very different While the Wide Fold looks visually the most interesting, it could also be quite niche Samsung is probably going to launch two book-style foldable phones this year, with the expected Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 likely
to be joined by the Samsung Galaxy Wide Fold, and weve just had a somewhat official look at both of them.

You see, Samsung has included images of both devices in its One UI 9
software, and while these images arent currently intended to be user-facing, Android Authority has managed to dig them up. As you can see in the images below, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 (codenamed Q8) looks very similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 , with a triple-lens camera on the back and a
slightly narrow cover screen. Visually, theres really nothing of note here,
so this could be a boring upgrade. Article continues below You may like The design of Samsung's competitor to the iPhone Fold may have just leaked

But the Samsung Galaxy Wide Fold (codenamed H8) is far more interesting, with just a dual-lens camera but a much wider cover screen, looking like it could almost match a small tablet even when folded shut. Image 1 of 2 A leaked

surprising in that sense, but it is the closest thing yet to an official look at the Galaxy Wide Fold, and its drastically different from any foldable
phone that Samsung has launched so far.

Yes, theres the Samsung Galaxy Z Trifold , which has a wide foldable screen, but that has three sections, and the cover screen is still quite narrow and phone-like, so its a fundamentally different proposition to the device shown here. A questionable design Whether the Samsung Galaxy Wide Fold will be a
hit with a design like this, though, very much remains to be seen. After all, foldables are still a bit niche, and this design would mean it cant quite match a phones form factor even when folded. Personally, Im not sold on it, but I do approve of brands experimenting with new designs.

And with the foldable iPhone Ultra reportedly launching this year too, we could be on the cusp of foldable phones becoming more mainstream, at which point there might be more appetite for a phone like this.

As far as the Samsung Galaxy Wide Fold goes, we should learn exactly what it has to offer in July, as thats when its likely to land, alongside the Galaxy
Z Fold 8, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8, and perhaps the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip
