TL;DR
- New CAD-based renders attempt to show off Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 8.
- Compared to the Z Fold 7, this year’s model may arrive slightly thicker.
- Other hardware changes include battery upgrades, a higher-res ultrawide camera, and possible S Pen support.
Right now is arguably the most exciting time yet to be a fan of foldable-screen smartphones, with a mature industry that’s started to show its confidence through the introduction of some experimental new designs. For Samsung in 2026, that looks like it’s going to mean expanding its lineup to include not just the Galaxy Z Fold 8, but also a new, wider Fold. We just got our first good look at how that Wide Fold hardware could come together last month, and now we’re turning our attention to the next generation of the standard Galaxy Z Fold.
