Overview
- Leaker Sonny Dickson shared images of alleged dummy units for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide, Fold 8, and Flip 8, offering a clear side‑by‑side look at the lineup.
- The Wide model appears much shorter and wider than the standard Fold, matching reports of an inner display near a 4:3 aspect ratio and an outer screen like the original Pixel Fold.
- Round markings on the back of the dummies indicate rings for wireless charging hardware, which 9to5Google reads as a sign Samsung may skip Qi2 magnets, while SamMobile says the magnets could be hidden in final devices.
- Reporting still suggests the regular Fold 8 will see minimal design changes, with the new Galaxy Z phones reportedly targeting a July 22 launch that Samsung has not confirmed.
- Industry watchers say the wider book‑style variant could be Samsung’s play to meet interest in a possible Apple foldable and to split its foldable line between a familiar Fold and the new Wide.
