Overview
- Late‑May dummy videos, renders and case leaks showed a new shorter, wider Fold with an estimated 7.6‑inch, 4:3 inner display and an unusually slim folded profile.
- A prominent tipster said Samsung has quietly renamed the pair so the wide model would be called Galaxy Z Fold 8 and the taller successor Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, but Samsung has not confirmed the names.
- Leakers claim Samsung Display panels for the series will greatly reduce the fold crease, with some saying crease control could match the Oppo Find N6, though that remains unverified.
- Reported hardware differences are mixed across leaks: the Ultra is said to pack a larger battery and triple cameras while the wide Fold may use a slightly smaller battery and two rear cameras, and chipset leaks alternate between Qualcomm and Exynos options.
- Multiple outlets point to a Galaxy Unpacked event in July, widely citing July 22 for the announcement, but final model names, specs and pricing have not been announced by Samsung.
