New Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide Dummy Unit Shows Off Its 'Insane Thinness', and Tells Us Just How Worried Samsung Is About the iPhone Fold
Sonny Dickson’s leak suggests Samsung is reworking the cover screen and folded profile, with the dummy unit compared to an S25 Edge thin when folded.
- Well-Known tipster Sonny Dickson leaked a dummy unit of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide, revealing a remarkably thin frame that marks a departure from current narrow book-style foldables.
- The 'Wide' nomenclature describes a shorter, broader aspect ratio for the phone display when opened or closed, as Samsung reworks the cover screen shape to improve usability beyond thickness alone.
- Dickson compared the device's thinness to the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge when folded, estimating a profile under 6mm; however, the dummy unit cannot confirm engineering details like hinge strength or battery capacity.
- Samsung is expected to sell the wider device as the Galaxy Z Fold 8, while the narrow version becomes the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, with both models anticipated to launch in late July.
- Following the original Pixel Fold's success with broader shapes, Apple is also rumored to be exploring similar foldable designs, signaling a larger industry shift toward squarer devices away from tall, narrow formats.
