Overview
- Samsung is widely reported to launch the Galaxy Z Fold 8 lineup in July, with a new Z Fold 8 Wide variant that adopts a shorter, wider 4:3-style inner screen based on case images and listings.
- New details on the Z Fold 8 Wide describe a dual 50MP rear camera setup with F1.8 and F1.9 lenses, two 10MP front cameras, a Dark Green signature color, and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 with at least 12GB of RAM.
- Apple’s first foldable, often referred to as the iPhone Ultra or iPhone Fold, is still expected in September 2026, with mockups and dummy units showing a compact, passport-like exterior that opens to an iPad mini–like display.
- Multiple reports say Apple plans a very limited launch palette—likely silver/white and a deep indigo—with rumors pointing to a 7.8-inch inner screen, a 5.5-inch cover display, side-mounted Touch ID, and a large battery, though all specs remain unconfirmed.
- Tipsters say vivo, OPPO, and HONOR are developing wider foldables as well, and analysts warn Apple’s early production yields could constrain supply and color choices, which could leave early buyers facing tight availability and higher prices near $2,000.
