Repair parts Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra

In this section, you’ll find original spare parts for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, the 8-inch foldable that Samsung unveiled in July 2026 as the direct successor to the Galaxy Z Fold7. The components are intended both for individuals repairing their own phone and for repair shops looking for the exact part. The range currently includes the complete back cover with camera frame and the gyroscope flex cable, both specific to the F976 series.

SM-F976 or SM-F971: how to identify whether you have the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra

The commercial names can be confusing. In 2026, Samsung unveiled two book-style foldables: the Galaxy Z Fold8, which is wider and has proportions close to 4:3, and the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, which retains the elongated design of the Fold7. They belong to the same generation, but they are different devices with different components, so make sure you check the model code before placing an order.

The spare parts on this page are for the SM-F976 family. Check which of these variants you have:

• SM-F976B and SM-F976B/DS: international versions, commonly found in Europe. The /DS suffix is used on dual-SIM units.
• SM-F976U and SM-F976U1: variants intended for the US market.

To check on the device itself, go to Settings > About phone. You’ll find the name and model number there, along with the IMEI and serial number. If the code starts with SM-F971, you have the Galaxy Z Fold8 without the Ultra suffix, and these parts won’t fit.

If the device won’t switch on, you can also tell the models apart visually. The Ultra has a 6.5-inch outer display, weighs 215 grams and has three rear cameras: a 200 MP main camera, a 50 MP ultra-wide camera and a 10 MP telephoto camera with 3x zoom. The standard Fold8 is shorter and wider, has a 5.5-inch outer display and only two rear cameras, so the back cover and camera cut-out look completely different.

What’s included with original Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra parts

A back cover supplied with the camera frame already fitted

The back of the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is made of Gorilla Glass Victus 2 over an aluminium frame. It is one of the areas most likely to take a hit when the phone falls face down, as the camera island protrudes and absorbs much of the impact.

The original back cover with camera frame for Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is sold as a complete cover, with the frame around the camera module already integrated. The practical advantage is that there’s no need to remove the trim from the damaged cover and transfer it to the new one, a task that can easily bend the frame or scratch the lenses. Before ordering, check the product listing to see whether the camera lens protectors are already fitted.

As an Original quality part, it matches the fit and finish of the part installed by Samsung at the factory. Bear in mind that the back cover is glued on and forms part of the device’s seal: to ensure it closes properly, remove any remaining old adhesive and apply new adhesive. It doesn’t clip into place, so it’s best to have opening tools and some experience, especially when working with such a thin foldable.

Why the gyroscope flex cable is identified by the F976 code

The original gyroscope flex cable for Samsung Z Fold8 Ultra is an internal part mainly of interest to repair shops that have already identified a fault with this cable and need to replace it without affecting other modules. It is an Original quality spare part, designed for this model’s internal circuitry.

In a foldable, the internal layout of the flex cables changes from one generation to the next, even when the devices look quite similar on the outside. Compatibility with the Fold7 or standard Fold8 has not been documented, so the safest option is to use only the part with the F976 reference. Before fitting it, compare the cable’s shape and connector positions with the part you’re removing: this is the quickest way to check that your unit matches the one in the catalogue.

What differs from the Fold7 when ordering Samsung parts for the F976

When folded, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is almost the same size as the Fold7 (8.9 mm thick) and looks very similar on the outside, so it’s easy to assume the components are compatible. However, the ultra-wide camera has gone from 12 to 50 MP, and the outer display’s protection has changed from Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 to Ceramic 3. These changes aren’t always visible at a glance, but they do affect certain components.

Unless compatibility has been confirmed, it’s best to order spare parts with the F976 reference, whether you’re an individual or work in a repair shop. This helps you avoid returns because of a camera frame that doesn’t fit or a connector that doesn’t match.

Another useful point: the fingerprint reader is integrated into the side power button, not the back or under the display. Replacing the back cover doesn’t affect the biometric system, making this repair easier than on some other phones. As for water resistance, the phone leaves the factory with an IP48 rating, but after it has been opened, protection depends on resealing, so it cannot be assumed to remain intact.

Frequently asked questions about buying replacement parts for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra

Is the Galaxy Z Fold8 back cover compatible with the Ultra?

No. The standard Fold8 (SM-F971) has different dimensions and only two rear cameras, while the Ultra has three. The back cover and camera frame in this category are designed for the SM-F976 series.

Can I fit a Galaxy Z Fold7 back cover to my Fold 8 Ultra?

Although they look quite similar on the outside, the camera module has changed with the new 50 MP ultra-wide camera, and compatibility between the two covers has not been confirmed. To make sure the frame and cut-outs fit, choose the back cover specifically for the F976.

Does replacing the back cover affect the fingerprint sensor?

No, as the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra’s fingerprint sensor is located in the power button on the side of the frame. The back cover is separate from the unlocking system.

Will my phone still be water-resistant after the replacement?

It has an IP48 rating from the factory, which depends on the original adhesives and seals. Once the phone has been opened, protection depends on how the new adhesive is applied, so it cannot be guaranteed to remain intact.

Are these parts suitable for the SM-F976U and SM-F976U1 versions?

The spare parts in this category are listed for the F976 series, which includes the B, B/DS, U and U1 versions. If you have a US unit, compare the part you’re replacing with the one shown in the product listing before fitting it.
