- A new leak suggests Samsung is expanding color choices across the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series and Galaxy Z Flip 8.

- The Galaxy Z Flip 8 is expected to launch in Cream, Graphite, Mint, and Pink.
Samsung’s next foldables are still weeks away from being launched, but a new leak may have already revealed one of the most important details for buyers: the color options.
According to new information that has surfaced via Digital Citizen, Samsung is preparing for a larger color palette for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 family and the Galaxy Z Flip 8. Some of the familiar shades are here to stay, but a few new ones might add a little more personality to the line-up.
Standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 is said to come in four finishes:
- Butter
- Graphite
- Lavanda
- Pistacchio
Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is said to be getting its own exclusive colors:
- Cream
- Graphite
- Green Shadow
- Violet Shadow
Samsung’s clamshell foldable will be no different, apparently. The Galaxy Z Flip 8 colors may be cream, graphite, mint, and pink.
Cream and graphite appear to be the common thread across all three devices, but Samsung is giving each model a pair of unique colors to help distinguish them.
Storage options have also reportedly surfaced. The Galaxy Z Flip 8 is expected to come with either 256GB or 512GB of storage. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Fold 8 Ultra are also expected to get a 1TB variant along with 256GB and 512GB options. Fortunately, the leak indicates that Samsung will not restrict certain colors to certain storage configurations.
While Samsung has yet to formally announce its next Unpacked event, recent FCC filings indicate that launch preparations are already underway. The rumors now indicate July in London.
Of course, all these details are based on leaks, and so there is always a chance Samsung could change things before launch. But if the info pans out, the company’s 2026 foldable lineup could be more diverse than we’ve seen in years — and buyers sick of playing it safe with black and silver phones may finally have some new options.
Android Central’s Take
For one, I’m glad to see Samsung putting a little more thought into color options this year. Foldable phones are pricey devices, and owners deserve something that feels a little more personal than another shade of gray. More variety gives users the chance to pick a phone that really speaks to their style instead of taking whatever neutral option is left in the shop. That said, colors alone won’t sell people on an upgrade. Samsung can paint these phones Pistachio or Violet Shadow or whatever fancy marketing name it comes up with next, but if the hardware and software improvements don’t feel meaningful, a fresh coat of paint will just look like a distraction rather than real progress.
