call the phone the 'Galaxy New Fold' Fans have cast doubt over whether these are the real deal One of the big questions surrounding Samsungs rumored wider foldable is what it will actually be called.

Early leaks referred to it as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide, but then more recently, we heard that it might simply launch as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold
8, with the direct successor to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 now being called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra. Now, though, another possibility has emerged. Some leaked images have been shared on X by Mohammed Khatri and @thinborne showing packaging for seemingly official cases for the phone, which here is listed as the Samsung Galaxy New Fold.

But there are reasons to doubt this name, as while the photos are probably real, theres a high chance the products they show are knock-offs from China.

It looks genuine, but can't confirm its authenticity pic.twitter.com/Cze4QxkxBp June 27, 2026 As one Reddit commenter purported: These are fake cases made by Chinese companies sold through eBay, temu, shein, ali express, etc... they copy Samsung boxes well, but they don't know the new name of the fold wide,
so you can see that on the box where it's just called new fold. Samsung would never do that.

Another Reddit poster agreed, writing, I've seen cases like that appear all over Aliexpress and almost all of them are knockoffs with the Samsung logo on them.

And on top of all that, these are supposedly Kindsuit cases, which are a
style of case that Samsung offers for last years flagship phones, but not for the Samsung Galaxy S26 series. So theres some doubt over whether the companys upcoming foldables would get this style of case.

We'll find out soon On the other hand, questionable name aside, these do look like they could be official Samsung cases, so we cant completely rule out the possibility that this will be the wider foldables official name.

But it would seem an odd choice, as subsequent wide models will no longer be new in the same sense, so it would quickly become a clunky naming scheme.

Well probably find out very soon anyway, as Samsung is rumored to be
launching its next batch of foldables on July 22. Today's best Samsung Galaxy deals Contract Deals Sim Free Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge 36 months Unlimited
