Overview
- India’s BIS database listings, reported by SammyGuru, link battery model numbers to the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Z Flip 8, and a new Wide Fold, suggesting hardware is close to final.
- A leaked One UI 9 firmware for model SM-F917B, cited by Android Headlines, points to a 4:3 inner display on the Wide variant for a more tablet-like layout.
- Reports indicate the Wide model targets Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 performance and 45W wired charging, with leaks also pointing to roughly 5,000 mAh batteries for the larger Folds.
- The Wide Fold is tipped to use a 5.4-inch cover screen and a 7.6-inch inner panel, possibly with a dual rear camera and a thicker fold due to the camera bump.
- Coverage pegs a likely July Unpacked reveal and pricing near $2,000, though Samsung has not confirmed specs, timing, or cost, and regulatory listings alone do not guarantee final features.
