Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Leaks Flag Smaller Cover Camera Hole and a New Wider Variant

Tipsters credit display and lens tweaks that target a cleaner screen before a rumored summer launch.

Overview

  • Ice Universe, who posted Friday, says the Fold 8’s cover display camera cutout will drop to about 2.5mm from 3.7mm on the Fold 7.
  • The leak points only to the outer screen, and outlets note it is unclear whether the inner selfie camera opening will shrink as well.
  • A separate report outlines a Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide with an iPad‑like 4:3 inner screen and leaked dimensions of 161.4 x 123.9 x 4.3mm unfolded and 161.4 x 82.2 x 9.8mm folded.
  • Another tipster attributes the smaller hole to improved Hole‑in‑Active‑Area manufacturing and high‑refractive‑index lenses, with some sensors possibly moving under the display, which would let Samsung tighten the opening without changing the camera hardware.
  • Samsung has not confirmed these details, and coverage frames the lineup for an unannounced Unpacked in late July as the market shifts toward wider, more tablet‑like foldables that can make apps and reading feel more natural on the big screen.
