- The "Wide" variant aims to provide a more traditional smartphone experience on the cover display, with a near-square 4:3 inner screen for enhanced tablet-like productivity.
- Comparisons with the Huawei Pura X Max suggest the Fold 8 Wide will be narrower when closed and wider when opened.
- The device is expected to have a 5.4-inch cover display and a 7.6-inch inner panel, focusing on a sleek design.
- To maintain its form factor, the Fold 8 Wide may drop the telephoto lens, opting for a dual-camera setup instead.
