Overview
- A Chinese safety certification confirms a distinct Wide variant and shows 45W wired charging for the Fold 8 lineup.
- Reporters expect a July–August Unpacked reveal and cast the wider form as Samsung’s response to a rumored Apple foldable.
- CAD renders from OnLeaks and Android Headlines depict a squat build with a 7.6-inch inner display and a 5.4-inch cover screen in more tablet-like proportions.
- The Wide model is shown with two rear cameras instead of the standard Fold 8’s three-lens array, signaling a trade-off for the new shape.
- Leaks attribute Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and roughly a 5,000mAh battery to the Wide model, though Samsung has not confirmed final specs.
