Early leaks talk about Samsung's upcoming foldable phone, the Galaxy Z Fold 8. We hear about its screen, processor, battery, and camera. Samsung might make the Galaxy Z Fold 8 wider and lighter. This would make it easier to use than the current Galaxy Z Fold 7.
This is a bit strange. Rumors say Samsung will announce two new foldable phones. One will be a successor to the Galaxy Z Fold 7. The other will be a wider version. This wider version could compete with Apple's first foldable iPhone. This comes from a report by Android Headlines.
So far, most rumors point to two different foldable phones. But this is still not confirmed.
A Lighter Design and Bigger Battery
Leaks suggest the new, wider model might have an 8-inch screen. This larger screen would be better for watching videos. It has a bigger screen ratio.
Samsung may use a new frame made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic. This material is light. It will help make the phone lighter, according to leaks.
Leaks also suggest the phone will use a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor. It might have a 5,000mAh battery. The main camera could be 200 megapixels.
Both rumored Galaxy Z Fold 8 models might use a Qualcomm flagship chip. The 200-megapixel main camera is also expected, like on the Galaxy Z Fold 7.
However, the 5,000mAh battery would be a big upgrade. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 has a 4,400mAh battery. A 600mAh increase would be very welcome.
The Galaxy Z Fold 8 is expected in July. This is if Samsung follows its usual yearly launch schedule. The wider version might launch at the same time or later.
