According to a report by Korea Economic TV today, Samsung plans to hold its next Galaxy Unpacked event in London, UK on July 22, 2026. This will be Samsung’s first time to launch its strategic devices in Europe.

In addition to the regular Galaxy Z Flip 8 and Fold 8, Samsung will also introduce a new wide-folded device called Galaxy Z Fold Wide (or Wide Fold) at that time. This is a “secret weapon” specially prepared to counter the challenge from Apple’s foldable iPhone.

In January this year, Flip 8 (SM-F776U) and Fold 8 (SM-F976U) were already listed in the GSMA database. Along with them, another model with the code name “H8” (the code for the Fold series is “Q” and for the Flip series is “B”) – SM-F971U – was also present.

As a new product line, the biggest highlight of Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Wide lies in its screen ratio. Rumors suggest that it will adopt a 4:3 screen ratio, shifting from the current slender design of the Fold series to a wider, more traditional tablet-like shape. This design is believed to significantly enhance the experience of using the device in landscape mode, reducing the large black borders on the top and bottom when viewing photos and videos, and improving multitasking capabilities.

The most important thing is that this device is expected to be 0.5 millimeters thinner than the Apple foldable screen iPhone.

In addition to the brand-new Wide Fold model, the Z Fold 8 and Z Flip 8 have also undergone several major upgrades. The most notable improvement is the display technology. Samsung Display showcased an OLED panel at CES 2026 that virtually eliminates visible creases. The industry generally believes that this technology will be first applied to the Z Fold 8 and Fold Wide, and creases will become the core battlefield in the competition of future foldable phone models.

Furthermore, the S Pen handwriting pen support that was absent on the Z Fold 7 due to the pursuit of a slim design is also highly likely to return on the Z Fold 8 or Fold Wide, becoming another significant differentiating advantage for Samsung in the competition with Apple’s foldable phone models.
In terms of core specifications, the Z Fold 8 is expected to be equipped with an internal screen of approximately 8 inches and an external screen of 6.5 inches, both of which support a 120Hz refresh rate. In terms of cameras, there may be regular upgrades, with the main camera expected to be upgraded to 200 million pixels; while the Fold Wide model may feature an internal screen of 7.6 inches and an external screen of 5.4 inches, using a dual-camera system. In terms of chips, both of the new Fold models are expected to be equipped with the Qualcomm 5th-generation Snapdragon 8 Supreme Edition platform, but the possibility of using the Exynos 2600 cannot be completely ruled out.

In terms of pricing, the starting price of the Z Fold 8 is expected to remain at the same level as the previous generation, which is $1999 (Note from Igeekphone: current exchange rate is approximately 13,680 yuan). However, considering the increase in component costs and tariff pressures, the final price may also be raised.

Apart from the new foldable screen model, Samsung’s upcoming event might also introduce a new generation of smartwatches, namely Galaxy Watch 9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2.

In terms of positioning, the media pointed out that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Wide competes with Apple’s foldable iPhone Fold. In terms of product design, it draws on the design concept of Google Pixel Fold, adopting a wider body ratio than the standard version, providing users with a grip sensation closer to that of a traditional phone and a wider reading experience.

In terms of appearance, based on the CAD rendering, the dimensions of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Wide when folded are 123.9 x 82.2 x 9.8 millimeters, and the thinnest part when unfolded is 4.9 millimeters.

The back of this device is equipped with a dual-camera module arranged vertically, and the lens protrusions are quite prominent. If the lens module is included, the overall thickness after folding will reach 14.6 millimeters. When placed flat on the table, it may cause some shaking.

In terms of hardware configuration, Igeekphone cited the article to state that the Galaxy Z Fold8 Wide is expected to adopt the same configuration as the Galaxy Z Fold8. It will use the Qualcomm 5th-generation Snapdragon 8 Supreme Edition for Galaxy custom chip, offering up to 16GB of memory and 1TB of storage space. It also comes with a 5000mAh large-capacity battery and supports 45W wired fast charging and 25W wireless charging.

In terms of the screen, the outer display of Galaxy Z Fold8 Wide is 5.4 inches, while the inner display is 7.6 inches.

In terms of appearance, the new model continues to feature an 8-inch internal screen and a 6.5-inch external screen, while maintaining the angular edges and straight sides. To ensure the quality of screen display, Samsung has not adopted the under-screen camera technology.

In terms of size, the source said that Samsung increased the thickness of the new device slightly to re-integrate the touch layer to support the S Pen. When unfolded, it is approximately 4.5 millimeters thick, and when folded, it is about 9 millimeters thick.

In terms of batteries, Samsung has alleviated the battery anxiety of foldable screen users by significantly increasing the battery capacity to 5000mAh. At the same time, the wired fast charging power has been upgraded to 45W, marking the largest battery breakthrough since the release of Galaxy Z Fold2.
In terms of chips, this device will be equipped with the fifth-generation Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Supreme Edition for Galaxy customized chip, and it offers up to 16GB of memory and 1TB of storage space.

In terms of imaging, the Galaxy Z Fold8 retains its signature large-sized camera module (with a thickness of approximately 5.5 millimeters) while precisely optimizing the lens parameters. The new rear camera system of the device consists of a 20-megapixel main camera, a 10-megapixel 3x telephoto lens, and a brand-new 5-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens.

Regarding the release information, it is reported that despite the industry pressure caused by the rising prices of flash memory and RAM, the starting price of the Galaxy Z Fold8 will remain at $1999 (Note from IGEEKPHONE: The current exchange rate is approximately 13,791 yuan). The release date is expected to be set for the summer of 2026.

In terms of the screen, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 is equipped with a 6.5-inch external screen and an 8-inch internal screen. Both screens adopt 120Hz dynamic AMOLED panels.

Samsung has enhanced the screen strength by introducing a double-layer ultra-thin glass (UTG) and laser-drilled metal support plates in the internal screen. This design makes the overall product thinner and lighter compared to its previous models.

In terms of chips, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 is equipped with the Qualcomm 5th generation Snapdragon 8 Supreme Edition for Galaxy chip, and is complemented by a VC liquid cooling system to effectively prevent the device from overheating. In terms of storage, users can choose up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage space.

In terms of the imaging system, the rear triple camera module consists of a 20-megapixel main camera, a 5-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 10-megapixel telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom capability.
This device is equipped with a 5000mAh battery and supports 45W fast charging. It is expected to be officially launched with the brand-new One UI 9 system in July or August 2026.

In terms of colors, the Samsung Galaxy A57 phone will offer lavender, black, light blue and gray; while the Galaxy A37 will provide purple, gray, green and black as options.
Both of these mobile phones will adopt Super AMOLED panels. However, the A57 seems to be superior. The parameter table clearly states that this model uses an AMOLED+ screen. Nevertheless, both models are equipped with a 6.7-inch screen with a resolution of 2340*1080, and both support 120Hz high refresh rate.

In terms of specifications, the parameter table shows that the dimensions of the Galaxy A57 are 161.5*76.8*6.9mm. Compared with the previous model A56 which is 7.4mm thick, it is much thinner. The weight has decreased from 198g of the previous model to 179g, making it feel even lighter. In contrast, the dimensions of the A37 are 162.9*78.2*7.4mm and it weighs 196g.

The Galaxy A57 is expected to retain a 50-megapixel main camera, supporting optical stabilization and HDR, along with a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens and a 5-megapixel macro lens. The A37, on the other hand, features the same parameters for the main camera and macro lens, but the ultra-wide-angle lens has been reduced to 8-megapixels.

In terms of battery life, both of the new models are expected to be equipped with a 5000mAh battery, which is the same capacity as the previous generation. However, the A37 will support 45W wired fast charging, capable of charging up to 65% in 30 minutes. It is expected that the A57 will also have the same level of specifications.

Among the three models disclosed this time, the one that deserves special attention is the Galaxy S26 FE phone, with the model number SM-S741B/D. This media predicts that this device will fill the performance gap of the Galaxy S25 FE phone (which is equipped with the Exynos 2400 chip) and will be equipped with the Exynos 2600 chip.

Another major highlight is the Galaxy M47 5G (model SM-M476B/DS) phone. Since Samsung launched the M44 5G in late 2023, the Samsung M4x series has been dormant for nearly three years.
The M series has always been known for its extremely large battery capacity and aggressive pricing. The return of the M47 5G model is expected to feature a high-efficiency 5G chip, a large-sized Super AMOLED screen, and long-lasting battery life.

The database also confirmed the existence of the Galaxy F70 Pro 5G (model SM-E476B/DS). The “DS” in the model suffix indicates that it natively supports dual SIM dual standby. This device is expected to upgrade its camera sensor, accelerate charging speed, and be equipped with a processor capable of handling heavy multimedia and gaming loads.

In terms of batteries, the current Galaxy Z Fold7 phone maintains the 4400mAh (typical value) capacity since the Galaxy Z Fold3. The latest news indicates that Galaxy Z Fold8 will exceed this to 5000mAh, making it the phone with the highest capacity in the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold series (excluding the Galaxy Z TriFold).

Igeekphone reports that the Galaxy Z Fold8 still adopts a dual-cell design. The rated capacities of the two batteries are 2369 mAh and 2485 mAh respectively, with a total rated capacity of 4845 mAh. However, during official promotions, the typical value of 5000mAh will be used.

In addition, the source also mentioned that the supply chain side also tested a battery with a single-cell capacity of 2393 mAh. Industry speculation suggests that this solution might be specifically designed for the “Fold Wide” derivative version with the code name “H8”. If this solution is adopted, the total typical capacity of this derivative version will reach 4900 mAh.

In terms of the imaging system, the Galaxy Z Fold8 with the code name “Q8” has undoubtedly adopted the flagship-level 200-megapixel sensor for its rear main camera, ensuring the core image quality output.

However, somewhat surprisingly, the front-facing cameras on both the internal and external screens still remain at 10 million pixels. Considering that Samsung has long abandoned the 10 million pixel front camera specification in the Galaxy S series, this decision seems relatively conservative in the foldable screen product line.

In terms of appearance, it is similar to the previously revealed Galaxy A57 phone. The right side border of the phone continues Samsung’s signature “Key Island” design, with the power button and volume buttons slightly raised. The screen border of this phone is still relatively thick. In contrast, the border of the higher-end Galaxy A57 is narrower, giving a more premium visual effect.

The front of the device is equipped with a 6.7-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display, which supports a 120Hz high refresh rate and features a 12-megapixel center-punched front camera. The phone is 7.4 millimeters thick and weighs approximately 196 grams. It also has an IP68 level of dust and water resistance.

In terms of color, this new device, which succeeds the Galaxy A36, offers four color options: Absolute White, Absolute Black, Absolute Grey-Green, and Absolute Purple. IGEEKPHONE has attached the relevant renderings below:

In terms of the imaging system, the rear of the phone features a classic vertical arrangement of three cameras. This module includes a 50-megapixel main camera with optical image stabilization (OIS), an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 5-megapixel macro lens.

In terms of performance, this device is equipped with Samsung’s self-developed Exynos 1480 processor, which has a CPU performance approximately 20% higher than that of the previous generation. Additionally, the device is equipped with a 5000mAh large-capacity battery and supports 45W fast charging technology.

Regarding the release date, the retail page revealed during this announcement indicates that the pre-sale period is from March 12th to March 20th, suggesting that Samsung might release this phone on March 21st.

The Galaxy A57 features a straight screen on the front, with a narrower bezel; the back adopts a vertical arrangement of three cameras, which are placed in a pill-shaped module; and the side of the device retains its distinctive “Key Island” button layout.

In the imaging system, the Galaxy A57 features a triple rear camera setup, consisting of a 50-megapixel main camera, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 5-megapixel macro lens. On the front, it is equipped with a 12-megapixel camera for selfies and video calls. The device is equipped with a 5000mAh battery, supports 45W fast charging, and comes pre-installed with the One UI 8.5 operating system based on Android 16 at the factory.
