Overview
- One UI 9 assets found Tuesday by Android Authority show both the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and a new shorter, wider “Wide Fold,” with graphics that align with earlier CAD renders and indicate a dual‑camera layout on the Wide model.
- The standard Z Fold 8 appears to keep a slimmer, taller look with three rear cameras, and reports point to a larger 5,000mAh battery and 45W charging compared with prior models.
- Leaks for the clamshell Galaxy Z Flip 8 describe a new hinge and a near crease‑free inner panel, a slightly wider body, and lower weight around 180g, while keeping a 4,300mAh battery, 25W wired charging, and a familiar 50MP+12MP camera setup.
- Spec sheets from multiple outlets tip Samsung’s Exynos 2600 for the Flip 8 with 12GB of RAM and Android 17‑based One UI 9, while the Fold 8 line is expected to use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy and offer up to seven years of software support.
- A July 22 London Unpacked date is widely reported but unconfirmed, and pricing is expected to be similar or slightly higher than last year with rumors placing Flip 8 near $949.99 and Fold 8 near $1,999.99 as Samsung responds to wider‑format rivals.
