– Fold8 to be thinner (4.1 mm) and lighter (210 g) with a larger 5,000 mAh battery and 45W charging; remains with 200 MP main cam and two 10 MP selfies, but adds a rumored upgraded 50 MP ultra-wide.
– Fold8 Wide reportedly lacks a telephoto camera, sports a 50 MP main and 50 MP ultra-wide, 4,800 mAh battery with 45W charging, and a 7.6-inch 4:3 display around 200 g.
– Both models are expected to use a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, with pricing details not yet disclosed.
The rumors have spilled a little more about the cameras on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Wide, and TechManiacs says they dug up further details about what the Fold8 and Fold8 Wide might bring. While rumors should always be taken with a pinch of salt, most of these points line up with what has been floated before, so readers can still find some plausibility here.
Bold claims about the Fold8’s build and power
Industry chatter suggests the Galaxy Z Fold8 will shed some thickness and weight compared to the Fold7, landing around 4.1 millimeters and 210 grams. In exchange, it allegedly hosts a roughly 14 percent larger battery at 5,000 mAh, and this unit could support 45-watt charging, a step up from the prior 25-watt rate. The cadence of these tweaks hints at a push toward endurance and faster top-ups, though exact charging behavior may depend on thermal design and software optimizations.
The same whispers point to a new Qualcomm flagship chip for the Fold8, specifically the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, paired with an improved 50 MP ultra-wide camera. However, the main draw is claimed to remain a 200 MP sensor, with two 10 MP selfie cameras retained from the Fold7. Yet, there is no clarity yet on any telephoto improvements, and TechManiacs does not reveal any extra detail on that front.
A compact Fold8 Wide with its own camera story
Details on the Galaxy Z Fold8 Wide are sparser, but what is known describes a more compact and likely lower-cost option in the foldable lineup. It is said to feature a 50 MP main camera along with a 50 MP ultra-wide camera, and notably, it seems to omit a telephoto lens. Its battery is pegged at 4,800 mAh, a touch smaller than the Fold8, yet capable of 45-watt charging as well, which would keep charging parity between the two models.
The Fold8 Wide is anticipated to sport a 7.6-inch display with a 4:3 aspect ratio and a weight around 200 grams, aiming for a balance between portability and screen real estate. As with its sibling, pricing remains undisclosed, and those figures are still to be determined by Samsung ahead of any official unveiling.
