Samsung's $2,000 Galaxy Z Fold 8 Series Reportedly Drops S26 Ultra Privacy Display

Summary
Ice Universe said Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8, Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 will not include the privacy display now exclusive to the Galaxy S26 Ultra.
The hardware feature uses an adjustable filter layer inside the panel to block side viewing, making its absence notable on the Fold 8 line's larger tablet-like screens.
The omission is unlikely to lower prices: the Fold 7 launched at $1,999.99 in the U.S., while the Fold 8 Ultra is still expected to add a 200MP camera, higher-resolution display and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip.
Samsung has already confirmed the Fold 8 series in regulatory filings, and the full pricing and feature lineup is expected at Unpacked next month.
