This smartphone is referred to as the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide and Galaxy Z Fold 8 up to this point. One rumor suggested that it will be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8, while the Galaxy Z Fold 7’s successor will use the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra name.
That doesn’t sound right, though you never know with Samsung. So, for the time being, we’ll still refer to the phone as the wide foldable from Samsung, or something of the sort, to avoid any confusion.
July 22 could be the launch date, but nothing has been confirmed just yet
This smartphone is expected to see the light of day in July. July 22 is actually tipped as the date for Samsung’s second Unpacked event of the year, though nothing has been officially confirmed just yet.
We were the first to show you the design of this phone, thanks to CAD-based renders. It will be shorter and wider than the Galaxy Z Fold 8, while it will also have two rear cameras, not three.
This smartphone is coming to compete directly with the likes of the iPhone Ultra, Apple’s very first foldable smartphone. That device will also have a wide profile. Other smartphone OEMs are allegedly working on similar devices, including OPPO, HONOR, Xiaomi, and more.
This will be a powerful smartphone, as it’s tipped to use the same flagship chip from Qualcomm as the Galaxy Z Fold 8. More info is expected to pop up soon.
