Samsung launches Galaxy Z Fold 8 with wider, crease‑less display and new AI features

Samsung is set to announce its next‑generation foldable lineup at the Galaxy Unpacked event slated for late July. The centerpiece, the Galaxy Z Fold 8, is rumored to feature a 7.6‑inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner display with a 4:3 aspect ratio and a 5.5‑inch cover screen at 16:10, delivering a shorter, wider form factor. Leaks also suggest a crease‑less inner panel and a more robust hinge, addressing long‑standing complaints about the visible fold line.

Specifications disclosed by reliable tipsters include a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy processor, 12 GB RAM, up to 1 TB storage, a dual 50 MP rear‑camera system, and a 4,800 mAh battery supporting 45 W wired charging. The device is expected to weigh about 201 g, making it lighter than previous Fold models. Samsung’s official teaser campaign highlights the “New Shape, New Joy” theme, emphasizing the redesigned dimensions and expanded AI capabilities for multitasking and productivity. Alongside the standard Fold 8, the event may also reveal a wider Fold 8 Ultra (or “Wide”) variant and the Galaxy Z Flip 8, as well as next‑generation Galaxy Watch 9 models.
