Today is the last chance to lock in storage upgrades, trade-in savings, premium subscriptions and Samsung Care+ offers before Samsung’s pre-order window closes
DUBAI, UAE – July, 2026 – DUBAI, UAE – August, 2026 – Time is nearly up. Pre-orders for Samsung Gulf Electronics’ latest foldable smartphones, the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold8 and Galaxy Z Flip8, close today, marking the final opportunity for UAE customers to secure the Galaxy Z8 Series and Watch9 and Watch Ultra2 before it moves into general availability.
Since launching on July 22, the new lineup has drawn steady traffic to Samsung Experience Stores and authorized retailers across the UAE. The momentum echoes what’s happening globally: the Galaxy Z Series recently broke Samsung’s all-time Galaxy pre-order record, with 1.44 million units reserved in Korea alone, surpassing a record that had stood for seven years. Positive early reviews have highlighted the lineup’s design, on-device AI experiences and productivity credentials, adding to the case for buying now rather than waiting.
Each model in the Series offers a distinct reason to upgrade. The Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra is built for maximum productivity, pairing Samsung’s slimmest Fold design yet with a professional-grade 200MP camera and Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 power. The Galaxy Z Fold8, Samsung’s lightest Fold ever at just 201g, is designed for immersive, everyday discovery, with a wider display that makes browsing, streaming and social media feel more natural. The Galaxy Z Flip8 rounds out the lineup with an AI-native FlexWindow, an upgraded 50MP camera and a design compact enough to slip into any pocket, proof that a foldable no longer means compromise.
With hours remaining, the savings are hard to ignore. Customers can still upgrade from 256GB to 512GB on any Galaxy Z8 Series device for just AED 400, or step up from 512GB to 1TB on the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra or Galaxy Z Fold8 for AED 800.
Trade-in savings of up to AED 3,737 on eligible Galaxy Z Series devices offer further value for anyone upgrading from an older model. Shoppers can stack the savings even further with multi-buy offers, including 10% off a Galaxy Watch when purchased alongside a Galaxy Z8 Series device, 30% off a case with any Z8 Series purchase, and 30% off a watch strap when bought with a Galaxy Watch.
Pre-order customers can also unlock a suite of premium digital benefits, including a six-month Google AI Pro subscription, a 12-month Amazon Prime subscription, a 12-month Samsung Entertainer subscription, a four-month OSN+ subscription and a three-month TOD Sports subscription. Those purchasing through Samsung.com can additionally enroll in Samsung Care+ and receive the first three months of coverage at no extra cost with added peace of mind.
Customers across the UAE who have been considering the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold8 or Galaxy Z Flip8 have until midnight to pre-order through Samsung.com, Samsung Experience Stores or authorized retailers and take advantage of savings, subscriptions and benefits during the pre-order period.
