Overview
- One UI 9 firmware images surfaced Tuesday showing the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and a new Wide Fold, giving the clearest official‑looking confirmation yet of two distinct book‑style designs.
- The Wide Fold appears shorter and wider with a tablet‑like inner screen and only two rear cameras, with reports pointing to 200MP main and 50MP ultrawide sensors.
- Separate leaks tip the Galaxy Z Flip 8 to use a redesigned hinge and a near crease‑free inner display that reduces the visible fold line while cutting weight to about 180 grams.
- Reports indicate the Flip 8 keeps the Flip 7’s 4,300mAh battery, 25W charging, and camera setup, with an Exynos 2600 chip and Android 17‑based One UI 9 expected at launch.
- Multiple outlets cite a July Unpacked event in London for the Flip 8, Fold 8, and Wide Fold and mention a possible slight Flip 8 price rise in South Korea, though Samsung has not confirmed any details.
