Galaxy Z Fold 8 release date, 'Ultra' impressions leak
Key Points:
- Leaks reveal that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 series includes two models: the "Ultra," similar in design to the Galaxy Z Fold 7, and a new standard model with a wider inner display.
- Hands-on impressions highlight the wider model's unique form factor, describing its "perceived weight" as surprisingly substantial despite no actual weight increase, suggesting a fresh design approach.
- The "Ultra" model's name is questioned due to minimal differences from the wider device, mainly better display pixels and a less pronounced crease achieved with thicker ultra-thin glass.
- The Galaxy Z Fold 8 series is expected to launch in stores on August 7, likely in Korea, with Samsung's pre-registration period shortened and pre-order perks adjusted, including conditions on the doubled storage offer.
- Samsung plans to officially announce the Galaxy Z Fold 8 devices on July 22.
