Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Leaks Flag Smaller Cover Camera Hole and a New 4:3 ‘Wide’ Model

The changes point to a tablet-style direction that remains unconfirmed by Samsung.

Overview

  • Ice Universe, which posted new details Friday, says the Fold 8’s cover selfie cutout drops to 2.5mm from 3.7mm, with no clear word on any change to the inner camera.
  • Leaked specs for a Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide list a 4:3 inner screen, a 4.7:3 cover screen, and dimensions of about 161.4 x 123.9 x 4.3mm unfolded and 161.4 x 82.2 x 9.8mm folded.
  • Comparisons across outlets note the Wide model’s thinner profile than Huawei’s new Pura X Max, which could make the device easier to hold and better for reading and apps.
  • Reports also suggest the standard Fold 8 may be slightly thicker than the Fold 7, indicating small design tweaks rather than a full redesign.
  • A second tipster attributes the smaller hole to updated display drilling and high‑refractive‑index lenses, though that technical explanation is unverified, and both Fold 8 models are still expected at a rumored July Unpacked event.
