Samsung details Galaxy Z Fold 8 foldable smartphone launch

Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 8 has been the focus of recent leaks and official images. Rumors of a placeholder name “Galaxy New Fold” sparked skepticism, but confirmed specifications show a 5.4‑inch outer OLED display and a 7.6‑inch inner panel, both with up to 120 Hz refresh rates. The device will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, feature a dual 50 MP camera system and a 4 800 mAh battery. Samsung plans to unveil the Fold 8, its wider‑format “Fold 8 Wide” variant and an Ultra model at the end of July 2026.

A Polish weekly smartphone roundup highlighted other market moves, including the debut of the Vivo X Fold 6 in China, Honor X80 Pro Max’s 11 000 mAh battery, and upcoming budget devices from Samsung and Nothing. Parallel coverage examined the used‑iPhone market, noting that Apple‑approved refurbishers replace batteries that fall below 80 % capacity and grade devices from “Premium” (new battery) to “Standard” (visible wear). The guide advises buyers to check battery health via Settings → Battery → Battery Capacity.

Together, these reports illustrate a busy period for foldable phones and renewed consumer interest in refurbished smartphones as a cost‑effective alternative to new flagship models.
