Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Fold 8 Ultra & Z Flip 8: Everything We Know from Leaks

Recent case leaks, screen protector images, and regulatory filings give us the clearest picture yet of Samsung's 2026 foldable lineup. Here is what the rumors — and the evidence — suggest is coming.

Galaxy Unpacked 2026: Date, Location, and Expected Lineup

The summer Galaxy Unpacked event is widely reported for July 22, 2026, in London . Korea Economic Daily TV first surfaced the date, and multiple outlets — including Forbes, Tom's Guide, and Engadget — have independently reported the same . Samsung itself has not yet officially confirmed the date or location .

The event is expected to feature three foldable phones: the Galaxy Z Fold 8 (often called "Wide"), the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, and the Galaxy Z Flip 8 . Possible Watch and Galaxy Glasses announcements may also appear . If Samsung follows its typical cadence, pre-orders open on the day of the event, with shipments arriving around two weeks later — roughly August 7, 2026 for this generation .

Galaxy Z Fold 8 ("Wide"): Samsung's New Form Factor

Leaks consistently refer to the standard book-style model as the Galaxy Z Fold 8 "Wide" — a new naming convention that reflects its dramatically wider form factor . The biggest change is the display.

Display and Dimensions

Leaked screen protectors and case molds show a nearly square, 4:3 aspect ratio internal display when unfolded. According to dimensions that have circulated from multiple sources, it will measure approximately 161.4mm wide × 123.9mm tall when opened — wider than it is tall, a proportion no mainstream book-style foldable has shipped with before . The inner display is reported at 7.6 inches . The cover screen is correspondingly wider, addressing the "cramped" feel of earlier Folds .

Leaked dimensions suggest the device is roughly 4.3mm thick when unfolded, 9.8mm when folded, and around 200g — lighter than the Galaxy Z Fold 7 .

Cameras and Specs

• Rear cameras: A dual-camera setup, housed in a pill-shaped module . Some reports suggest a 50MP primary and 50MP ultrawide, without a telephoto lens .
• Chipset: Expected to use Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 .
• Battery and charging: Regulatory filings show Qi2-style magnetic rings on official cases, confirming wireless charging support. 45W wired charging is tipped, along with battery capacity improvements .
• S Pen: Reports indicate S Pen support will return .

Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra: The Traditional Flagship

The Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is positioned as the flagship successor to the Z Fold 7 — the higher-end, conventional-width book-style foldable, distinct from the new "Wide" model .

Design

• Narrower than the Wide: The Ultra keeps a more traditional Fold aspect ratio, roughly similar to the Z Fold 7's proportions .
• Triple rear cameras: The Ultra is expected to retain three rear sensors — a key differentiator from the dual-camera standard Wide .
• Same general design language as the Wide, but in a slimmer, less wide body.

Specs and Accessories

• Chipset: Same Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 as the Fold 8 Wide .
• Cases: Leaked aramid fiber case options in black, red, and blue, each with a built-in kickstand . Qi2 magnetic ring support confirmed via official case regulatory filings .

Galaxy Z Flip 8: Refined Clamshell

Design Changes

• New cover screen shape: Leaked screen protector images show a larger cover display with a single, elongated cutout for the cameras — replacing the individual circular cutouts used on the Z Flip 7 .
• New hinge design: Rumored to be a significant mechanical improvement that reduces the display crease .
• Dimensions (from OnLeaks CAD renders, April 2026): Exact dimensions were published by OnLeaks in collaboration with MyMobiles, confirming overall design language and hinge changes .

Expected Specs

• Chipset: Some leaks suggest the Flip 8 could use an Exynos 2600 chip rather than Snapdragon, unlike the book-style Fold models . However, this is not settled; Samsung may use Snapdragon in select regions .
• Charging: Reportedly no upgrade over the Z Flip 7 — staying at the same 25W wired speeds .

Key Source Reliability at a Glance

Claim	Reliability
July 22 London Unpacked	High — multiple reliable outlets converged; Samsung hasn't officially confirmed
Z Fold 8 "Wide" 4:3 display dimensions	Medium-high — consistent across screen protector and case leaks
Z Fold 8 Ultra triple cameras	Medium — based on case cutouts, not official
Qi2 magnetic charging on official cases	High — regulatory filings and certified case images support this
Z Flip 8 crease-reducing hinge	Medium — rumored; no hands-on confirmation
Snapdragon vs Exynos chip split	Low-medium — conflicting leaks; not settled

The Bottom Line

Samsung has not made any official announcements about these devices. All details above are based on leaked case molds, regulatory filings, screen protector images, and industry reporting as of late June 2026. The rumor convergence is unusually strong on the July 22 Unpacked date and the wider Fold 8 design, but as always with leaks, treat everything with healthy skepticism until Samsung makes it official.
