The upcoming foldable devices from Samsung might have been revealed through its own software.

      Samsung’s software indicates a wider foldable device is in development.

      Samsung's Galaxy phones typically don't remain concealed until their release. Leaks often unveil renders, specifications, and software hints months prior to the Unpacked event. This seems to be the case with the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and the rumored Z Fold 8 Wide, which have allegedly surfaced within a One UI 9 build.

      As reported by Android Authority, images of two upcoming Samsung foldables were discovered in a One UI 9 build. One is believed to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, identified by the codename Q8, while the other is referred to as the Z Fold 8 Wide, codenamed H8. Since Samsung has yet to officially announce either device, these details should be regarded as leaks rather than verified facts.

      Is Samsung's wide foldable finally moving away from the traditional Fold design?

      The Z Fold 8 Wide stands out more prominently in the leak. The software image is said to depict a shorter and wider body, a compact cover display, and a rear camera design resembling that of the Galaxy S25 Edge. This description aligns with the renders provided by Android Headlines.

      Previous reports have suggested that Samsung's wide foldable could feature a 7.6-inch inner OLED display, a 5.4-inch cover screen, a wider 4:3-style format, a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, and a dual-cell battery with an approximate capacity of 4,800mAh. Additionally, it has been reported that the device may support magnetic Qi2 charging.

      Will the Galaxy Z Fold 8 offer significant upgrades internally?

      The Galaxy Z Fold 8 appears to be a more traditional upgrade. The leaked software image reportedly shows a device closely resembling the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which aligns with previous unofficial renders suggesting only minimal external changes. Earlier leaks have indicated a 5,000mAh battery and 45W wired charging, two enhancements that could address frequent criticisms of Samsung's book-style foldables.

      While the Galaxy Z Flip 8 was not included in the One UI 9 images noted in this leak, Samsung is still anticipated to unveil its next clamshell foldable alongside the Fold 8 series around July. Recent reports indicate that the Flip 8 may see a smaller improvement in battery capacity, with Samsung likely retaining a 4,300mAh battery and 25W wired charging. This would maintain one of the older compromises of the Flip series, especially as rival flip phones like the Razr Ultra 2026 are advancing with larger batteries and quicker charging options.
