Samsung's next Galaxy Unpacked event is just days away, and with it comes the most significant redesign in the Galaxy Z Fold lineup's history. On July 22, 2026, in London, the company is expected to unveil at least two new foldable phones: the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 — a radically shorter, wider device often called the "passport fold" or "Wide Fold" — and the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, which largely carries forward the design of last year's Galaxy Z Fold 7. Here is a fact-checked, sourced roundup of everything that is confirmed, strongly leaked, or still speculative as of mid-July 2026.

What should I do next in practice?
A Spider Man themed teaser exists [25], confirming the wider form factor. This was not included in the initial answer's summary, but verified as a real Samsung teaser.
The single biggest change is the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8's new form factor. Multiple reliable leaks and official teasers from Samsung strongly corroborate a wider, shorter "passport-style" chassis .
Outer display: Approximately 5.4 inches, landscape-oriented for more conventional one-handed use .
Inner display:7.6 inches with a 4:3 aspect ratio, making the unfolded device feel more like a small tablet .
Dimensions (leaked renders): 158.4 x 143.2 x 4.5mm unfolded; 158.4 x 72.8 x 9mm folded .
Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra: The Ultra model is expected to keep the same shape as the Galaxy Z Fold 7 — taller and narrower — rather than adopting the new wide form factor .
Official Teaser Campaign
Starting July 1, 2026, Samsung released a series of cryptic video teasers. These clips show everyday objects — a broken chocolate bar, an incomplete puzzle — that all hint at a device that is much wider and shorter than the current Fold . A July 8 teaser on X shows a rectangular "ticket" that is cropped into a wide rectangle, which many outlets interpreted as a direct reference to the wide Fold design .
However, none of Samsung's official teasers have shown the phone itself.
A Note on the "Spider-Man Teaser"
The original user query asked about a "Spider-Man teaser." A teaser featuring Spider-Man does exist. Android Central reported on a July 9 teaser showing a Spider-Man postcard with the text "A brand new shape is coming," which tears to reveal the new Spider-Man movie logo . This report confirms the wider form factor is indeed a central theme of Samsung's marketing.
South Korean Retail Store Leaks
Leaked images from South Korean stores have circulated online, showing what appear to be retail packaging for the new wide Fold 8 and the Fold 8 Ultra . These images, cited by multiple outlets, are considered strong but still unofficial evidence of the final production design.
