Purple, Black, White and Green. That is the reported color lineup for Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, according to a new leak that has foldable fans arguing online. Samsung has confirmed none of it.
If the leak is accurate, the Ultra would get finishes of its own for the first time instead of sharing them with the rest of the Fold family. The report says Purple is the hero color, the one expected to appear in marketing images and promotional material once the phone is announced. Black and White round out the standard choices, both familiar from earlier Galaxy flagships.
Green is the odd one. It is said to be sold only through Samsung’s online store, which fits the company’s habit of keeping certain colors for Samsung.com. The leak adds that any color can be paired with any storage configuration, so nobody has to buy a bigger tier to get the shade they want.
Fans react
A recent Reddit thread had users picking favorites. Many liked the rumored Green and Purple. Others were unhappy that Silver appears to be gone and wished for something bolder, red among them.
Ultra and Wide
The colors are reportedly exclusive to the Ultra. Separate reports say the Galaxy Z Fold 8, allegedly a wider variant, will get its own palette. Regulatory filings have hinted that Samsung may sell two book-style Folds rather than one: the Ultra, which is expected to keep the familiar Fold design, and a separate model rumored to have a wider body. Both should debut at the same Galaxy Unpacked event. The report says storage is expected to include 256GB, 512GB and 1TB versions.
Several hardware details have surfaced in recent weeks as well. The Ultra is expected to carry a 200MP main camera, which would be the highest-resolution camera Samsung has put on a foldable. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor is the rumored chip, and the battery could grow to 5,000mAh, one of the largest Samsung has offered in a Fold.
Dates
Unpacked is scheduled for July 22, 2026 in London, with a live stream on Samsung’s YouTube channel and website. Pre-orders are expected to open the same day and run about two weeks. Retail availability is expected in early August.
Plenty is still unknown. Samsung has not said whether the Ultra will support the S Pen or whether one will ship with it, and no reliable leak covers charging speeds. Durability changes to the hinge and display, if any, are unconfirmed until launch.
