Preorders for the new devices start today, and all the products announced will officially go on sale on Friday, Aug. 7. Here’s how to preorder every new Galaxy device, plus a guide to which retailers are offering the best deals.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra
Samsung’s high-end foldable has new features like a better camera (with a 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide, and 10MP 3x telephoto), and a longer battery life. Battery life should be improved with a 5,000mAh battery and a larger 8-inch inner screen. It starts at $2,100.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8
The base-model Z Fold 8 has the same chipset and memory configurations as the Z Fold 8 Ultra, in a smaller, lighter, passport-sized form factor. It starts at $1,900.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8
On the flip side (pun intended), Samsung’s clamshell flip phone got an upgrade to a faster processor, supports faster charging, and comes in three fun colors: Cream, Graphite, or Pink. It starts at $1,200.
Also: I went hands-on with the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8, but it’s not the upgrade I expected
Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2
The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra was built for extreme outdoor adventures and high-performance seekers, and the follow-up to last year’s model has some exciting new features, including AI-powered health features like the new Trail Run feature and Nutrition alert. It also has an expanded display with 5,000 nits of brightness. The Galaxy Watch Ultra starts at $800.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 9
Samsung’s newest generation smartwatch features a Snapdragon Wear Elite platform for a boost in speed and efficiency, delivering lag-free, seamless health monitoring. It also features an efficient 390 mAh battery for around-the-clock tracking. It starts at $430.
