Galaxy Z Fold8 Design Officially Confirmed
The teasers carry the tagline “New Shape. New Joy.” and repeatedly showcase a large rectangular shape transforming into a much boxier and wider shape. While Samsung never directly reveals the device, the animations strongly suggest that the company is teasing the Galaxy Z Fold8’s wider design.
Interestingly, none of the teasers focus on the clamshell form factor or the Ultra model. Samsung’s entire campaign so far revolves around this new shape, making it fairly clear that the wider Fold8 will be one of the biggest highlights at this year’s Unpacked event.
