Galaxy Z Fold 8’s wider new form factor just showed up in the wild

Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 8 is debuting a wider form factor we’ve not seen on Android in a few years and, ahead of its launch, the device has been spotted in the wild.

Posted to DCInside, a zoomed-in shot of someone using a wider-than-average foldable with two cameras on the back is very likely our first real-world look at a working Galaxy Z Fold 8 – the device previously referred to as “Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide” – which has so far only leaked in renders and dummy units.

The device appears to be within a protective case, making it look thicker when folded, but we can still see the aspect ratio and the pair of rear cameras here. It also gives us a better idea of what the new form factor looks like in terms of size, with the device fitting pretty neatly in the hand of the person holding it.

But, really, that’s about all we can gather from this latest leak.

Samsung is expected to launch this device as the “Galaxy Z Fold 8,” with the standard tall-and-narrow form factor we’re used to seeing being rebranded as the “Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra.” Both devices are expected to launch on July 22.
