Most releases were very minor tweaks of the previous year&#8217;s design, and Samsung wasn&#8217;t pushing specs like it used to. But last year&#8217;s Galaxy Z Fold 7 changed that when it debuted as the thinnest foldable of all time, and Samsung apparently isn&#8217;t done making major design changes for 2026&#8217;s rumored release.<\/p>\n<p>The Galaxy Z Fold 8 is rumored to debut in two sizes for the first time, and it appears to follow an industry trend of making book-style foldables wider rather than taller. If you don&#8217;t like that trend, that&#8217;s OK, because Samsung is allegedly going to offer both a tall and wide variant of the Z Fold 8, with a few other changes in store.<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-5663fc63-493a-4144-a873-0c90b0a3f7c6-2\">Is it worth waiting for the Galaxy Z Fold 8? Considering we&#8217;re expecting to see the unveiling in just a few weeks on July 22 (per rumors), I&#8217;d say there&#8217;s no reason to rush into a buying decision until then.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"inline-flex items-center gap-1.5 text-sm font-article-heading capitalize leading-5 text-white whitespace-nowrap\"><span class=\"jwp-carousel-title-mobile\"\/><span class=\"jwp-carousel-title-desktop\">Latest Videos From<\/span><span class=\"jwp-carousel-brand inline-flex items-center\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/span><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" data-new-v2-image=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/flexiimages\/c8t5znsqpd1648225513.svg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/flexiimages\/c8t5znsqpd1648225513.svg\" class=\"rounded-[var(--image--border-radius,0)] max-h-12 w-auto\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s best foldable deals<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-changes-do-we-expect-for-the-samsung-galaxy-z-fold-8-3\">What changes do we expect for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.23%;\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"samsung galaxy z fold 8 leaked render\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/4jtRj7RFPxNCsXvhau5YeB-1200-80.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/4jtRj7RFPxNCsXvhau5YeB-1024-80.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/4jtRj7RFPxNCsXvhau5YeB-970-80.jpg 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/4jtRj7RFPxNCsXvhau5YeB-650-80.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/4jtRj7RFPxNCsXvhau5YeB-480-80.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/4jtRj7RFPxNCsXvhau5YeB-320-80.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" loading=\"lazy\" data-new-v2-image=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/4jtRj7RFPxNCsXvhau5YeB.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/4jtRj7RFPxNCsXvhau5YeB.jpg\" class=\"rounded-[var(--image--border-radius,0)] inline\"\/>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: OnLeaks \/ Android Headlines)<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-bc9fded2-6159-4bc6-8792-d4e1b1ca1811\">While the Galaxy Z Fold 8 family is sure to receive the latest round of Qualcomm processors, the rumored size changes are apparently making Samsung consider a bit of a name change to the Z Fold 8. Here&#8217;s what we expect to see:<\/p>\n<ul id=\"elk-b467e286-1943-4746-b972-6e559a6522cd\">\n<li><strong>The Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra: <\/strong>This one&#8217;s the &#8220;true&#8221; successor to the Z Fold 7 and is said to look nearly identical to that phone. Same tall dimensions, three cameras on the back, and top-tier specs with a slightly larger battery than last year. This one&#8217;s rumored to be 2mm thicker than the Z Fold 7.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Galaxy Z Fold 8:<\/strong> The standard Z Fold 8 is said to be the wider model, which essentially looks like someone took a Z Fold 7 and squashed it down. This is supposed to be more of a passport shape, allegedly only has room for two rear cameras, and likely has a smaller battery than the Ultra.<\/li>\n<li><strong>S Pen support<\/strong> is rumored to be added to at least one of these models.
