This upcoming launch could completely change how we look at Samsung foldables. Supply chain leakers have dropped a massive wave of exciting details ahead of the official Unpacked announcement. Here are 5 features worth looking forward to with this phone.
Significantly improved crease

Apparently, the initial plan was to stick with the Z Fold 7-like crease, which is almost not there anyway, but according to these rumors Samsung may have managed to push things even further. The crease is still going to be there, but reportedly, you may not be able to feel it.
Smaller 7.6-inch display and wider aspect ratio
This size should make the phone easier to carry in a pocket. The first foldable iPhone is also rumored to come with the same, wider 4:3 aspect ratio.

45 W charging and a 4,800 mAh battery
The Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide is also rumored to come with upgraded charging in comparison to the Galaxy Z Fold 7. The phone may come with 45 W wired charging speeds and a generous 4,800 mAh battery cell.
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 supported just 25 W wired charging, so this upgrade should ensure even speedier charging. With this big rumored battery, the phone is shaping up to bring reliable battery life of around a day or even more, depending on your usage.
Dual camera: 50 MP main, 50 MP ultra-wide

The wide Galaxy Z Fold 8‘s camera array is reportedly going to be a bit more modest than the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra’s setup. The Ultra model serves as the direct successor to the premium Z Fold 7 camera tier. Because of this strategic change, the Wide model will likely drop the telephoto zoom sensor entirely.
