Samsung’s new Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold8, and Galaxy Z Flip8 are capturing strong interest in South Korea, highlighting innovative features like AI-driven video tracking, multi-window productivity, and enhanced selfie tools designed to appeal to younger users and redefine foldable device utility.
Samsung is using the latest Galaxy Z foldables to showcase features it believes will resonate with younger buyers, especially tools built around camera use, multitasking and the practical advantages of a folding design. According to Edaily, the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold8 and Galaxy Z Flip8 have drawn unusually strong interest in South Korea, with pre-orders reaching 1.44 million units, the highest level ever recorded for a Galaxy smartphone launch.
At the centre of Samsung’s pitch is “My FanCam”, an AI-based feature that lets users choose a person in recorded video and have the software track and re-edit the clip so that person remains the focus. Samsung says the function is designed for concert and event footage, where several people often appear in a single frame. It also supports different aspect ratios, reducing the need for manual cropping after filming. The Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra pairs that software with a 200-megapixel wide camera and Samsung’s first 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera on the Fold line, according to the company’s product materials.
Samsung is also leaning on the larger fold-out screen of the Galaxy Z Fold8. The device opens to a 7.6-inch display with a 4:3 aspect ratio, and its Multi Window mode can split the screen into as many as three active panes. That allows users to watch video, message, check market data or manage other apps at the same time. Samsung’s specification pages say the layout can be adjusted so one app is enlarged or all three are shown at equal size, giving the device a more laptop-like workflow than a conventional phone.
On the clamshell Galaxy Z Flip8, Samsung has added Mirror View, which turns the cover screen into a mirror-like display for quick checks before taking photos or heading out. The company says the function aims to reproduce a more natural reflection than the standard selfie preview, and it can use edge lighting in darker environments to make faces easier to see. Users can launch it with a double press of the side key or from the cover screen, without unfolding the handset. Samsung’s wider Galaxy Z messaging is built around the idea that foldable hardware can do more than just save space: it can shape how people shoot, view and manage content in everyday use.
