Leaked images published by Android Headlines offer the clearest look yet at Samsung's upcoming foldable lineup, including a new wide-style Galaxy Z Fold 8 that adopts a passport-like form factor. The images, republished by Gizmodo and The Verge, show case designs for the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Z Fold 8 Ultra, and Z Flip 8, providing a glimpse of the devices themselves.
The wide foldable, which could be named the Galaxy Z Fold 8, features a 5.4-inch cover display and a 7.6-inch inner screen, both with 120Hz refresh rates Source: Gizmodo. It is expected to be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy chip, with a 4,800mAh battery supporting 45W wired and 25W wireless charging Source: Gizmodo. Unlike the more traditional Z Fold 8 Ultra, the wide version has only two rear cameras—a 50-megapixel main and a 50-megapixel ultrawide—instead of three Source: The Verge.
There is some confusion over naming: recent leaks suggest the wide phone may be called the Z Fold 8, while the narrower book-style foldable could be rebranded as the Z Fold 8 Ultra Source: The Verge. Samsung is expected to unveil these devices at a Galaxy Unpacked event reportedly scheduled for July 22nd, ahead of Apple's anticipated foldable iPhone launch in September Source: The Verge.
