The all-new Galaxy Z series opens a new chapter in foldables with three distinct experiences built for ultra productivity, immersive discovery and self-expression
SYDNEY, July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has unveiled the new Galaxy Z series, its most complete lineup yet, designed to expand foldables to a wider audience. The lineup introduces Galaxy Z Fold8, a fresh and exciting form factor that provides a new kind of foldable experience built around the way people explore, discover, and get immersed in their favourite content.
The lineup also includes Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, which brings Galaxy’s renowned Ultra standard to foldables with maximum productivity and content creation in a larger workspace. Galaxy Z Flip8 – the sleekest one yet – was built for expression and quick interaction on the go. Built on seven generations of foldable innovation and consumer insight, the new Galaxy Z series gives users more choice than ever, with three distinct experiences engineered to fit different needs.
Galaxy AI[1] has been optimised for each of these form factors. Across the lineup, every insight feels more actionable and every action feels more connected. Multitasking is easier on the larger screens of Galaxy Z Fold8 and Z Fold8 Ultra, while Z Flip8’s AI-native FlexWindow keeps relevant information and shortcuts within reach. And with partner AI experiences such as Gemini Intelligence, Galaxy gives users even more ways to get things done in fewer steps – with transparency, privacy and user control built in.[2]
“As AI becomes more agentic, mobile devices will become the most personal entry point to experiences that understand and adapt to each user,” said TM Roh, Chief Executive Officer, President and Head of the Device eXperience (DX) Division at Samsung Electronics. “By setting a new standard for foldables, we are once again advancing the premium mobile experience and opening the next era of intelligence to more people.”
The All-New Galaxy Z Fold8 — A New Galaxy Fold Experience for Everyday Immersion
Galaxy Z Fold8 is reimagined for users who want a foldable that feels natural in the moments when curiosity turns into deeper discovery. Galaxy Z Fold8 introduces a form factor designed to move easily from quick interactions on the cover screen to deeper viewing, reading and gaming on the main display. With intuitive display ratios and long-lasting performance, Galaxy Z Fold8 makes it easier to get the most out of the content, stories and ideas that matter.
Built for Discovery
Galaxy Z Fold8’s display ratios are designed around the way people naturally consume content throughout the day. By adapting the screen to the content, Galaxy Z Fold8 creates a more immersive experience whether users are browsing, watching, reading or gaming. At just 201g[3], Galaxy Z Fold8 is Samsung’s lightest Galaxy Z Fold yet[3]. Despite its lightweight design, it combines the Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform for Galaxy[4] with a larger 4,800 mAh battery,[5] delivering smooth, responsive performance and lasting power so users can stay immersed longer.[6]
When folded, the 10:16 cover screen feels familiar and comfortable for the short moments people return to most often, from messaging and social updates to browsing and short-form video.When unfolded, the 4:3 main display creates a larger canvas that helps users lose themselves in games and films.When rotated, the same display ratio becomes naturally suited to reading, giving users a more comfortable way to settle into articles, e-books and long-form content without carrying another device.Together, these display ratios are designed around the way people naturally consume content, helping Galaxy Z Fold8 feel more immersive whether users are quickly checking in or settling in for longer sessions.
A Display Engineered from the Inside Out
Across the new Galaxy Z series, expert display engineering serves as the foundation for a more refined foldable experience, supporting slimmer designs, greater strength and more seamless viewing.
Samsung’s new Flex Titanium technology introduces a titanium-based display structure designed to make foldables thinner without compromising their strength. By combining a titanium alloy film with an enhanced titanium plate, Flex Titanium helps strengthen display support, absorb pressure and impact, and reduce crease visibility over time. This structure also refines the way the device opens, balancing hinge mechanics, display tension and magnetic force to make unfolding feel smoother, lighter and more natural.[7]With up to 3,000 nits of brightness, the main screen stays vivid and easier to see even in outdoor settings.
A Clear and Versatile Camera Experience
Galaxy Z Fold8 is designed to help users capture and share the moments that catch their attention. Whether it’s a sweeping landscape, a group shot or a spontaneous moment on the move, Galaxy Z Fold8 makes everyday photography and video feel easier to capture, edit and share.
Dual 50MP cameras deliver consistent high-resolution detail across wide and ultra-wide perspectives, helping preserve image quality across different scenes and shooting conditions.[8]Dual Recording lets users capture both sides of the moment while previewing themselves through the cover screen, making reactions and shared experiences easier to frame.My FanCam[9] automatically tracks a selected subject and reframes footage into a preferred aspect ratio, turning dynamic scenes into social-ready videos with less manual editing.
Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra — The Ultra Foldable Built for Maximum Productivity
Ultra represents Galaxy’s highest standard for performance, capability and innovation. With Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, that standard meets Samsung’s most advanced foldable design. Its expansive 8-inch main display[10] opens up a productive workspace for multitasking, while its advanced camera system and long-lasting battery help users create throughout the day[6]. All of this comes in Galaxy’s slimmest Z Fold design yet[11] – measuring just 4.1mm when unfolded and weighing 215g[2], it pushes the standard for productivity on the go.
Professional-Grade Creativity with an Ultra-Level Camera System
Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra is built to give creators more freedom from capture to edit, with an Ultra-level camera system and creative tools that make high-quality content easier to produce from one device.
The 200MP main camera system captures rich, detailed photos with greater clarity, and is now enhanced with High Dynamic Range capability in 200MP mode for more true-to-life images[8].A new 50MP ultra-wide camera brings greater detail and clarity to wider scenes and macro shots[12], giving users more flexibility when capturing landscapes, interiors, group shots and close-up details.Improved Nightography[8] helps photos and videos look brighter and clearer in low light, so users can capture standout moments even in challenging lighting conditions.For advanced creators, 8K video recording through the new APV codec gives users greater flexibility and quality for editing and production workflows, while Cine LUT adds cinematic colour and tone control directly from a mobile device.
Power, Battery and Cooling Built for All-Day Productivity
Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra is engineered to stay fast, responsive and reliable through the most demanding workloads, from heavier multitasking and content creation to AI-powered workflows.
With Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy[13] at its core, Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra delivers the performance users need to switch between apps, work across a larger screen and keep demanding tasks moving smoothly.A 5,000 mAh battery[14] helps users stay productive for longer[6], supporting a full day of work, creation and entertainment in a slimmer foldable design.Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra introduces a new dual-path charging architecture, combined with 45W fast charging, helping distribute power more efficiently across the battery system for faster, more stable and reliable charging throughout the day[15].Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra uses an expanded graphite cooling structure, engineered for improved thermal conductivity, helping to dissipate heat more effectively to keep the device during demanding tasks.
Galaxy Z Flip8 — The Sleekest, Most Expressive AI-Native Flip Experience
Galaxy Z Flip8 is built for users who want their phone to feel as dynamic as they are. Designed around quick interactions, personal expression and AI-native experiences, Z Flip8 brings the power of Galaxy AI closer to everyday moments through a reimagined FlexWindow and uniquely flexible Flip form factor. Weighing just 180g[2] and with a thickness of only 6.1mm, Samsung’s slimmest and lightest Flip[16] brings information, actions and creativity closer to everyday moments.
A Smarter, More Intuitive FlexWindow Experience
Galaxy Z Flip8 reimagines the FlexWindow as an AI-native everyday interface, bringing information, actions and assistance closer to the moments when users need them most.
The new FlexWindow brings apps, insights and actions directly to the cover screen, helping users access information, AI-powered features and connected tasks in fewer steps.Now Brief[17] on FlexWindow home brings timely insights and next steps, helping users move from glanceable information to action at the right moment.Galaxy Z Flip8 also makes automation through Gemini Intelligence easier to access from the FlexWindow[11], allowing users to complete connected actions through side-key activation or natural voice requests.
FlexCam Unlocks a More Expressive Flip Selfie Experience
Galaxy Z Flip8 enhances Samsung’s signature Flip camera experience, turning everyday moments into more expressive content through flexible shooting angles, real-time previews and Flip-only creative experiences. From hands-free shooting and real-time preview to cover-screen selfie videos and Flip-only mirror selfies, Galaxy Z Flip8 helps users create, check and share polished moments without setting up extra equipment.
A 50MP camera with ProVisual Engine delivers Galaxy Z Flip’s most advanced selfie experience, helping users capture detailed portraits and everyday shots with natural skin tones, dynamic bokeh and standout detail[18].Flex Mode[19] makes hands-free shooting easy from a wide range of angles, while Camcorder Grip with Zoom Rocker provides a more comfortable, stable hold when capturing dynamic shots on the move.Super Steady[20] – now with a Horizontal Lock option – helps keep footage smooth and consistently framed, whether filming action-filled moments or on-the-go selfie videos.FlipShot lets users personalise the FlexWindow and capture more expressive mirror selfies, while Mirror View gives users a realistic mirror-like view for quick look checks before taking a photo or heading out.
A New Class of Agentic Experiences Optimised for Foldables
As the most personal device people carry, the phone has become the primary entry point where AI meets users – and the new Galaxy Z series sets the tone for the next generation of mobile AI experiences. Galaxy AI now works across more apps and services, with experiences optimised for foldable form factors. By understanding what matters to each user and helping turn insights into action, Galaxy AI becomes more personal, proactive and useful throughout the day.
Now Brief[21] helps users stay informed with personalised insights tailored to their routines, interests and daily needs through expanded scenarios, customisable briefing cards and personalised recommendations. It now also surfaces security and privacy insights, helping users stay on top of potential risks and protective actions.Now Nudge[21] helps turn insights into action. When plans begin to take shape in a conversation, AI can surface relevant next steps such as checking a schedule, finding a place or saving a location. On foldables, users can continue the conversation side by side on larger displays.Gemini Intelligence[22] helps users move from request to result with fewer steps. Users can simply describe what they need or even add screen or image context. With Gemini Notebook, users can bring together notes, images, recordings, files and documents in one persistent workspace to help users collect, organise and develop their ideas. Drag-and-drop support in split view makes the workflow even more intuitive, allowing users to easily add multiple files and images and turn their content into audio overviews, infographics, reports, meeting recaps, visual summaries, documents and more.AI experiences become more connected and contextual when the new Galaxy Z series is connected with Galaxy Watch Ultra2 and Galaxy Watch9. From wellness insights to daily routines and connected actions, Galaxy AI helps users move more seamlessly between devices with timely personalised support throughout the day.
Together, these experiences show how Galaxy AI is becoming a more capable and proactive companion, helping users accomplish more with less effort. Across the lineup, foldable form factors make these experiences easier to access throughout the day.
Security and Privacy Built Into the Experience
As AI becomes more personal and agentic, trust continues to be a critical foundation of the experience. Users need to know how their data is used, understand what AI is doing on their behalf and stay in control of the choices that shape their experience. With the new Galaxy Z series, Samsung builds that trust into the device from the start, helping to keep personal data secure while giving users transparency, choice, and control over how their information is used.
Samsung Knox protects every Galaxy device from the chip up, with a multi-layered approach that includes on-device personalisation, user-controlled cloud processing, as well as future-ready protections such as ecosystem-wide protection through Samsung Knox Matrix. For on-device AI, Personal Data Engine (PDE) enables context-aware, personalised AI experiences. To protect PDE, Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection creates encrypted, app-specific storage environments and Knox Vault adds a tamper-resistant physical layer for sensitive information[23]. These system level protections work together with Advanced Intelligence settings and Personal Data Intelligence to help users control how AI features manage and use personal data.
One UI 9.0 also introduces a new AI Assistant Activity dashboard. Instead of moving across multiple apps and services to understand what happened, users can review AI actions in one place and navigate directly to the relevant agent for additional context and settings. The new Galaxy Z series also brings enhanced Privacy Alerts that proactively notify users about potential privacy risks, including unnecessary attempts to access background permissions, helping them respond before those risks become invisible.
These updates build on Galaxy’s existing security and privacy portfolio which includes Auto Blocker, Theft Protection, Private Sharing, Secure Wi-Fi and more. Together, these advancements are designed to make AI not only more capable, but more understandable and controllable. By giving users greater transparency, clearer choices and strong protections, the new Galaxy Z series helps ensure that more personal AI experiences remain grounded in trust.

AI is redesigning work: Adecco Group whitepaper reveals the need for hybrid workforce orchestration

New Adecco Group-commissioned whitepaper finds AI is transforming work, and outlines how organizations can orchestrate people, AI agents and physical AI
OECD employment rates remain near record highsAI is changing tasks faster than eliminating jobs, but adjustment is uneven by sector, jobs and organizational readinessBetween 2022 and 2025 1.9 million new AI-related jobs were createdThe opportunity is in helping enterprise adoption: only 18% of U.S. firms and 20% of European firms have integrated AI into core workflows at scale, leaving significant room for further workforce transformationHybrid workforce orchestration emerging as new management discipline for the intelligence era
ZURICH, July 23, 2026 /CNW/ — The Adecco Group (SIX: ADEN) today published a whitepaper developed in partnership with Altermind: “On the threshold: AI, the future of work and the rise of hybrid labor markets”. The report outlines the actual risk facing the global economy is corporate inertia. Organizations are failing to redesign work fast enough to capture productivity, protect trust and create value from AI investments. The paper introduces a new model that the Adecco Group believes will define the organization of work for the next decade: hybrid workforce orchestration. This is the discipline of redesigning work so people, AI agents, automation and physical AI each contribute to creating the most value and impact.
Denis Machuel, CEO of the Adecco Group, said: “The evidence is clear: AI is fundamentally changing what work will look like in the future and creating an opportunity to redesign how organizations create value. The next phase of AI will be won by redesigning work – understanding what people should do, what AI agents can do, how skills are evolving and what skills will be needed in the future, and how value is created and measured. That is the role of hybrid workforce orchestration, and this is exactly our mission.
“Technology creates capability. People turn it into value. Hybrid workforce orchestration makes it scalable. We are ready to lead the human side of the AI transformation.”

SUNMI Expands SoftPOS Platform to Bring Secure Contactless Payments to More Smart Business Devices
Published

July 23, 2026By
SINGAPORE, July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — SUNMI has expanded its SoftPOS platform, bringing secure contactless payment capabilities to more smart commercial terminals. Working with leading payment partners worldwide, SUNMI is accelerating SoftPOS adoption across retail, hospitality, and other in-person commerce scenarios.
The latest update extends SUNMI’s smart terminal ecosystem with greater deployment flexibility for payment service providers and merchants. By embedding SoftPOS into commercial devices, businesses can support secure contactless payments without compromising operational efficiency.
A key highlight is the integration of CPad with SUNMI desktop POS terminals. The solution combines the desktop terminal’s business management capabilities with CPad’s dedicated payment functionality, allowing merchants to manage ordering and operations on the main terminal while accepting secure contactless payments on a separate payment device. The result is a streamlined checkout experience with a clear separation between business operations and payment acceptance.
The platform also strengthens terminal compatibility, payment security, device management, and global deployment capabilities. Together with ecosystem partners including Soft Space, viva.com, Softpay, OPP, and Rubean, SUNMI is enabling SoftPOS deployments across a growing range of commercial environments.
For more than a decade, SUNMI has continued to evolve its smart commercial terminal platform—from traditional POS to Android-based smart terminals, and now to devices with integrated SoftPOS capabilities. By combining its intelligent hardware platform with the global payments ecosystem, SUNMI is giving merchants more flexible choices for deploying secure, scalable, and future-ready payment experiences.
